Abstract
In the Nara plan, the acquisition of necessary skills for home life had been aimed at in "Keiko (Practice) -Home economics-" in the school years 4-6. It was thought that the plan was made based on "knowledge and skills necessary for clothes, food, housing, propriety, and other aspects of life" extracted from the content of the curriculum (school years 5-9) of the 'Course of study for home economics in the fiscal year 1947' and the "textbook for housework and sewing" at that time. In "Keiko (Practice) -Home economics-", the didactics of housework and sewing were used. The following was clarified from the above-mentioned results of this research and the results of Part I of this report. In the Nara plan, home economics study involved the acquisition of "Open recognition concerning home life" aimed at in the 'Course of study for home economics in the fiscal year 1947' through "Shigoto (Work)". It also involved acquiring "necessary skills for home life" through "Keiko (Practice) -Home economics-". It was thought that the combination of these aspects lead to a concrete approach to teaching elementary school home economics in Japan.
