This preliminary study aimed to determine how medical students perceive character education in Korea. A structured survey questionnaire was distributed to 10 medical students between September and December 2018, of whom 6 students replied. Students’ responses were classified into elements, which were also categorized. Twenty-nine core elements of characters in 8 categories were verified as essential for doctors and as needs for character education. The most frequently suggested categories were “care and respect,” “empathy and communication,” and “responsibility and calling.” Participants also stated that various forms of character education are necessary and that they were not satisfied with the teaching methods of the character education that they had received. These results verified the most essential character traits for doctors and identified problems related to current character education. The results of this study will be helpful for preparing the character education curriculum in medical schools.
本初步研究旨在确定医学生如何看待韩国的品格教育。2018 年 9 月至 12 月期间，向 10 名医学生分发了一份结构化的调查问卷，其中 6 名学生做出了回应。学生的回答被分为要素，并进行了分类。在 8 个类别中，有 29 个核心品格要素被验证为医生所必需的，也是品格教育的需求。被提及最多的类别是“关爱和尊重”、“同理心和沟通”以及“责任和使命感”。参与者还表示，各种形式的品格教育都是必要的，他们对自己所接受的品格教育的教学方法并不满意。这些结果验证了医生最基本的品格特质，并发现了与当前品格教育相关的问题。本研究的结果将有助于医学院校准备品格教育课程。
