Abstract
In order to examine the question of the separation and independence of "Industrial Arts" and "Home Economics Education" in secondary schools in Japan, the characteristics of Food Technology which is one area in Design & Technology in England were clarified. The results were as follows: 1. Food Technology puts emphasis on food products. 2. Food Technology includes many subjects reflecting the many jobs in the field. 3. Food study drawn from viewpoint of technical education reduces the subject matter, which leads to a similar reduction in reflection and learning.
