Theoretical Framework

“THEORY OF HOME ECONOMICS EDUCATION”

This study is related to Human Ecology Research. “Theory of Home Economics

Education”. Seong-Youn Choi(2022). The objective of this study was to conduct a

‘Theory of Home Economics Education’class using online problem-based learning (PBL)

for prospective home economics (HE) teachers. The aim was to enable teachers to

analyze the learning experience in the classroom, and to prepare operational strategies for

online PBL on this basis. In order to achieve this, online PBL was applied to 31 students

participating in the ‘Theory of Home Economics Education’at the Department of HE in a

university in Seoul, and the results were collected from the learning process.

This also involved a reflective journal, a survey on the learning experience and

the impacts was conducted. Moreover, analysis was undertaken on the learning activities,

learning difficulties, and improvements. The main research results are as follows. Firstly,

students accessed Webex, an online video conferencing program, and performed two

PBL tasks:‘Making Home Economics Promotion Materials’ and ‘Presenting Teaching

Strategies to Improve Learner's Immersion in Online Classes’. Secondly, learners

established their own identity of HE learned about the HE class plans themselves. They

also encountered realistic experience as HE teachers and learned communication and

collaboration skills.

Furthermore, they acquired creative problem-solving and self-directed learning

ability, community consciousness, as well as the attitude of consideration and respect.

Thirdly, students lacked knowledge of learning content and encountered difficulty in

solving data research, analysis processes, and unstructured problems.

They were affected by a lack of time and encountered problem in

communicating with other team members in an online environment. As an improvement

in online class operation, it was considered necessary to reduce the learning burden by

securing time and reducing the number of assignments, as well as to explain active

interaction with instructors and PBL.

Scope and Limitation

and being a home economics student facing many challenges for getting a professional
