Popis: The purpose of this study was to investigate the needs of Korean adolescents regarding preparenthood education and to suggest a curriculum model based on the results. The subjects were 800 high school boys and girls, 935 parents, and 545 teachers of the students. The research instrument was a questionnaire of 40 items on 4 topics, on a 5‐point Likert scale. The topics were understanding of adolescence and sex education, family and home in modern society, parent's role and responsibility, and understanding the child and child‐rearing. Data were analyzed with f‐tests, F‐tests, and Scheffe tests. The results showed a great need for preparenthood education for adolescents among the three groups, but boys expressed moreneeds than girls. Based on the results, principles of curriculum development were presented and a model was constructed.
