Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate high school students' needs for home economics elective courses in line with the introduction of the high school credit system and the development of the next home economics curriculum. To this end, 1,689 high school students across the country were analyzed for needs of home economics elective courses (eighteen elective courses and six sub-disciplines of home economics) and differences in the needs of home economics elective courses based on gender, grade levels, and completion of home economics science subject. The research results were as follows. Among the six sub-disciplines, the preference for 'dietary life' was the highest, and in terms of teaching types, experiment and practice class had significantly higher preference in 'dietary life' than other sub-disciplines. Girls showed higher preferences for home economics elective courses than boys, and the third graders showed significantly higher preferences only for the 'dietary life' sub-discipline than the first graders. High school students who are learning or have learned the home economics science subject showed higher preference for home economics elective courses in all the sub-disciplines than those who have not learned it. Based on the results of this study, it is suggested for the national curriculum development that further researches should be actively carried out to develop home economics career elective subjects.

본 연구는 고교학점제 도입 및 차기 가정과 교육과정 개발에 발맞추어 고등학생들의 가정계열 선택과목에 대한 요구를 조사하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 전국 1,689명의 고등학생을 대상으로 가정계열 선택과목에 대한 요구와 성별, 학년, 가정과학 이수여부에 따른 가정계열 선택과목(각 과목별, 분야별)에 대한 차이를 분석하였다. 그 결과 가정 계열 중 식생활 분야에 대한 선호가 가장 높았으며, 선호하는 수업 방식에 있어서도 식생활 분야에서는 다른 분야에 비해 실험과 실습 수업에 대한 요구가 월등히 높았다. 성별 선호도의 차이에서는 가정계열 전체 분야에 걸쳐 여학생이 남학생에 비해 높은 선호를 보였으며, 학년별로는 식생활 분야에서만 3학년이 1학년보다 과목에 대한 선호가 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 또한 가정과학을 배우고 있거나 배운 학생들이 가정과학을 배우지 않은 학생들에 비해 모든 분야에서 선호가 높게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 기초로, 차기 교육과정에서 가정계열 진로 선택과목 개발을 위한 심화 연구가 활발히 진행되기를 희망한다.
