This paper clarifies the learning experience and its significance during three years of practice, of two high school students from the Kenebetsu Nutrition Education School. In addition, it explores the implications of citizenship education pertaining to home economics.
This study established that the two students experienced difficulties in social interactions with adults and children. However, they became more confident in time, which means that they achieved growth, mainly due to the following reasons: there was solidarity between high school students and adults; they aimed to build horizontal relationships and started to think “we” instead of “I.” Finally, the practice of care was developed.
From the results, it was suggested that the factors necessary for citizenship formation of high school students in home economics practice generate “we” awareness and “care”, etc., through collaboration among the members of a community of practice.
