-Issues of Teaching Practice in Home Economics -

Abstract

This research clarifies issues of teaching practices and considers new developments in consumer education. According to textbooks, consumers have diverse rights and responsibilities. The study identified three teaching practice problems: (1) Consumer education is low, (2) There are difficulties in connecting teaching with concrete cases, and (3) The majority of teachers do not teach fundamental consumer law. As a result, we propose that new consumer education include real life experiences. We also propose a definite plan that can solve teaching practice problems though a follow-up survey.
