Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study teaching clothing for consumer citizenship education using action research. Teaching clothing in junior high school and high school is based on a new course of study and consumer citizenship education. The effect of the teaching was that 93.0% of the students altered their ideas and actions regarding their clothing, while 23.3 % of the students altered their ideas and actions regarding their clothing in relation to society. It is suggested that students' alterations in their ideas through this teaching be combined with the students'actual behavior in daily life.
