Technology and Home Economics are associated with gender-related roles. In this respect, students' attitude toward these subjects may be influenced by gender equity awareness with attitudes that may perpetuate gender-biased images of subjects. This study examined the influence of gender equity awareness of middle school students on attitudes toward Technology and Home Economics. Data were collected through a survey to 442 students from eight purposively sampled middle schools in Seoul. Three gender equity awareness groups were identified through a cluster analysis: Equity in house work group (n=163), Traditional gender role group (n=102), and Equity in all areas group (n=152). The analyses of variances enabled an examination of the effects of gender and gender equity awareness. Differences were found among gender and gender equity awareness groups on attitudes toward Home Economics, but not toward Technology. Girls showed higher preference, higher perceived usefulness than boys, but with a lower importance for career preparation for Home Economics. Traditional gender role group scored the lowest on usefulness and importance for everyday life, yet highest on importance for career preparation. Equity in all areas group perceived lowest importance of Home Economics for career preparation. The results show that Home Economics is more strongly gender-typed than Technology, and that effort is needed to change the gender-biased image of the subject.

This study was conducted using self administered questionnaires on general environmental factors, perceptions, and utilization of the $\ulcorner$Food and Nutrition$\lrcorner$ area. The subjects were 807 middle school students of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades in Gyeonggi province. Most of the students positively recognized the necessity for the $\ulcorner$Food and Nutrition$\lrcorner$ area in Technology Home economics. However, changes in the interest in $\ulcorner$Food and Nutrition$\lrcorner$ after a lesson were not significant. The utilization of the lesson appeared highest in cases where the teachers' instructing methods went abreast with teaching focused on practice or teaching based on practice and theory and if teachers used various teaching materials. These results suggested that teachers should make efforts to raise the students' interest for the lesson in Technology Home economics. Therefore, the contents of the lesson should complement the learners' demands such that they are useful in real life situations. Also, more positive teaching methods and various media which could satisfy the needs and interests of the students should be developed.

대안학교 중 정규학교 형태의 특성화 중학교를 대상으로 가정교과의 편성 및 운영 실태를 조사하고, 가정수업에 대한 담당 교사와 학생의 인식을 분석하였다. 6개 특성화 중학교의 교사와 면접을 실시하였고 그 중 3개 학교 학생을 대상으로 설문을 실시하여 205부의 응답지가 분석에 사용되었다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 특성화 중학교의 기술 가정교과 교육은 대부분 국민공통기본교과인 기술 가정 교육과정 형태로 운영되나, 학교의 이념이나 특성에 맞게 상이하게 운영하는 학교도 있었다. 시수는 제7차 교육과정의 편성과 비교해 4개 학교에서 주당 1시간 적게 편성되고 있었다. 또한 각 학교별로 가정교과와 관련된 특성화 교과가 다양하게 운영되고 있었다. 둘째, 특성화 중학교의 가정교과 운영 실태를 보면, 가정교과는 가정(부)전공 교사가 대부분 운영하고 있었으며, 자체 제작교재를 쓰는 한 학교를 제외하고는 모든 학교가 검정 교과서를 주 교재로 사용하였다. 교수학습 방법 및 교수매체는 다양한 방법을 활용하고 있었으며, 평가는 대부분의 학교가 지필평가와 수행평가를 고루 반영하고 있었다. 셋째, 가정교과에 대한 교사의 인식 중 가정교과 교육의 의의는 가정의 행복 추구였으며, 목표는 가정의 행복을 실현, 세상을 보는 안목을 길러주는 것에 있었다. 교과 운영의 어려운 점으로는 열악한 실습실 여건을, 일반학교와의 차이점은 학생과의 의사소통이 활발한 점을 들었다. 넷째, 학생들은 기술 가정교과의 목표를 보통이하로 인식하였고, 가정수업에 대해서도 대부분 부정적이었다. 학생들의 가정수업에 대한 인식은 학교에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였는데 수업시수가 많고, 특성화 교과가 운영되는 경우 긍정적으로 인식하였다. 또한 학교만족도가 높고 가정(부)전공 교사에게 배운 학생들이 보다 긍정적으로 인식하였다. 이상에서 특성화 중학교의 가정교과 교육은 대부분 제7차 교육과정에 준해 운영되나 시수편성이 일반학교보다 적어 기초적인 교육내용의 이론위주의 가정수업이 될 수 있으므로 시수의 증편이 필요할 것이다. 또한 체험을 할 수 있는 특성화 교과 운영은 가정수업에 대한 학생의 인식을 긍정적으로 변화시키는데 중요한 역할을 할 것이다. 교사의 교과전문성에 따라 인식에 유의한 차이를 보인 결과는 교사 역할의 중요성을 나타내는 것으로 수업 전반에 걸친 담당교사의 지속적인 노력과 특성화 중학교의 가정전공 상근 교사의 필요성을 시사하였다.
