Abstract
In recent years, large-scale disasters have occurred in Japan, and disaster prevention education is required in various subjects in school education. We previously analyzed textbook content on disaster prevention. Building on these findings, we collected and analyzed teaching practices for disaster prevention in home economics in junior high schools. The analysis uncovered a wide range of such teaching practices. It revealed that teachers teach disaster prevention considering the local community and covering a wide variety of aspects, such as family and home life, diet, private life, evacuation shelters, disaster drills, disaster preparation, infants and the elderly, cooking, clothing, and consumption environments. It also revealed teaching practices that relate disaster prevention with other subjects, such as science and social studies, and that involve cooperation with elementary schools..
