바느질 교육의 의의(意義)에 대한 고찰

Abstract

This study aimed to shed light on the significance and relevance of sewing education within the
 context of elementary school education. The detailed considerations are as follows.
 First, to establish a logical basis for positioning sewing education as an adaptable, culturally
 relevant aspect of education, various functions and inherent values associated with sewing were
 examined. Second, the study investigated the historical setting of the objectives of sewing education
 within the school curriculum and found that various purposes of sewing education have been
 actively included in the curriculum, particularly after the 2015 curriculum revision. Third, the study
 emphasized the nature and importance of sewing education by assessing its feasibility from multiple
 perspectives, including practical skill acquisition, creative education, character education,
 sustainability, and maker education. Fourth, sewing education faces challenges in the digital age and
 in a consumer-driven society, as well as entrenched gender role stereotypes. However, the study
 argues that sewing holds meaningful potential as a well-balanced educational tool for promoting
 emotional stability in the digital age and as a general education subject for both male and female
 students. Lastly, the study suggested that the revival of the meaning of sewing education can be
 achieved through implementing changes in sewing education classes, supporting them within the
 school environment, and proposing efficient approaches and practices for enhancing sewing
 education.
 Given that this study has structured and explored the contents to re-examine the nature and
 significance of sewing education and redefine its educational validity, it is recommended that future
 research in the field of sewing education builds upon these findings and expands further.
