Abstract
Students of senior high schools are required to learn 'General Home Economics' (which consists of five areas) as a compulsory subject for four credits since the revision of the curriculum in 1973. This study dealt with the views of home economics students who had completed a course of 'General Home Economics' in Fukuoka Prefecture after two years had passed since the revision. The results show that the need of 'management of food life' and 'child care and home nursing' are the most important for these students, while 'home management' and 'management of clothing habits' are the least important for them.
