The purpose of this study was to develop a teaching-learning plan for the 'housing culture' section, focused on the socio-economic housing values by applying the 'Theory of Values Clarification'. Subsequently, it was to apply such plan to the first grade students in high school so as to identify their housing values and degree of clarification thereof. Ultimately, it was to examine the learning effect based on the analysis of the changes in housing values and housing value clarification. To achieve such goals, the research was processed by analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation in this order, based on the ADDIE teaching system design model. First, in the analysis process, a correlation between housing culture and housing value was defined and the housing values implied in the modern housing culture were analyzed accordingly. Second, in the design process, the analyzed housing values were classified into four 'core housing values' based on the socio-economic housing values consisting the majority of the analyzed housing values. In addition, four classes were designed with a theme for teaching-learning, content components, study goal, and strategy for value clarification. The subjects of this study were selected by a random sampling among 9 classes of the first grade students in D high school located in Changwon-si in Gyeongnam. They were divided into an experiment group of 138 students composing 2 male classes and 2 female classes, and a control group of 178 students composing 2 male classes and 3 female classes. Next, in the development process, developed were 4 teaching-learning plans, 46 study materials including video, picture, reading material, workbook, and power point material, and pre- and post-tests. The pre-test was composed of 14 items on housing conditions, and 16 items on housing value and housing value clarification. The post-test was composed of 16 items on housing value and housing value clarification for both groups, and 21 items on class evaluation for the experiment group only. In the implementation process, the pre-test was conducted with both groups in the first class during the technology and home economics class and the experiment was made with the experiment group in the fourth class. Subsequently the post-test was conducted respectively with the experiment group in their fourth class and the control group around the same time. Next, in the evaluation process, housing conditions, housing values, housing value clarification, the difference between the groups thereof, and the difference in housing value clarification depending on the housing values were examined in the pre-test. In the post-test, examined were the difference in the housing values and housing value clarification before and after the experiment, the change in the housing value clarification depending on the change in the housing values, and finally the evaluation on the class.
The housing conditions, housing values and housing value clarification of the experiment and control groups were mostly identical before conducting the experiment class. There were 1 to 3 statistically significant differences of the housing values in each item among 9 housing conditions items, hence suggesting the possibility of the correlation between the housing conditions and housing values. The housing values of the students were highly articulate considering the high pre-test average of the housing value clarification. As a result of examining the difference of the housing value clarification depending on the housing values, the students who selected the housing value attributes shared by the majority of the study participants had a higher housing value clarification. After the experiment class, no significant change was found in the housing values of the experiment group in that the mere 4 classes of the experiment did not affect the housing values of the students who already had a high housing value clarification. The housing value clarification increased after conducting the experiment class in all cases where the significant difference existed in the housing value clarification of the experiment group students. There were 2 items of which the housing value clarification was significantly low before the experiment class. Consequently, it can be inferred that the teaching-learning plan applied in this study enabled the students to contemplate on the housing value that had not been a subject of their consideration. Mostly no change was found in the housing value clarification if there was no change in the housing values, whereas a change was made in the housing value clarification if the housing values were changed. Regarding the evaluation, they found the study theme refreshing and they were able to express their thoughts by exchanging them with friends. Moreover they became contemplative on housing and understood the current housing conditions of Korea better. Many of them expressed that the social phenomena related with housing require more attention. The evaluation of the classes was positive in general and especially the female students evaluated the experiment more positively than their male counterpart did.
The significance of this study lies in providing a foundational material for future researches on 'teaching-learning to cultivate a desirable housing value' which has been emphasized in the home economics curriculum. Accordingly, many further studies should be made on teaching-learning related with diverse housing values.
