The incidence of vivax malaria in Korea was reduced to a low plateau. For successful elimination of vivax malaria, socio-behavioral changes in the communities are essential. This study aimed to figure out awareness of the inhabitants on the vivax malaria endemicity. The 407 participants including vivax malaria patients and uninfected inhabitants in Gimpo- and Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, known as high-risk areas in Korea. We used a community-based study design and non-probability sampling method using primary data. Except for the perception about the public health facilities' capability to cope with anti-malaria programs, the 2 groups of participants shared the same level of awareness about public promotional and educational measures and opinions for malaria elimination from the community. Thus, our future goals for malaria prevention and elimination are to develop more active and well-organized community-based education and evaluation programs collaborating with the community healthcare authorities and local governments.

본 연구는 중학교 2학년 기술 가정 교과 '의복 마련과 관리' 단원에서 환경교육 학습 주제를 선정하고, NIE 탐구 공동체 교수 학습 과정안 및 학습자료를 개발하여 수업에 적용하는 것을 목적으로 하며, 환경의식함양을 위한 수업개선을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구방법으로 2007년 개정 기술 가정과 교육과정과 제 7차 교육과정 중학교 2학년 기술 가정 교과서 10종의 의생활 단원을 분석하여 환경교육과 관련된 내용요소를 추출하여 '의복의 소재', '의복 구입과 사용 및 보관', '의복의 세탁', '의복의 재활용과 폐기' 학습 주제를 선정하고, 총 8차시 분량의 NIE 탐구공동체 활동 교수 학습 과정안을 개발하였다. 부산광역시 소재의 E중학교 2학년 3개 학급 학생 97명을 대상으로 수업한 후 환경의식과 NIE 탐구공동체 수업에 대한 흥미도, 태도를 살펴보았다. 연구결과 중학생들은 다양한 신문 자료를 모으고 분석하여 비판적, 창의적, 배려적 사고를 강조하는 토론 위주의 탐구공동체 활동을 통해, 일반적 환경인식은 전체적으로 향상되었다. 학습주제 '의복의 소재', '의복의 구입 과 사용 및 보관' '의복의 세탁', '의복의 재활용과 폐기'와 관련된 환경의식도 유의미하게 높았다. NIE 탐구공동체 활동(신문토론 수업)에 대한 흥미도 및 태도도 매우 높게 향상되었다. NIE 탐구공동체 활동에 대한 학생의 평가는 그동안 접해보지 않는 새로운 내용구성과 NIE 탐구공동체 활동 학습방법이 교과서 중심의 강의식 수업보다 더 재미있어 학습 내용을 이해하고 환경의식을 함양하는 데 도움이 되었다 하였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 NIE 탐구공동체 활동 교수 학습 과정안은 학습의 흥미도와 태도를 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 의생활 환경의식 함양에도 매우 효과가 있으므로 개발된 교수 학습과정안과 학습 자료는 교육현장에서 활용되기를 기대한다.
