Abstract

High school credit system refers to a system in which a student selects the desired content according to his/her subject and completes accumulated credits to reach graduation when a certain standard is reached. The purpose of this study is to identify the advantages and disadvantages to the technology and home economics education after the introduction of the high school credit system by analyzing the status of high school elective subjects in technology and home economics areas, and the perceptions and needs of teachers and experts as the introduction of the high school credit system approaches. A survey was conducted to all professors in the Department of Home Economics Education or Technology Education, along with a national sample of the secondary school teachers of Home Economics and Technology, and responses of 282 teachers and 36 experts were analyzed. Results are as follows: First, in general high schools, the formation and operation of elective courses in technical and home economics were very insufficient. Second, there was a large number of requests for the expansion of elective courses in technology and home economics among the high school teachers. Third, in order to take advantage of the high school credit system, it was recognized that elective courses in technology and home economics should be established not only in consideration of secondary school education, but in relation to their connections with majors in universities. Improving the structure of electives in this direction is expected to play a positive role in allowing elective courses in technology and home economics to contribute to ensuring students' free choice.

고교학점제는 학생이 자신의 과목에 따라 원하는 내용을 선택하고 누적된 학점을 완료하여 특정 기준에 도달하면 졸업을 인정하는 시스템을 의미한다. 본 연구의 목적은 고교학점제 도입이 가까워짐에 따라 고등학교 기술·가정과 선택과목 실태와 교사 및 전문가의 인식 및 요구를 분석하여 고교학점제 도입 이후 기술·가정과에서 취할 수 있는 장단점을 파악하는 데 있다. 전국 표집에 근거한 기술·가정과 교사와 전국 가정교육과 및 기술교육과의 모든 교수를 대상으로 하여 각 교사 282명, 전문가 36명을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시했으며, 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일반계 고등학교에서 기술·가정과의 선택과목 편성 및 운영은 매우 미흡한 것으로 나타났으며 둘째, 고등학교 기술·가정과 교사들은 기술·가정과 선택과목에 대한 확대를 요구하고 있었으며 셋째, 고교학점제의 취지를 살리기 위해서는 중등교육은 물론 대학의 전공과의 연계성을 모두 고려하여 기술·가정과 선택과목이 개설되어야 한다고 인식하고 있었다. 이러한 방향으로의 선택과목 개선은 학생들의 자유로운 선택권을 보장함과 동시에 기술·가정과 교육 발전에도 긍정적인 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다.
