Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the trends and core keywords of the secondary school home economics teacher selection test using content analysis and text network analysis. The sample comprised texts of the secondary school home economics teacher 1st selection test for the 2017-2022 school years. Determination of frequency of occurrence, generation of word clouds, centrality analysis, and topic modeling were performed using NetMiner 4.4. The key results were as follows. First, content analysis revealed that the number of questions and scores for each subject (field) has remained constant since 2020, unlike before 2020. In terms of subjects, most questions focused on 'theory of home economics education', and among the evaluation content elements, the highest percentage of questions asked was for 'home economics teaching·learning methods and practice'. Second, the network of the secondary school home economics teacher selection test covering the 2017-2022 school years has an extremely weak density. For the 2017-2019 school years, 'learning', 'evaluation', 'instruction', and 'method' appeared as important keywords, and 7 topics were extracted. For the 2020-2022 school years, 'evaluation', 'class', 'learning', 'cycle', and 'model' were influential keywords, and five topics were extracted. This study is meaningful in that it attempted a new research method combining content analysis and text network analysis and prepared basic data for the revision of the evaluation area and evaluation content elements of the secondary school home economics teacher selection test.
