Abstract
The ability aimed in home economics education is not merely such a skill as the dexterity in knitting, dressmaking, or in cooking…………It should be the ability with which the learners would be able to think themselves logically and scientifically, and to deal with things effectively. This ability will not be built up by the acts of imitation, but should be cultivated by the knowledge and experience learners get through fixing up the problems before them. From this point of view, the following five teaching-processes were set up. (1) taking up the teaching matter from learners' experiences, and making clear their places in the subject matter to be learned. (2) through observations, setting the learners to understand the scientific principles and their relations upon which the technique is based. (3) setting the learners to put what understood at (2) into practice. (4) setting the learners to make clear and solve the problems resuled from practices and to get the abilities comprehensively. (5) setting the learners to learn how to put the obtained abilities into good uses and to cultivate advanced abilities. The above processes should be modified and devised in accordance with the teaching materials and the learners' individual differences. The problems of the the teaching method for cach process are still opened the next question.
