이 연구의 목적은 '윤리적 소비'를 실천하는 사람을 기르기 위한 가정교과 소비생활 영역의 교육과정을 제안하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 먼저 윤리적 소비의 개념에 대한 학문적 고찰을 통해 윤리적 소비의 개념을 정립하였다. 윤리적 소비란, 인간의 삶을 행복하게 변화시키기 위해 개인적·사회적 책임을 다한 소비의 실천행위를 말한다. 이어서 본 연구에서는 가정교과 교육과정에서의 소비생활 영역이 어떻게 교육되어져 왔는가에 대해 살펴보고, 현행 가정교과 교과서에 제시된 윤리적 소비의 내용을 비판적으로 검토함으로써 앞으로 가정교과 소비생활 영역의 윤리적 소비 내용을 어떻게 가르칠 것인가에 대해 제안하였다. 첫째, 가정과 교육과정에서는 1차 교육과정부터 소비생활 영역의 내용이 제시되어 점진적으로 소비문화의 개념으로 질적 변화가 이루어져왔지만 책임 있는 소비와 윤리적 소비가 교육과정상에 제대로 반영되지 않고 있다. 둘째, 2015 개정 중학교 기술·가정과 교과서에서는 윤리적 소비에 대한 명확한 용어의 정의가 부족하고 개괄적인 내용만을 본문에 제시하고 있어 윤리적 소비에 대한 구체적인 실천방법을 제시하는 것이 필요하다. 셋째, 윤리적 소비실천을 위한 가정교과 교육과정의 방향은 책임이고 교육과정의 목표는 윤리적 소비실천을 위한 사회적 책임의식을 기르는 것이다. 윤리적 소비실천을 위한 가정교과 교육과정의 내용에는 소비와 소비생활, 지속가능한 소비, 윤리적 소비가 포함되어야 한다.

Objectives : Consumption is a chronic wasting disease, in oriental medicine concept. Fatigue is a common symptom experienced by many people who have consumption. However, there has been little study about the relationship between consumption and fatigue in the Oriental medicine. For this reason, we attempted to investigate the present status of fatigue of outpatients, and its relation with consumption index, public health practice index, Chalder fatigue scale and Subjective Symptoms of Fatigue Test. Methods : The subjects were 149 outpatients who complain fatigue between Nov. 1, 2006 and Oct. 31, 2007. We measured degree of consumption by consumption index. We measured degree of fatigue by Chalder fatigue scale and Subjective Symptoms of Fatigue Test. Public health practice were investigated by "Breslow's 7 health practice". Results : Studies have shown that a group who disregard public health practices have higher numerical value, in part of $q\grave{i}-x\bar{u}$, $xu\grave{e}-x\bar{u}$, and Physical symptoms than a group more concerned with public health practice. A group who has fatigue for a period over 6 months are more likely to be $q\grave{i}-x\bar{u}$, $y\bar{i}n-x\bar{u}$, Chalder fatigue scale, neuro-sensory symptoms than a group fatigued for less than 6 months. Among the subjects, 81 (55.5%) were considered as 'fatigue patients' by the Chalder scale. Chalder fatigue scale, according to the Subjective Symptoms of Fatigue Test, consumption also, The more increase of Subjective symptoms of fatigue test, the more of consumption scale. Conclusions : This study has shown that there is a link between consumption and fatigue. Moreover, oriental medicine's consumption is more concrete than fatigue scale, so consumption index will have wide application to the study of fatigue.

The purpose of this research is to investigate changes in ethical consumption practices after taking an undergraduate course 'Consumption and Ethics'. Through Qualitative & Quantitative research methods, students' pre-course and post-course attitudes were compared to understand changes in behavior. Before taking the course 'Consumption and Ethics', undergraduate participants displayed little regard for ethical consumption, instead displaying primary sensitivity to price and values based on self-centered and conspicuous consumption. After taking the course 'Consumption and Ethics', participants displayed a more altruistic awareness of consumption on society and the environment. In addition, participants displayed a stronger sense of pride as ethical consumer. These emerging values were contrasted with conflicting feelings resulting from the higher prices often associated with ethical products, feelings of regret resulting from ethically-based impulse purchases, and an inability to categorically evaluate the reliability of available information on the ethical products. However, participants demonstrated a willingness to practice ethical consumption and recommend ethical consumption to their friends and neighbors. Overall, participants in the study demonstrated a strong shift to be an ethical consumer as a result of taking the course 'Consumption and Ethics'.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare student consumption of school meals by school level, to identify the influencing factors of school meal consumption, and to assess improvement needs of school food service among students. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 1,441 elementary, middle, and high school students attending 58 schools in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea participated in the survey in 2015. A questionnaire and informed consent forms for students and legal guardians were sent home and completed responses were returned to the researcher. RESULTS: Approximately 58% of the students perceived the portion sizes of school meals as appropriate and 76.1% consumed almost all or all of the meals served. More elementary and middle school students than high school students consumed almost all or all of the meals (P < 0.001). A regression analysis revealed that the students with a higher dietary behavior score (P < 0.001), higher satisfaction with food service (P < 0.001), a higher environmental protection practice score (P < 0.05), and more positive attitudes toward school meals (P < 0.01) consumed significantly more meals. The provision of foods that taste good and reflecting student opinions on menus were the most important factors for increasing school meal consumption. CONCLUSIONS: To increase consumption of school meals, food service staff should provide students with quality meals and engage students in school food service. Nutrition education that emphasizes healthy eating behaviors and cafeteria environment modification that applies strategies based on behavioral economics can encourage students to consume more school meals.
