Training of Home Economics in the Special Class

Abstract

Even the pupils who are in the special class which is often called "Aho (fool) class" or "forgotten class", has big interest in the course like Home Economics which is the training of the techniques closely connected with their daily life. In the ordinary class, there always found two or three pupils who are inferior in I.Q. They do not like mathematics or Japanese language, but do gymnastics and Home Economics. But even the 6th grade pupils can learn Home Economics for the 4th grade. But by making research on the facts scientifically we can give those student confidence and change the school atmosphere. For this purpose I got together fifteen inferior pupils from other classes and taught them for 3 times a week for one hour after sehool classes. This report is the result of my experience for more than one year. Between the pupils there is big difference in their characters, abilities and other points. So I am going to educate these 15 pupils by giving each of them different practical aim.
