Abstract
This study investigated how homemaking teachers educated the returned students. The author studied yearly changes in the situation by comparing the results of the last survey in 1987. The findings are as follows: Homemaking teachers seldom feel difficulty of instructing them, in particular only half of the junior high school teachers are conscious of it in classrooms. Currently homemaking is taught general students and returned students at the same time in the same classroom and respondents of this survey express that such mixed classroom management is desirable. Interest in homemaking class by returned students is 'higher' (responses of elementary school teachers) and 'not changed' (responses of junior high school teachers) compared to the result of the last survey. Junior high school teachers particularly feel difficulty of instructing clothing area to them. 65% of senior high school teachers recognize that experiences returned students had abroad through daily life are helpful to study homemaking, but the recognition is significantly different among schools. In conclusion it is requested that homemaking teachers should fully grasp how returned students were taught this subject in countries they lived, and then give the students individual instruction if they can't understand it well. Homemaking should be the subject which aims at helping all the students in classrooms understand different cultures.
