Abstract
Homemaking education in elementary schools is distinctly structured in the curriculum. Under the present conditions, however, research related to objectives of this education and difficulties in teaching are still unsatisfactory. Teachers in charge of homemaking education have many difficulties which also contain matters connected with other subjects in teaching every day. For the purpose of finding the key to various problems in homemaking education, a study of consciousness of teachers in charge has been made. Through it the author has come to realize tendencies of the problems which they face, and the actual conditions under which they work. The results were that most of them had regarded insufficient equipments and facilities as the primary reason for inactivity of this education. They expressed their dissatisfaction at organization of teaching staff; classes are carried chiefly in others' homerooms. In addition, teachers in charge have recognized that teachers as a whole lack understanding and recognition of homemaking education.
