Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review and draw lessons from the case of Family and Consumer Sciences(FCS) curriculums in Ohio and to provide implications to the designing of HE elective courses for high schools in Korea. For this, 19 curriculum documents that are available from the website of the Ohio Ministry of Education were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the following conclusions were drawn: First, following the example of the Ohio Pathway which was developed in consideration of the characteristics of the field, college admission, student's interests, and the societal change, it is recommended that Korean HE curriculum consider developing HE Pathway that reflects the characteristics of Korean HE education system. Second, Ohio's FCS curriculum offers a well-structured system consisting of total 18 courses and contents within the four broad FCS Pathway themes. Thus, it is suggested that the Korean Home Economics Education Association organize a task force to develop 'HE Pathways'-'College majors'-'Elective career focused courses', and student-centered career exploratory elective courses focusing on the students' needs. Third, it is necessary for HE teachers and professors to newly develop basic elective courses which lays the foundation for understanding of Home Economics and help students to follow advanced HE elective courses. Lastly, there is a need for designing career-focused elective courses that can provide practical resources for the college admission process by interviewing college admission officers, education specialists, career counselors, college admission specialists, home economic professors and teachers.

본 연구의 목적은 다양한 가정과 진로 선택과목을 개발해 운영하고 있는 오하이오 주 가정과 교육과정 사례를 살펴, 우리나라 고교학점제를 대비하기 위한 가정과 진로 선택과목 개발에 관한 시사점을 도출하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 오하이오 주 교육청 홈페이지에서 교육과정 문서 19건을 다운받아 분석에 활용하였다. 본 연구의 연구 결과와 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 오하이오 주가 제시한 가정과 진로 계열은 학문적 특성, 대학 입시, 학생들의 관심과 요구, 사회의 변화 등을 고려해 개발한 것으로, 이를 참고하여 우리나라 가정과 교육 실정에 맞는 가정과 진로 계열을 개발할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 오하이오 주 가정과 교육은 4개의 가정과 진로 계열과 각 계열에서 이수할 수 있는 총 18개의 선택과목명과 내용체계를 제시하고 있었다. 이에 한국 가정과교육학회 차원에서 TF팀을 구성하여 '가정 진로 계열'-'대학 학과'-'진로 선택과목' 안을 개발한 뒤, 이를 기반으로 가정과 진로 선택과목에 관한 고등학생들의 요구를 파악해 수요자 중심의 진로 선택과목을 개발할 필요가 있을 것이다. 셋째, 일반 선택과목인 '기술·가정(가정 교과)', 그리고 진로 선택과목인 '가정 과학'의 위계성과 내용 계열성을 고려하여, 가정과 진로 선택과목을 이수하기 위한 기초과목으로써 새로운 일반 선택과목 개발이 필요하다. 마지막으로 고등학생들의 대입 전형에 실제적인 도움이 주기위해 입학사정관, 가정과 교육과정 전문가, 진로 교사, 대입 전문가, 교수, 가정과 교사들을 대상으로 심층 면담을 실시 및 의견을 반영하여 가정 계열 대학 진학을 위해 필요한 진로 선택과목을 개발할 필요가 있을 것이다.
