Abstract

The purposes of this study were to investigate the intensity of middle school students' consumer competency and to assess effectiveness of Home Economics education on consumer competency. One group pretest-posttest quasi experimental design was employed to assess the effectiveness of Home Economics education on 1st grade middle school students' consumer competency in Gyeonggi province and 154 data copies were used for analyses. The results obtained were as follows. First, the cognitive consumer competency of the middle school 1st grade students was lower than the median of 37.66 out of 100 points, and the practical consumer competency was slightly higher than the median of 3.26 out of 5 points. As for cognitive competency, citizen competency was higher than deal competency. As for practical competency, deal competency was higher than citizen competency. Second, quasi-experiment intervention statistically enhanced the middle school students' consumer competency including the cognitive and practical competency. Third, the middle school students' perceived helpfulness of Home Economics education, perceived importance of deal competency and citizen competency, the level of cognitive citizen competency were statistically influential to practical consumer competency(deal and citizen competency). However, gender, life satisfaction, and cognitive citizen competency were not influential to practical consumer competency(deal and citizen competency). The outcome offered the basic information of middle school students' consumer competency and confirmed the effectiveness of Home Economics education on the middle school students' consumer competency.

본 연구의 목적은 가정교과의 소비자교육이 중학생의 소비자역량 발달에 미치는 효과를 알아보는데 있다. 이에 단일집단 사전·사후 유사 실험 설계를 사용하여 경기도 소재의 중학교 1학년 7개 학급 남녀학생을 대상으로 가정교과에서 소비자교육을 실시한 후, 그 효과를 검증하였다. PASW 18.0 프로그램을 사용하여 신뢰도 검증, 대응표본 t검증, 다중회귀 분석을 한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중학교 신입생의 인지적 소비자역량은 100점 만점에 37.66으로 중간보다 낮았고, 실천적 소비자역량은 5점 만점에 3.26으로 중간보다 높았다. 인지적 소비자역량은 시민역량(M=39.97)이 거래역량(M=36.15)보다 높았고, 실천적 소비자역량은 거래역량(M=3.32)이 시민역량(M=3.16)보다 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 중학생은 가정교과에서 소비자교육을 받고 난 후에, 인지적·실천적 소비자역량(거래, 시민) 모두 통계적으로 유의하게 향상되었다. 특히 가정과수업을 통한 소비자교육은 인지적인 측면에서는 구매의사 결정력과 소비자권리 주장력을 향상시키고, 실천적인 측면에서는 정보이해·활용력과 소비자권리 주장력을 크게 향상시키며, 가정과교육의 도움 정도에 대한 인식과 생활만족도도 유의하게 향상시키는 효과가 있었다. 셋째, 중학생의 실천적 소비자역량(거래, 시민)은 가정과교육내용이 실제 생활에 도움이 된다고 인식할수록, 인지적 소비자 시민역량이 높을수록, 소비자 거래 또는 시민 영역이 중요하다고 인식할수록 높게 나타났다. 하지만 성별과 생활만족도, 인지적 소비자 거래역량은 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 결론적으로 가정과수업을 통한 소비자교육은 중학생의 인지적 소비자역량과 실천적 소비자역량을 향상시키는데 매우 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 후속 연구를 위해 소비자역량 척도, 소비자역량 연구, 가정과교육의 소비자역량 강화 측면에서 제언하였다.
