家庭管理의 認知的 領域 啓發을 위한 基礎 硏究 = On Developing the Cognitive Domain in Home Management

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purposes of this article are to emphasize definite cognitive domain in relation to managerial situation-utilizing family resources, decision-making and management process-and to show that cognitive domain (high cognitive) plays a more important role in developing and cultivating the managerial ability than technical domain (low cognitive).
From the above conceptual framework, the questionaire was developed and used. The sample consists of 60 female students in Jeju National University. Half of them (Group A) major in Home Economics, while the other half (Group B) do not. Each student was asked to answer thirty questions-four on decision-making, six on planning, four on organization, eleven on implementation and five on evaluation-through self-evaluation in three degrees, i.e., low (one point), average (two) and high (three), To verify differences in attitudes of the two groups t-test method was adopted.
The results acquired are as fellows.
1. Group B have considered themselves more competent in ability to make timely decision (p<.05) and to collect information (p<.01) and leadership (p<.001) than Group A in each level of significance.
2. Group A have considered themselves more competent in ability to accept problems (p<.05), to visualize a plan (p<.05), to give directions (p<.05) and to apply the pre-evaluated results (p<.05).
3. Both groups have regarded their ability to make well conceived and complete plans and to devise alternative use of available resources beyond average.
4. Means of scores on 17 out of 30 items was higher in Group A than in Group B, No difference was revealed in six items.
The above results show that Group A are more familiar with cognitive domain, thus are expected to have the potential to meet with problems with creativity in homemaking but lack implementing ability, while Group B, unaware of the principle of home management, are decisive and capable of practical implementation but prone to feel bored in home affairs.
An implication follows from the above. Cultivation of personal traits such as decisiveness, positivity and leadership is recommended for Group A to further develop managerial ability, while for Group B introduction and motivation to the managerial knowledge and, in particular, cognitive domain in home management is expected to produce a better life than otherwise.
