Abstract
Actual conditions of the homemaking education in the senior high course of the schools for the mentally handicapped throughout Japan were investigated in April〜May, 1978. Questionnaire return was 70 schools (66.7%) out of the 105 schools sent. 1. The regular homemaking course is set up in 75.7% of the schools and the quasi-regular one is found in the rest. 2. The homemaking course is coeducational in more than 50% of the schools. 3. Many of the teachers in charge of the homemaking course are 20〜30 years old and have less than 5 years of teaching experience. 23.5% of them have certificates for teaching both the homemaking course and the school for the handicapped.
