최근 여가 문화 비중이 날로 증가하면서 레저 관광 문화에 대한 관심 증대와 동시에 질 높은 문화 향유에 대한 기대치가 높아지고 있다. 초 중 고 자녀들의 견문 넓히기를 위해 주말이면 나들이를 떠나는 인구 비중 역시 문화 향유 기대치와 비례하여 계속 늘고 있는 추세다. 주말 가족 단위의 여행을 통한 체험은 휴식과 놀이는 물론 교육적인 목적을 포함한 활동이기를 기대한다. 최근 교육 프로그램은 과거 아이들만 현장에 맡기는 탁아형에서 벗어나 부모가 교육 활동에 개입하는 공유형으로 나아가고 있는 추세이며, 가족간 결속과 가족 탄력성이 은연중에 스며들도록 하는 잠재적 교육과정의 실현이 매우 중요해졌다. 본 고에서는 박물관에서의 가족 교육 프로그램 제공을 통한 온가족 참여 교육 결과를 가족 대상 설문과 인터뷰를 통해 분석해보고 보다 적극적인 가족 형태의 교육활성화를 제고하고자 한다.

This study is about the relationship between traditional familism and welfare consciousness in Korea. Traditional familism is known as the value that most Koreans share with, and the impeding value for welfare program development. Strong family solidarity and family-centered perception among Koreans influences other social values and ideology. Especially, care of the family members is understood as a family duty and responsibility. And this inhibits Koreans to develop welfare consciousness and further to develop welfare programs at the governmental level. Thus, this study purposes to explore the relationship between the two. The sample of 1,131 men and women was selected in Seoul area. As a result, traditional familism is found to be quite influential to welfare consciousness among Koreans. First, perception of welfare institution is strongly related with welfare consciousness. The respondents in high familism group showed low welfare consciousness. Second, state-friendly welfare responsibility was shown low in the group of high familism for the aged and youth. In the same context, for the disabled and the unemployed, state-friendly welfare responsibility was shown high in the group of low familism. Lastly, the relationship between familism and the welfare need was not apparent. Such results make possible to conclude that traditional familism among Korean is still influential to welfare consciousness and welfare ideology. However, although this conclusion should not be used for an excuse to avoid state responsibility but used as a tool to develop a welfare model to strengthen family function as one solid family.
