The purpose of this study is to develop the curriculum of a health-related do artment which can educate the multi-functional health professionals serving individuals´ health flexibly and comprehensively in a close academic linkage with the ecisting nursing department.
The school length of such curriculum was conceived to be 4 years in consideration that the college introducing the curriculum purports to be a four-year curriculum.
Above all, the literature was extensively reviewed to examine the changes of social and health policies and analyze people´s attitudes towards their health, and thereby, define the roles of a multi-functional health professional. And then, other junior colleges and universities operating a health-related department were surveyed through questionnaire, internet or interviews to collect the data on their curriculum goals, requirements and facilities.
Based on the data analyzed, four departments were selected as relevant to the purpose of this study, health promotion and rehabilitation : "Occupational Therapy", "Physical Therapy", "Exercise Prescription" and "Recreation". Then, curriculum goals, conditions, programs, facilities, potential job opportunities and human resources of each department were reviewed and thereby, a curriculum educating the multi-functional
health professionals were developed.
The principles adopted for the curriculum development was set as follows ; (1) Conformity to the philosophy of Red Cross Academy (2) Capacity of playing such multi-functional roles such as cooperative,
counsellor, health professional, therapist, and informative adviser, etc. (3) Sharing of human and material resources with existing departments
(4) Educating the professionals engaged actively in primary, secondary and
tertiary preventive health programs
Based on the Red Cross spirits and general pedagogic aim, the educational philosophy of the new curriculum was defined seven-fold : altruism, equality, humanism, beneficial learning, freedom, justice and truth. The educational goals were set as follows ; learning of basic and professional knowledge as well as skills, students´ active involvement in education, improvement of students´ quality of life, realizatic,.. oi students´ self actualization, development of students´ democratic quality, etc.
The contents of the curriculum are organized in such a way that students could learn knowledge and skills about activity and psychosocial rehabilitation therapies_, roles of psychologic counsellor, first-aid technician and exercise prescriptionist, and thereby, could acquire necessary licenses. A third of the total 140 credits needed for graduation is reserved for cultural subjects and subjects relating to human, another third for humanity science, pathology, psychology, activity therapy theories and other basic major subjects, and the other third is reserved for activity therapy theories and practices ´depending on students´ needs. Thus, the ratio between majors and cultural subjects is set at 80:20, while that between required and selective subjects is set at 42:58, which means an expanded selection of subjects for students´ autonomy.
On the other hand, the curriculum is organized in such a way that students can learn about cultural and basic major subjects during their first and second year, and
jiereupon that they can deepen their study during their third and fourth year.
The new department will share the facilities with the nursing department for basic science practices, but need such extra facilities as activity therapy practice room, activity fot daily living therapy practice room, etc. It is suggested that the existing seminar room sould be renovated to create the spaces for individual therapy rooms, observation rooms and counselling rooms.
According to this study, it is hopeful that this study sould be followed up by future studies polling the public opinions extensively and that the practice programs be more substantiated by continued curriculum development to be effective field practice programs.
