다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We investigated the extent of recognition and the rate of class practice on the contents relevant to the environmental education in the units of ‘Clothing Life’ of the 7th ‘Technology-Home Economics’ curriculum in Korean middle school teachers.
Two hundred sixty teachers, who had taught the units of ‘Clothing Life’ and responded to the questionnaires by mail from December 2007 to January 2008, were enrolled and each item in the questionnaires was analyzed in this study.
Most teachers recognized the serious environmental issues in their residential area resulting in a harmful influence on their lives. Also they exhibited increased practice will such as joining to the environmental organizations and showed high practice of the environmental preservation. They commented relatively high rate of class practice on the contents relevant to the environmental education and enhanced practice of the environmental preservation in all units of ‘Clothing Life’ of the 7th ‘Technology-Home Economics’ curriculum except the units of ‘Clothing Skill and Dress Clothes’ and ‘Simple Clothes Making’. Moreover, teachers with higher age and longer teaching career had the higher level of recognition and the greater rate of class practice on the environmental education compared to those without.
Teachers should try to raise the students’ recognition and practice will on the environmental issues in the class of ‘Clothing Life’ of the 7th ‘Technology-Home Economics’ curriculum in Korean middle school.
