Abstract

This study aimed at analyzing the educational needs of home economics teachers for food literacy cultivation education in secondary school home economics. A total of 192 home economics teachers were surveyed about their perceptions of importance and performance of food literacy education content categories and elements, and their priorities were identified. Among the 38 content elements presented, home economics teachers recognized that the current performance level was significantly lower than that of the importance over 34 content elements. Based on the Borich educational needs assessment and the Locus for Focus Model, we identified five content elements with 'very high' educational needs ('food security/food sovereignty', 'reducing food-related waste', 'food waste management and recycling', 'food-related waste recycling', and 'country of origin information'), and four content elements with 'high' educational needs ('genetically modified food', 'ethical food consumption', 'food additives', and 'eco-friendly agricultural products'). These results indicate that dietary education in secondary school home economics should emphasize both the production and disposal of food. The findings of this study suggest implications for the needs for a new dietary education in secondary school home economics that allows students to learn all stages of food system. These results can also be used as a basis for dietary education for cultivating food literacy in secondary school home economics education.

본 연구는 가정과 교사의 푸드리터러시 함양을 위한 식생활교육 요구도 분석하여 푸드리터러시 함양을 위한 중등 가정과 식생활교육의 발전 방향을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 192명의 가정과 교사를 대상으로 푸드리터러시 교육의 내용 영역과 내용 요소에 대한 중요도와 현재 실행도에 대한 인식을 조사하고, 교육 요구도 조사 결과를 기반으로 푸드리터러시 교육을 위한 내용 영역과 내용 요소의 우선순위를 파악하였다. 가정과 교사는 제시된 38개 내용 요소 중 34개 내용 요소에 대하여 중요도에 비하여 현재 실행도를 유의적으로 낮게 인식하고 있었다. Borich의 교육 요구도 공식과 The Locus for Focus Model을 활용하여 교육 요구도가 '매우 높은' 5가지 내용 요소('식량 주권/식량 안보', '식품 관련 쓰레기 저감화', '음식물쓰레기 처리와 재활용', '식품 관련 쓰레기와 분리수거', '원산지 정보')를 도출하였으며, 다음으로 요구도가 '높은' 4가지 내용 요소('유전자 변형 식품', '윤리적 소비', '식품 첨가물', '친환경 농산물')를 확인하였다. 요구도가 매우 높은 것으로 나타난 내용 요소는 '생산' 영역과 '폐기' 영역에 해당하는 것으로 나타나 '생산'과 '폐기' 영역에 대한 교육 요구도 역시 높음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 향후 가정과 푸드리터러시 함양을 위한 식생활교육을 위해 식품의 생산과 폐기를 강조하여 다루는 것이 필요하며, 이 외에도 푸드리터러시 함양을 위한 가정과 식생활교육의 세부 내용 및 콘텐츠 개발을 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구의 결과는 영양 및 식품에 대한 지식 습득과 개인 차원의 식품 소비 단계를 중심으로 구성된 기존의 식생활교육의 패러다임에서 벗어나 학생들이 식품의 생산에서부터 폐기까지의 전 과정을 학습할 수 있는 새로운 가정과 식생활교육의 필요성에 대한 시사점을 제안할 수 있다. 또한 중등 가정과 푸드리터러시 함양을 위한 식생활교육의 기초 연구로 활용되기를 기대한다.
