제7차 교육과정의 중등학교 가정 교과서에 나타난 진로교육 내용분석

A Content Analysis on Career Education in Home Economics Textbook of the Secondary School developed by the 7th Educational Process

본 연구는 중등학교 가정교과서의 진로 내용을 분석하여 가정교과가 진로교육의 어떠한 내용 요소를 얼마나 강조하여 다루고 있는지를 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 이에 제7차 교육과정을 적용하여 개발된 7학년에서 10학년까지의 기술가정 교과서의 가정 영역(이하 가정교과서)을 한국직업능력개발원(2001)에서 개발한 '학교급별 진로교육의 목표 및 내용 체계'를 준거로 내용분석법을 활용하여 진로 교육 내용의 단원별 구성과 영역별 비중을 알아보았다. 연구결과 중등학교 가정교과서 대단원 영역에서 진로교육 내용이 전반적으로 각 영역에 걸쳐 분포하고 있었으며, 출판사별 특징보다는 각 단원의 학습 내용과 특성을 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 중등학교 가정 교과서의 진로교육 영역별 비중에서는 '일과 직업 세계' 영역의 내용이 두드러지게 많이 나타났다. 이는 가정교과가 직업세계에 대한 흥미와 탐색의 기회를 충분히 줄 수 있는 교과라는 것을 보여주는 결과이며 교과서가 진로교육을 강화하고자 하는 교육과정을 잘 반영하고 있음을 보여주는 것이라 해석할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to find out how much home economics(HE) textbook was focused on what kind of factors in career education, by analyzing the HE textbooks from the 7th grade(1st grade of the middle school) to the 10th grade(1st grade of high school), which were developed by applying the 7th educational process. 12 textbooks which were published by three publishers were randomly selected by grade. This study used the instrument developed by Korea Research Institute for Vacational Education & Training(2001) as an analysis frame, along with a content analysis system. The results of this study were as follows. The publishers of HE textbook stressed similar points in each section of career education, evenly reflecting the objectives and contents of career education. Three kinds of publishers also placed the same weight on the factors of career education in each unit, and suggested the contents related to career education in the whole units. HE textbook was designed to lead learners to understand self and have interest in varied occupations. Additionally, it provided the learners with a chance to consider their career and occupation by means of detailed job information, and its contents including learning of occupational ability for job selection were useful to plan and prepare for career. Accordingly, as HE textbook is most effective to promote connection between work and learning and contains proper factors of career guidance, it is one of the most appropriate textbooks to deal with career education.
