Abstract

This study aims to present a case of implementing educational programs that integrate theory and experience, leading to practical environmental conservation practices within households, and to analyze and evaluate their effectiveness. To achieve these goals, various hands-on environmental education programs related to family life, including carbon-neutral practices, clothing, food, housing, and design, were implemented for early adulthood. Pre- and post-surveys provided by the Korea Environmental Preservation Association were utilized to assess awareness and willingness to engage in environmental conservation among participants, and consultation with an expert was conducted to understand the effectiveness of the educational programs. As a result, the findings confirmed a notable enhancement in participants' environmental consciousness and commitment to action following the program compared to pre-program levels. The results of open-ended questions showed that the content participants wanted to learn and what they actually learned in the classes were similar, validating the effectiveness of the program. The consultation results indicated that presenting various practical methods related to household life would be effective; however, there was a suggestion for the need to consider aspects such as post-practical food management and the unique characteristics of multicultural household members when developing educational programs. This educational initiative holds promise for instigating perceptible shifts in the awareness and proactive engagement of young adults across the spectrum of household dynamics, thereby contributing significantly to the establishment of sustainable living paradigms.

본 연구는 이론과 체험이 조화를 이루어 가정 내에서 환경보호의 실천으로 이어질 수 있는 교육프로그램의 적용 사례를 제시하고 효과를 분석하여 평가하는 것을 목적으로 진행하였다. 이를 위해 성인전기를 대상으로 가정생활과 관련된 탄소중립 실천 방법은 물론 의류, 식품, 주거, 생활디자인과 관련된 다양한 환경교육 실습 프로그램을 구성하고 이를 적용하였다. 또한 환경보전협회에서 제시한 사전⋅사후 설문지를 활용하여 환경보호에 대한 인식과 실천 의지를 확인하고 전문가 1인의 자문을 받아 교육프로그램의 효과를 파악하고자 하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 환경의식과 실천 의지 관련 설문조사 결과 참여자의 수업 후 환경의식과 실천 정도가 수업 전에 비해 향상되었다는 점에서 수업의 효과를 확인하였다. 개방형 질문 결과, 참여자가 수업을 통해 배우고 싶은 내용과 실제 수업에서 배운 내용이 유기적으로 연계되어 수업이 진행되었음을 확인하였다. 자문 결과 가정생활과 관련된 다양한 실천 방안 제시가 효과가 있을 것으로 평가받았으나, 실습 후 남는 음식 관리와 다문화 가정 구성원의 특성을 고려한 교육프로그램 구성의 필요성을 제안받았다. 본 교육프로그램이 가정생활 전반에 걸친 청년층의 인식과 실천 의지 변화를 이끌어내어 지속가능한 생활 패러다임 구축에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
