Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the perception and understanding of Free Learning Semester (FLS) in home economics teachers and to provide basic informations for effective implement of FLS in future school curricula. Home economics teachers perceived that the objective of FLS was to help students explore their careers and make preliminary decisions. In addition, teachers thought that FLS should be run by active students' participation to find out their dreams and talents. However, teachers felt difficulties in obtaining information or documents related to implementing FLS. Moreover, there were lack of connected activities with local communities to operate FLS. Teachers recognized that it is necessary to receive FLS-related education. Regarding home economics teachers' role in FLS implement, they should provide career education with a perspective of lifelong career and nurture students' capability to lead their lives by themselves. In that sense, FLS should help students find out their dreams and talents, think about their career, set up lifelong career plan through home economics education, and nurture capability to lead their lives. In addition, home economics teachers should provide continuous career education in home economics education at academic semesters.

본 연구는 자유학기제가 전면 시행된 시점에 중학교 가정과 교사들의 자유학기제에 대한 인식과 이해 정도를 알아봄으로써 향후 자유학기제가 학교교육과정에서 효율적으로 운영될 수 있는 방안 및 가정과 교육이 나아가야할 방향을 탐색해보고자 실시하였다. 본 조사대상 중학교 가정과교사들은 자유학기제가 운영되는 목적으로 학생의 진로탐색 및 1차적 진로 의사결정이라고 인식하고 있었으며, 학생 참여 중심 수업방법을 핵심과제로 하여 꿈과 끼를 탐색하는 교육 방향으로 운영되어야 한다고 생각하고 있었다. 자유학기제의 도입취지나 목적에 대한 이해도도 높은 편이었다. 그러나 자유학기제를 운영하기 위한 자료나 정보를 취득하는 데 있어 어려움을 느끼는 것으로 조사되었으며 지역사회 기관과의 연계활동도 충분하지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 연구학교 교사들은 자유학기제 운영에 대한 준비가 필요하다는 것을 인식하고 있었으나, 일반학교 교사들의 경우 자유학기제 관련 교사연수의 경험이 부족한 것으로 조사되었다. 연수 경험이 없는 연구학교와 일반학교 교사 모두 자유학기제 관련 내용의 연수의 필요성을 느끼고 있었다. 자유학기제에 대한 가정과교사의 역할로는 생애설계적 관점에서 진로교육을 지도하고 학생들이 자신의 생애를 자기 주도적으로 이끌어 나갈 수 있는 역량을 길러주어야 하는 것으로 인식하고 있었다. 중학교 시기는 자아, 소질, 기회 등을 탐색하며 여러 가지 실질적인 경험을 통해 자신의 적성이 무엇인지 탐색해볼 수 있는 매우 중요한 시기이다. 따라서 자유학기를 통해 학생들이 자신의 꿈과 끼를 찾을 수 있고, 여러 가지 다양한 길에 대하여 생각해 볼 수 있도록, 앞으로 가정 교과를 통해 생애설계적인 진로계획을 수립하여 자기 주도적으로 인생을 이끌어 나갈 수 있는 역량을 길러주어야 할 것이다. 또한, 교사들은 자유학기가 한 학기의 이벤트성 운영으로 끝나지 않기 위해서 일반학기에도 교과를 통한 진로교육 수업으로 연계성을 이어나갈 수 있도록 하는 노력이 필요하다.
