고등학생 대상 예비부모교육의 현황과 내실화 방안

Abstract

This study investigates the current status of pre-parent education for high-school students. By examining challenges, improvements and the need for pre-parent education, this study aims to provide schemes on how to improve and promote pre-parent education for high-school students. The research participants were high-school students, university students and teachers. The questionnaire survey on the status of parent education for high- school students indicates that parent education often occurs within the regular school curriculum rather than the extracurricular. Pre-parent education is done by lecturing and audio-visual materials in Technology and Home Economics course, primarily targeting the first grade high-school students. The participant teachers highlighted the challenges in teaching, which are lack of audio-visual materials and educational resources, of practice based teaching and insufficient textbook content. The survey results indicate that pre-parent education should aim for prospective parents to induce an individual's personal maturity, ultimately providing character education. In conclusion, the study suggests that pre-parent education should not limited to Technology and Home Economics course, but is recommended for its comprehensive potential in integrating with other subjects.
