Abstract
This study aims to examine the process of students caring through exchanges with the elderly in-home economics of Junior High Schools. This was done by applying the model in the caring education of junior high school home economics and analyzing it from the interaction between the caregiver and the receiver of care. An innovative research method was developed in which the relationship between the student and the elderly was taken into account by invoking four methods proposed by Noddings: modeling, dialogue, practice, and confirmation. Then, a questionnaire survey was carried out on the students who participated in the home economics class and on the elderly. Consequently, the care generation process of the students was clarified through an exchange meeting with the elderly in home economics class. In this way, the students became aware of the care process for the elderly, making them capable of introspection and identifying pertinent future problems. Alternatively, it became clear that care is not noticed by students alone. The following were proposed as future focus areas: a review of the role played by teachers; examination of the care cycle for the self; and examination of the scene in which care in life can be experienced.
