Abstract

This study aimed at exploring male home economics(HE) teachers' identities through narrative inquiry. Considering experiences of HE teachers and diversity in regions, twelve male teachers were chosen, and in-depth interviews were conducted between June 1st and July 31st, 2019. The transcription of the data was transferred to the Hancom Office Hangeul 2010 while the researcher listened to the recordings of the interviews. The total amount of transcription data was 174 pages, and the data were analyzed through open coding, categorization, and category verification. The themes identified as results of this study were as follows: First, 'Coincidence: Breaking the Wall of Prejudice' is related to the experiences that have a great influence on the formation of identity as a male HE teacher: motivation to enter the HE department, educational practice, etc. Through this, the experience of becoming a male HE teacher was recorded. Second, 'Facing: Surviving as a male HE Teacher' captures the current story of male HE teachers and the perspectives of their fellow teachers, family, and friends about male HE teachers. In this section, male HE teachers showed how HE classes and assessments, and their experiences in their lives, influenced their identities. Third, 'Expectations: Growing as a HE teacher' is a story about the future of male HE teachers. The ideal teacher image pursued by male HE teachers was a practical teacher. They hoped that in 10 or 20 years, they would have smooth and professional relationship with students. They advise prospective male HE teachers to become a competent HE teacher regard less of their gender. The significance of this study is that it broke the stereotype of 'HE teachers should be female' and expanded the horizon of HE education by exploring the identities of male HE teachers.

본 연구는 남자 가정과교사의 내러티브 탐구를 통해 남자 가정과교사의 정체성을 탐색하는 데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 경력과 지역의 다양성을 고려하여 선정한 12명의 남자 가정과교사를 대상으로 2019년 6월 1일부터 2019년 7월 31일까지 심층면담을 하였다. 자료의 전사는 연구자가 직접 녹음된 면담 내용을 들으면서 한글 2010에 전사하였다. 전사 자료는 개방 코딩, 범주화, 범주 확인의 과정을 거쳐 분석하였으며, 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, '우연: 편견의 벽을 깨고'에서는 남자 가정과교사로서 정체성 형성에 큰 영향을 미치는 가정교육과에 입학한 동기, 교육실습, 임용 TO의 벽 등을 통해 남자 가정과교사가 되기까지의 경험을 담았다. 둘째, '직면: 남자 가정과교사로 살아내기'는 남자 가정과교사로서 경험했던 현재의 이야기와 남자 가정과교사에 대한 동료교사, 가족, 친구들의 생각을 담았다. 남자 가정과교사들이 가정과 수업과 평가를 하면서, 그리고 그들의 삶 속에서 느낀 경험이 정체성에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지를 살폈다. 셋째, '기대: 가정과교사로 성장하기'는 남자 가정과교사의 미래에 대한 이야기이다. 남자 가정과교사들은 실천하는 교사를 추구하며, 전문성을 갖춘 교사가 되기를 희망하였다. 남자 가정과교사를 꿈꾸는 후배들에게는 성별을 따지지 말고 실력 있는 가정과교사가 되라고 조언하였다. 이 연구는 연구에 참여한 남자 가정과교사의 수가 많고 지역이 다양하여 그들의 깊이 있는 내러티브를 담지 못했다는 제한점이 있다. 그러나 이 연구는 '가정과교사는 여성'이라는 고정관념을 깨고, 가정과교육의 연구 대상을 남자 가정과교사로 확장하여 가정과교육의 지평을 확대한 것에 의의가 있다.
