A Study on the Effectiveness Evaluation on the Science and Technology Human Development Policy

This paper analyzes the effectiveness of the science and technology (S&T) human resource policies in Korea and evaluates whether the packages of the S&T human resource programs may contribute the overall goals of the S&T human resource policies. This paper focuses on the five major policies and the fourteen major programs of the the sciences and engineering human resource development and support plan. This paper finds that the qualitative analysis shows lower effectiveness of the S&T human resource policies. Specifically, the legal arrangements including the Higher Education Act may have lower effectiveness. The demand-oriented human resource development program also shows lower outcomes. These findings may indicate the outdates of the Higher Education Act and shows the lower outcomes of the S&T human resource development by the collaborative industry-university efforts, especially in the next generation core S&T fields. However, the policy effectiveness of the core research human resource development and the science and engineering human resource infrastructure support may show relatively higher outcomes.
