In the curriculum guidelines for elementary schools, junior high schools and, high schools revised in 2017 and 2018, it was shown that the education of competency bases would be promoted as a new direction of education. Previous studies have revealed that by having students who want to become home economics teachers compare home economics with other subjects, the view of subjects regarding home economics deepens. Therefore, in this report, classes that provide an opportunity to compare home economics with other subjects held in graduate schools are used to clarify the graduate students’ perceptions of home economics after participating in the classes, as well as their current educational practices and subject views as home economics teachers. As a result, it became clear that the lesson experience at the graduate school influenced the graduate students who aspired to be home economics teachers and deepened their understanding of the essential meaning of home economics. In addition, it was possible to catch the actual condition that the effect continued in the subject view and the guidance view in the fourth year of the teacher.
