Abstract

Since its establishment in 1989, Korean Home Economics Education Association has served as the premiere academic organization in the field, through the semiannual meetings, the journal, and other informal activities. The Association has played important roles in organizing the members and guiding the academic community in reacting to the many challenges that Home Economics Education in South Korea had to encounter due to the social and curricular changes. This study reviews the past 20 years' activities of Korean Home Economics Education Association in order to illuminate its accomplishments in terms of academic and non-academic activities. An assessment of the environmental changes was conducted, followed by thorough analyses of the semiannual meetings, informal activities, and the journal. The article is also discussing future tasks that the Association would need to pay attention to and thrive to accomplish in order to continue serving its role of guiding the academic community.

1989년에 창립된 이래, 한국가정과교육학회는 학술대회, 학술지 및 다양한 활동들을 통하여 이 분야의 주요 학술단체로서의 역할을 수행해 왔다. 사회적 환경 및 교육과정에서의 변화로 인하여 가정과교육이 맞게 된 다양한 도전과 문제들에 대응하기 위하여 학회는 회원들을 조직화하고 학술공동체를 이끄는 노력을 해 왔다. 이 연구는 지난 20여 년간의 한국가정과교육학회의 활동을 검토해 봄으로써 학회가 이루어 온 성과들을 정리하였다. 특히 가정과교육을 둘러싸고 있는 환경적 변화에 대하여 분석한 내용과, 지금까지의 학술대회 및 특별활동, 학술지를 분석한 결과를 제시하였다. 또한 이를 통하여 학회가 주도적 역할을 계속 수행하기 위하여 앞으로 관심을 기울이고 해결해야 할 과제들을 제시하고 있다.
