Comparative Study on Historical Changes of Practical Arts Education and Technology-Home Economics Education in Korea and Japan This dissertation is a comparative study on Practical Arts(Home Economics) Education and Technology-Home Economics Education of Korea and Japan. I established two research objectives to conduct the research : To understand the differences in historical changes in Practical Arts Education and Technology-Home Economics of the two countries: And to grope for the new direction of Home Economics Education. Research findings are as follows : Japan was also ahead of Korea for about two decades in terms of putting Home Economics Education in practice at elementary schools. Practical Arts Education Started to emerge in Elementary school system in 1955, which had been originated in vocational education before the year 1945 in Korean However, from the 3th curriculum Practical Arts Education Curriculum put emphasis on home lives. Regarding the characteristics of education from the perspectives of historical changes at Korean Junior-high schools after the year 1945. Home Economics Education had been regarded as “female subject”until the 1980s and was integrated into regular curricula for co-education in the middle of the 1990s. when the 6th Curriculum was activated. Technology-Home Economics started to emerge in Japan in 1962. while the subject Home Economics Education was integrated into curricula for males in high school as well in 1989. In the Korean 7th Curriculum, the combined subject Technology-Home Economics is divided into three categories. A remarkable difference from japanese Technology-Home Economics is that korean curriculum has no division between required and elective. In conclusion. I observe that both Korean and Japanese curricula for Home Economics Education were originated in Confucianism. However, unlike Korean situation, current Japanese Home Economics Education takes a significant part as a continuing and required subject for both primary and secondary co-education.

The findings of the study were as follows: First, we have three textbooks which are technology & home economics 1, technology & home economics 2, technology & home economics 3 for each grade of middle school student, but one technology textbook and one home economics textbook may be better for middle school student to reduce the learning content following revised curriculum. Second, as an aspect of learning content between technology textbook and computer textbook, the computer and information volume is too much overlapped, which is also the same result at the survey research report of KICE. Therefore, the computer content of technology & home economics textbooks must be considered to reduce according to follow research.

이 연구의 목적은 한국과 일본의 중등 가정 교육과정의 성격, 목표 내용, 교수 학습방법, 평가/내용취급에 명시된 녹색생활 교육내용의 관점을 비교 분석하는데 있다. 한국의 2007 개정 교육과정의 중학교 기술 가정, 고등학교 기술 가정, 가정과학과 일본의 2008 고시 중학교 기술 가정, 2009 고시 고등학교 가정기초 가정총합, 생활디자인의 교육과정을 분석하였다. 한국과 일본의 가정 교육과정 분석결과, 양국 교육과정의 '성격', '목표', '내용', '교수 학습 밥법, 평가/내용취급' 요소에 모두 녹색 생활 교육의 다양한 측면이 포함되어 있었다. 양국 모두 교육과정의 '내용' 요소에 녹색생활 교육 측면이 가장 많이 구체적으로 반영된 반면 '성격'과 '목표' 요소에는 반영 정도도 낮고 추상적이고 포괄적인 방법으로 반영되어 있다. 양국 교육과정 전반에 나타난 가정교과에서의 녹색생활 교육은 이론적 측면보다는 가정생활 전반에 걸쳐 실천적이고 체험적 측면을 강조하고 있었다. 녹색생활 교육 요소가 적고 편중된 내용영역은 차기 교육과정 및 교과서를 개발할 때 관련 내용의 보완이 요구되며, 핵심 내용요소는 사실적 지식 제시를 넘어서 환경과의 관련성에서 구성해야 할 것이다.
