초등의생활 논문의 연구 동향 분석: 1985년~2023년까지 게재된 국내 학술지를 중심으로 = Analysis of Research Trends on Elementary School Clothing and Life Theses: Focus on Research Articles Published between 1985 and 2023

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The In order to investigate research trends in elementary school clothing and life theses, this study selected 171 papers published from 1986 to 2023 in journals related to clothing & life education or clothing life contents among KCI registered journals or its candidate ones, and analyzed them by period, research area, and research area. Diving the analysis by research topic, research method, and author, I found the following results.
First of all, 144(84.2%) papers related to elementary school clothing & life education were published mostly at the Korean Journal of Practical Education or at the Journal of Practical Education Research, wherein a total of 24 papers(14.0%) were related to elementary school clothing & life content, with dominance in the field of education. Second, in terms of research area, 'teaching and learning methods and textbook research(33.9%) was the largest, followed by research on elementary school life content, educational content, curriculum and textbooks, educational awareness, complex areas and educational evaluation. Third, in research topic, 'overall clothing and lifestyle unit'(35.7%) was more popular than 'clothing selection and self-expression', clothing and environment, complex topic, clothing culture, Clothing design, clothing management. Fourth, in research method, literature research(30.4%) was equal to survey research, followed by Experimental researchand case study. Fifth, when it comes to the status of authors published in academic journals, many studies were authored by one author or two authors, while the co-authorship rate is as so low as 50.8% that collaborative research may need to be strengthened in the future for academic development. Sixth, comparing the research trends of elementary school cclothing & life education research and elementary school clothing & life content research, the number of papers published in the former (on education) was six times higher than the number of papers in the latter (on content), probably due to the recent research growth in the number of papers of the former after the year 2000, whereas an average of 2 articles are consistently published per year in the latter case.
Clothing & life education research is found to be different from content research in many respects.
The research area in the field of elementary school clothing & life education focused on curriculum due to recent curriculum reform. And a major research method in the field of elementary school clothing & life education was literature research or experimental research, while survey method was popular in the content research. In addition, in terms of the status of authors published in academic journals, many papers in the former were written by one author, while the latter mostly by coauthors of university professors and elementary school teachers.
Suggestions based on the results of this research are as follows. Firstly, more research need to be done on 'subject awareness' and 'educational evaluation' related to elementary school clothing & life education, and secondly, more research will be conducted on 'subject awareness' and 'educational evaluation' in the field of elementary school life education. Secondly, more integrated research shall be conducted to combine clothing & life education and content area rather than silo-based approach.
Third, although the number of authors is single or two-person in most cases, three or more authors from both fields may collaborate and improve the quality of their research papers. Fourth, digitalization may be adopted in research for development of practice-related teaching and learning methods in digital transformation era.
