Abstract
We examined the effectiveness of the “Procedure Manual” in teaching consumer safety when intoroduced in making “circular beanbags with rubber bands” in home economics lessons.
The students were asked to make the “Manuals”, and to conduct mutual evaluations.We then verified the effectiveness of these “Manuals” on teaching through analyzing them and through the students’questionnaires.As a result, the class evaluation by the students gained a high rating of 3.90 on average.There were 11.7 statements on average related to safety and security in the “Manuals.” The “Manual” helped the students cite 6.7 safety-related symbols per person.It also helped them cite 151 consumer warning chart symbols,nearly 60 percent of the total number.
