This paper is aimed to improve the current curriculum in the Korean elementary school’s practical course, which covers both industrial fields and Home Economics. Specially inveotigated here are teacher’s attitude toward the practical course and the degree of difficulty in teaching each content of the practical course in the 4th and 5th grade in the elementary school in term’s of teacher’s sex and localing. Since two heterogeneous subjects, industrial fie인 and Home Economics, are integrated into one subject named the practical course, the teaching of the practical course is not specialized. Besides, the teaching is implemented inefficiently, owing to the teacher’s misunderstanding of the practical course. In this respect, as a way of maximizing the effectiveness of practical course in elementary school, the authors suggest some proposals. (1) The curriculum of practical course should be divided into two course, industrial fields and Home Economics (2) All students should be completed Home Economics as a required course (3) A system of full-time teacher for Home Economics subject should be introduced. Concurrently, the curriculum of the practical course in Teacher’s College be modified.

현재 우리는 지금까지 아무도 예측하지 못할 정도의 인공지능의 발달과 빠른 기술혁신에 따른 4차 산업혁명시대로의 변화시점에 있다. 본 연구는 '4차 산업혁명시대로의 변화에 따라 가정과교육은 어떤 역할을 수행해야 하는가?'의 문제의식에서 출발하였으며, 구체적으로 4차 산업혁명시대의 특징과 교육의 방향에 따른 가정과교육의 역할에 초점을 맞추어 연구를 진행하였다. 4차 산업혁명의 특징은 인공지능(AI), 클라우드 컴퓨팅(Cloud Computing), 사물인터넷(IoT), 빅 데이터(Big Data), O2O(Online to Offline) 등으로, 일상생활뿐만 아니라 사회체제와 과학기술, 그리고 직업의 구조에 급격한 변화를 가져올 것이다. 그 과정에서 비인간화되어가는 현상, 로봇과 인공지능의 발전에 따른 인간의 도덕성과 윤리적인 면에 문제를 줄 수 있기 때문에, 4차 산업혁명 시대 교육의 방향은 미래 공동체를 위해 함께하는 인성과 시민의식을 갖춘 미래 인재를 양성하는 방향으로 총체적인 변화가 모색되어져야 한다. 또한 초지능, 초연결 사회로의 변화를 가져올 4차 산업혁명이 교육에 주는 시사점은 인간이 인간으로서의 가치를 스스로 내면화하도록 교육의 역할이 강조되어져야 한다는 것이다. 인성교육은 교육과정의 통합 속에서 개념이 정립되고 보편타당한 내면화된 의식으로 자리 잡아야 하며 구체적인 실천적 전략들이 마련되어져야 한다. 결론적으로 4차 산업혁명시대 가정과교육의 역할은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 4차 산업혁명시대 가정과교육은 인간의 본성인 인성교육의 중추적 역할을 담당하여야 한다. 인성교육을 주도적으로 담당해야 한다는 것이다. 또한 4차 산업혁명시대 가정과교육은 인간의 다양한 삶의 본질적인 개선에 선도적 역할을 담당하여야 한다. 4차 산업혁명은 인간의 정신적, 육체적 활동뿐만 아니라, 인간의 정체성도 바뀌어 갈 것이다. 3차 산업혁명 이후의 사회에서는 산재해 있는 지식을 얼마나 신속하고 정확하게 습득할 수 있느냐가 중요했다면 4차 산업혁명의 지능정보화사회에서는 빠른 변화 속에서 인간의 본성을 지키기 위해 지식을 어떻게 활용할 것인지를 배우는 것이 요구된다. 이렇듯 4차 산업혁명은 우리 삶을 형성하는 시스템에 영향을 끼침으로써 가족과 조직, 공동체를 긍정적으로 이끌어갈 수 있는 방향성을 모색하게 되는데 가정과교육이 이러한 역할을 선도적으로 담당해야 한다.

Creativity is a trait necessarily demanded in highly industrial and information oriented society. Accordingly, we should develop creativity through school education. The purpose of this study is to inquire a conceptual model and teaching method for developing creative problem solving skills in home economics education which can work at a platform for the curriculum developer. Although many definitions of creativity consider cognitive aspect more, personal or affective aspect is heavily involved with creativity. Therefore, creativity is a dynamic system which cooperates many contrasting and dialectic components in personal and cognitive aspects. The function of creativity is dependent on diverse environmental system. Environments influence on the extent of the development of creativity. Thus, the person-situation interaction model devised by Woodman and Schoenfeldt, integration of cognitive, affective, and situational aspects, is suggested as a conceptual model for teaching creativity in home economics education. The practical reasoning teaching model is suggested as a teaching method for developing creative problem solving skills in home economics education. The components of creative problem solving which involved with practical reasoning process are general knowledge and skills, specific knowledge and skills, divergent thinking skills, motivation and motives, and critical thinking skills.

This study explored the organization of high school Home Economics (HE) selective curriculum for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We critically review the change process of HE curriculum as well as problems based on the understanding of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The results were as follows. First, regarding the characteristic consistently shown in the revision process of high school curriculum, the huge increase of the number of subject organized resulted from the intensification of the selective-centered curriculum strengthening the choice for school and students. However, HE was reduced to some 'Technology-Home Economics' subject and a single subject 'HE Science' as a selective subject was subsequently combined with Technology after the $7^{th}$ curriculum period. Consequently, HE hard to organize the career-focused curriculum, emphasized by the revised 2015 curriculum due to the insufficient number of subjects. Second, the choice of HE in high school curriculum should be expanded as measures to organize the HE curriculum of high school to cope with changes that result from the Fourth Industrial Revolution. For the operation of the career-focused curriculum, career selective subjects and specialized subjects should be more diversely established. In accordance with changes in a future society that results from the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the HE education community should be prepared in advance to be organized as a selective subject when revising a subsequent curriculum, by newly establishing subjects necessary to students through collective intelligence and deliberation with pedagogists and scholars for subject content as well as by producing/getting approval from government-recognized textbooks.

The model in the study is first drawn from the assumptions that reflect ever changing demands of industrial society for Home Economics education. Another perspective employed in the study is historical analysis that focuses on the evolution of the Vocational Home Economics Curricula from the 1st through the 6th revision. This study also employes comparative research tools for the national level comparison such as USA, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea. The proposed model curriculum in this study is concluded from those step-by-step studies as follows：1) Problem definition and design in current curriculum for Vocational Home Economics high school； 2) Needs and roles analysis of Vocational Home Economics high school for the future； and 3)Historical analysis of our curriculum revisions in the past and coparative analysis with other countries. Authors conducted this research project for 3 month period from June 15, 1996 to September 15, 1996. During this period, authors collected the data and information through those method as an extensive literature review, survey and interview, and curriculum specialist conference. The key and critical features of the proposed curriculum in the study are as follows：1) In the numbers of department, a proposed model curriculum offers 8 as opposed to 6 in the 6th revision, reflecting two additional departments of “Elderly Welfare”and “Cosmotology”. 2) In the statement of educational objectives, a model curriculum emphasizes a more concrete statement to each specific skills according to the changing societal needs. 3) In the numbers of total subject matters, there would be 40 in the new as opposed to 23 in the current curriculum. Among these changes, 17 would occurr in the newly introduced subject matters, while 11 would simply change the subject matter name. Among 40 subject matter, “Introduction to Computer” and “Home Economics in Vocational Education”would be required subject matter. 4) In the total numbers of required unit for graduation in three years, a model offers 86∼132 unit.
