This study was made in order to gain some clue to examine the contents of clothing education for both boy and girl students in senior high schools. In this report we investigated and considered what they expect from clothing education, what information they want and what they want to know through computers.
1) Among the current contents of clothing education, many students want to learn how to choose clothes, how to get a good combination and how to wear clothes properly.
2) Many students of both sexes want to get knowledge and information of dress which becomes them well, and of how to wear their clothes to show their individuality.
3) Through computers they want to know informations about design, colors, patterns and combinations which fit individual figures and preferences. They also want information of current fashions through them.
4) As a result of cross tabulation of each sex, we could find some differences between them. In clothing education girl students want to learn how to sew more than boy students do. Both students are greatly interested in how to wear clothes well, well-matched clothes, how to choose ready-made clothes and how to treat clothes.We have to make much of their great interest in these when we consider the contents of clothing education for both sexes.
5) Cross tabulation of each type classified by clothing attitude revealed some differences among them. Type 3, which has deep interest in dress, has also a strong desire to learn about clothing.
Hereafter, on the basis of this survey, we intend to examine the concrete contents of clothing education for both boy and girl students.
