At a time when the direction of the middle and high school curriculum is being discussed in line with the change in the future education paradigm to the 4th industrial revolution and the post-COVID-19 era, this study attempted to establish the identity of middle and high school clothing life education by exploring the clothing life contents with content analysis method and analyzing the 'clothing life industry' related educational content of the curriculum revision period. Following the revision of the curriculum, the contents related to the middle and high school 'clothing life industry' were not systematic. In the 2022 revised curriculum, the 'clothing life industry' and the digital fashion industry are presented as content related to the 'clothing life industry', so it is expected that the textbooks implemented in the educational field in the future will mention specific content about this. In addition, research on the direction of sustainable clothing life is also needed because the 'clothing life industry' can be an important cause of environmental pollution from production to consumption. Above all, it is expected that follow-up studies will be conducted to enhance the value of clothing life education in the future in the reality that the awareness of middle and high school clothing life education is low.

The growth of cheap, industrial, mass-production-so-called "fast fashion"-has led to dramatic increases in levels of consumption. Inexpensive products tend to foster unsustainable consumption behaviors, which negatively impact the environment and increase pressure to obtain goods at lower and lower prices; this, in turn, has the competitive effect of decreasing wages. This study focused on the concept of socially responsible consciousness in relation to fashion products. Environmental and labor issue concerns were employed as major variables. Empirical data were collected from males and females, between the ages of 10 and 50. Demographic differences were found in SR consciousness. For example, participants in their 10s, 40s, and 50s had higher levels of SR consciousness than those in their 20s and 30s. In addition, consumers' levels of environmental and labor issue concerns had varying effects on the criteria they used to select clothing. Product category type was also an influential factor. Moreover, the analysis showed that SR consciousness was less important in the apparel industry than in the food sector. The study also found an attitude-behavior link in relation to the concept of SR consciousness. The link was stronger for environmental concerns than for labor issue concerns. This study aimed to develop a better understanding of current customers' characteristics and levels of SR consciousness.

본 연구는 청소년기 학생들의 소비행동을 분석하여 교육의 기초자료로 활용하고자 여학생들의 쇼핑성향에 따른 하위요인을 도출하고 이 하위요인에 따른 쇼핑유형을 분류하였다. 이 쇼핑유형의 집단에 따른 청소년 여학생의 의류제품의 윤리적 소비행동 즉 구매, 사용, 처분행동의 차이를 알아보았고, 쇼핑성향의 하위요인이 의류제품의 윤리적 구매, 사용, 처분행동에는 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 그 결과 청소년기의 여학생 의류제품의 윤리적 구매, 사용, 처분행동의 경향이 보통보다 낮아 교육이 필요함이 시사되었다. 그리고 쇼핑성향의 하위요인인 충성적 성향, 향유적 성향, 충동적 성향, 모방적 성향, 독립적 성향에 따라 즐거움추구 유형, 중간 유형, 독립추구 유형의 세 쇼핑유형으로 분류되었다. 즐거움추구 쇼핑유형은 상대적으로 의류제품의 윤리적 사용행동을 가장 많이 하였고, 독립추구 쇼핑유형은 윤리적 구매행동과 윤리적 처분행동을 더 많이 하였다. 쇼핑자체를 즐기는 욕구만족의 성향이 낮을수록 혼자서 의사결정을 신중하게 했다고 생각하는 경향이 높을수록, 그리고 구매상표와 점포에 대한 신뢰가 강한 능동적인 성향이 높을수록 의류제품의 윤리적 구매행동을 더 많이 하였다. 반면 욕구만족의 성향과 독립적인 성향을 모두 가진 경우 윤리적 사용행동은 더 많이 하였다. 그리고 혼자서 구매의사결정을 하는 독립적 성향만 높을수록 윤리적 처분행동은 높아졌다. 소비단계와 쇼핑성향에 적합한 세분화된 소비자교육이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
