This study revealed that the HE teachers reflectively introspected the pedagogical content knowledge in Home Economics Education(H-PCK) as follows: First, as for knowledge of perspective on Home Economics Education(HEE), the research participants encouraged students to solve practical problems regarding the objective of HEE. They tried to foster the students' critical thinking ability related to the daily life. They made eager efforts to achieve the mission of HEE as a practical science. Second, as for knowledge of HE curriculum, the research participants mentioned that there was lack of systematic approach concerned with curriculum development. While reorganizing, they always paid attention to its relation to the students' daily lives, to the relationship between the curriculum contents and the social context. Third, as for knowledge of teaching strategies on practical problem-based instruction, the research participants developed the practical problem-based instruction skills.

사회의 가장 기초적인 단위인 가족은 핵가족에서부터 시작된다. Hill(1957)에 의하면 가족에 대한 연구는 일곱가지 면으로 나누어 연구되어 질수 있으며 그 중 하나인 구조적- 기능적 면을 중심으로 한국가족을 이론적으로 분석해 보려는데 본 연구의 목적이 있다. 가족에 대한 구조적 기능적인 면의 분석은 사회학에서 중심적인 연구분야이다. 사회가 변화, 발전함에 따라 가족의 구조와 그 고유한 기능도 변화되어 간다. 사회학적으로 사망, 이혼, 별거, 결혼, 출산에 의해 가족의 구조와 그 기능은 변화되어간다. 한국가족의 구조는 부계직계 확대가족에서 점차 핵가족으로 변화되고 있으며 그 기능도 따라서 변화되어 가고 있다.
