This study explored the organization of high school Home Economics (HE) selective curriculum for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We critically review the change process of HE curriculum as well as problems based on the understanding of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The results were as follows. First, regarding the characteristic consistently shown in the revision process of high school curriculum, the huge increase of the number of subject organized resulted from the intensification of the selective-centered curriculum strengthening the choice for school and students. However, HE was reduced to some 'Technology-Home Economics' subject and a single subject 'HE Science' as a selective subject was subsequently combined with Technology after the $7^{th}$ curriculum period. Consequently, HE hard to organize the career-focused curriculum, emphasized by the revised 2015 curriculum due to the insufficient number of subjects. Second, the choice of HE in high school curriculum should be expanded as measures to organize the HE curriculum of high school to cope with changes that result from the Fourth Industrial Revolution. For the operation of the career-focused curriculum, career selective subjects and specialized subjects should be more diversely established. In accordance with changes in a future society that results from the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the HE education community should be prepared in advance to be organized as a selective subject when revising a subsequent curriculum, by newly establishing subjects necessary to students through collective intelligence and deliberation with pedagogists and scholars for subject content as well as by producing/getting approval from government-recognized textbooks.

This paper aims to explore the role of the home economics subject in helping high school students preparing for an independent aged life and to develop problem based teaching plans toward this goal. Contents related to the elderly in the high school home economics and technology 2007 and 2009 revised curricula were analyzed, and elderly-related contents in other subject areas (the 2009 revised curricula of ethics, public health, and social studies) were also comparatively analyzed to determine the identity of the home economics subject in relation to preparation for independent aging. Based on these analysis, five subjects and teaching plans were presented: the aging society and population changes, the characteristics of the elderly, individual preparation for aging, care of the elderly, and welfare services for the elderly. The ultimate objectives of the lessons were, through critical reasoning, to inquire into the causes of current problems the elderly face so that teenagers can understand aging societies and the elderly and to seek reasonable alternatives for teenagers as they prepare for successful and independent aging, increasing their problem-solving abilities in choosing the best course of action by considering the ripple effect of consequences of each of those alternatives. Suggestions on what direction elderly-related education should take in the future, and what roles teachers should take are also provided.

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.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether uniform reforming behavior in high school girls is related to body image distortion, and to obtain objective data to help in guiding students in the wearing of uniforms at school. 661 freshmen and junior girls at six high schools in Kwangju city responded to questionnaires. The data was analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Pearson’s product-moment correlations using the SPSS 12.0 program. According to their body satisfaction level, three groups (haggard distortion, normal, overweight distortion) were identified. The data showed that a few high school girls were unable to recognize their body types correctly. It also indicated that school uniform reforming behaviors in high school girls were not related to their body image or body satisfaction level. So, it seems that students need guidance in the building up of an objective body image and wearing uniforms to fit their body types.
