The purpose of this study was to assess the changes in the knowledge and attitudes on parenthood after learning topics of parenting education in Technology-Home Economics (T&HE) classes. For this purpose, four focus group interviews were conducted with the first and second-grade high school students in A and B high school in Daejeon. Each focus group comprised eight male or eight female students who enrolled in T&HE classes taught by the same teacher. The results of this study are as follow. First, even students enrolled in the T&HE class did not recognize that they learned content related to parenting education, and strongly agreed with the necessity of learning parenting education in adolescence. Second, the primary goals of parenting education should be for adolescents to know about human sexuality and teen pregnancy in understanding the inherent responsibility as a parent and to acquire practical nurturing skills. Third, the topics that should be stressed in parenting education for high school students should include the practical aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, parental role or upbringing, and changes in family relations. Fourth, the parenting education provided by the Technology-Home Economics class would contribute to adolescents understanding their parents and promoting gender equality by knowing the importance of co-parenting. This study suggests that future research must develop a systematic and effective parenting education curriculum to consider practical goals from the perspective of adolescents.
