ABSTRACT

A Study on Cognitive Assessment of the Housing Life Unit for Technology and Home Economics for Middle School Students Living in Rural Areas

Kim, Kyung Jin Advisor : Prof. Cho, Yong Joon Technology & Home Economics Education Graduate School of Education Chosun University

As the functions and forms of houses as a basic unit of living depend on technological development, to maintain a pleasant home life, we have to have basic knowledge about housing life. Therefore, the government has included basic knowledge on housing in the curricula for elementary, middle, and high schools. So, this study looked into the composition of units and the content in four different versions of textbooks on technology and home economics used in middle schools and interviewed middle school students with the use of a questionnaire asking the students about general residential properties, their understanding of diagrams and the curriculum, and the effectiveness of teaching methods. The results are presented as follows:

1. As a result of analysing the four authorized textbooks, it was discovered that the contents of all of them were almost the same because they were based on given authorization standards. In particular, methods were used to help students understand the content easily but from the point of view on practice were insufficient as most of the books focused on content arrangement.

2. The curriculum of Middle School Technology and Home Economics 3 dealt with food, housing, industry, electric and electronic technology, and of them, the housing unit was divided into space understanding(urban planning), the environment, equipment and maintenance (construction). However, they did not consider future housing for an ageing society with few children, housing for community living and cultural spaces, and 21st century housing types such as traditional and eco-friendly housing.

3. For the residential characteristics of the subjects, most of them use separate houses and rooms and the satisfaction of those who live in separate houses was the highest. Many of them responded that they had never thought about the where they would live in the future. They knew about the characteristics of the different types of houses, but their understanding on how housing relates to modern society such as what housing types enhance good relations between neighbors or the roles of housing with respect to social views was insufficient.

4. Students understanding of terms such as planes of housing was high, but that of characteristics or the efficient use of them was relatively low. For teaching methods, teaching focused on the theories presented in textbooks and visual materials were often used. However, as practice enhanced student interest in subjects and their creativity as well as improving learning effects, effective teaching methods as well as a practice-oriented educational environment should be carefully considered in the future.
