The features of this program were as follows. First, although housing choice behavior is not covered in middle-school home economics, the 2015 revised national curriculum and current middle-school textbooks were analyzed and developed in consideration of the level available in schools. Second, it was possible to develop a housing value orientation that encompasses various housing values, including activities used to consider such values as the basis for housing choice behavior by each sessions. Third, the program was meaningful in that it developed practical problem-solving and living independence skills through learning activities, including available sites, experience cases, and housing welfare that cannot be experienced directly or indirectly.

Results revealed that most of the textbooks' unit arrangements consisted of the introduction, development, and summary. In addition, we examined the advantages of current textbooks and suggested future improvement directions. The analysis of volume revealed that the largest textbook was 38 pages and the smallest was 24 pages. In addition, the learning objectives by unit a little bit differed for each textbook. The illustrations in the textbooks were primarily figures followed by photographs, tables, and graphs. The number of textbooks with the largest amount of illustrations was 69 and those with the least were 38, indicating a significant difference. As for career, 8 textbooks of 12 textbooks reflected related contents. The number of units, volumes of the clothing life section, and ratio of illustrations used in each textbook were different, but the contents were similar. Most of the contents of the 2009 textbooks are mostly included and the meaning of clothing, clothing purchasing, dress code, and creative clothing life are added on 2015 revised textbooks.

The recommended dietary allowance(RDA) and food guide are the basic and the most important concepts for practical application of food and nutrition to the dietary life. For the textbook contents analysis on RDA and food guide, 10 kinds of Technology and Home Economics middle school textbooks were examined. And a total of 283 students from 2 middle schools in Kyungkido were recruited for the analysis of students' understanding on RDA and food guide. The results o( this study were as follows. First, students were aware of food, nutrition and diet section in the middle school textbook as interesting, valuable. and easy to understand. Second, the explanation on RDA, which is the intake level of nutrients adequate to meet the needs of practically all healthy people, were not clear and enough in almost all the middle school textbooks examined. The definition of food guide was not firmly established in anywhere including the middle school Technology and Home Economics textbooks examined. Third, about 2/3 of students did not know the difference between RDA and physiological requirement. And $1/3\~2/3$ students did not know which food belongs to which food group, less than 1/3 students gave correct answer on food amount contained in single serving size, except bread, noodle and fish. As result, the RDA and food guide concepts were not throughly explained in middle school textbooks. which resulted in misconception to many students. Thus, accurate and detailed explanation on RDA and food guide should be included in the middle school Technology and Home Economics textbooks, so that to help application to healthy eating in the future daily dietary life.

We developed the novel coursework of 'NIE community activity teaching-learning plan' in the unit of 'Clothing Life' of the 7th 'Technology-Home Economics' curriculum and applied it to classes in the middle school. The educational themes of 'Textile and Cloth', 'Purchase, Usage and Storage of Clothes', 'Laundry of Clothes', Recycling and Disposal of Clothes' were extracted from ten kinds of textbooks. And eight lessons of NIE community activity teaching-learning plan were developed. Ninety-seven students at second grade in 3 classes of the middle school were randomly enrolled in this study. After learning, their environmental recognition and educational interest and attitude on the class of NIE community activity were investigated. The general environmental recognition of most students was improved via NIE community activity, which is emphasizing on the analysis of articles of newspapers, the critical and creative thinking, and the mutual discussion. The environmental recognition related to 'Textile and Cloth', 'Purchase, Usage and Storage of Clothes', 'Laundry of Clothes', Recycling and Disposal of Clothes' was significantly improved. Educational interest and attitude on the class of NIE community activity were also improved of great significance. The novel contents and methods of NIE community activity were evaluated to help students understand the class better and enhance their environmental recognition higher. With these results, NIE community activity teaching-learning plan might not only improve the educational interest and attitude, but also enhance the environmental recognition of the students.
