This study was conducted to improve the quality of the after-school beauty program and activate the program more. For achieving this purpose, a survey was conducted targeting 194 middle school students in Seoul and Gyeonggi area, who participated in the after-school beauty education, to analyze their satisfaction with after-school beauty program class management, class contents and class effect and find out improvements. The study was performed to establish the foundation to cultivate professional beauticians by exactly figuring out the advantages and disadvantages of an after-school beauty program running currently, seeking an efficient management plan of the after-school beauty program, and providing the basis data to introduce instructor qualification criteria and verification processes. The results of comparative analysis conducted on program operation were as follows: In the preferred career field (Ⅰ), the satisfaction of beauty sector career seekers was lower. In the preferred career field (Ⅱ), the satisfaction of hair sector career seekers was lower, followed by nail art, make-up, and non-beauty sector career seekers. Comparative analysis on program information was also conducted. The results are as follows: In the preferred career field (Ⅰ), the satisfaction of beauty sector career seekers was lower. In the preferred career field (Ⅱ), hair sector career seekers and nail art sector career seekers had lower satisfaction, whereas make-up sector career seekers and non-beauty sector seekers showed higher satisfaction. Additionally, comparative analysis on the program effect was performed. The results found that students who wished beauty related occupations in the future and students who were interest in beauty had higher satisfaction in terms of motivation for participating in the program. The results also demonstrated that in the preferred career field (Ⅱ), make-up career seekers had the highest satisfaction, and that participants in nail art, hair. and non- beauty sectors were similarly satisfied. As for the improvements in the beauty program, participants made the most common response to ‘I wish that classroom facilities would improve more’ (39.7%), followed by to ‘skills- oriented careful instruction’ (18.6%), and to ‘I wish that lectures would be more levelled lectures by a small elite group’ (11.9%). It was found that the students, who desired to engage in beauty treatment and hair·nail care, showed a low satisfaction with program management and contents, and the beauty program was effective for the students that desired to have beauty treatment-related jobs and participated in the education program, because they were interested in beauty treatment. Also, it was identified that for improving the quality of the beauty program, the class facility should be improved, and technique-oriented graded education is required. In conclusion, it would be possible to enhance satisfaction with program management and contents, based on this study result. Furthermore, there would be a need for effort of schools and teachers to improve the class facility and develop technique-oriented graded education, and accurate qualification standards for improving the quality of teachers should be established.
