Abstract
This study was carried out to see if there is any difference in the knowledge of electric washing machine and the ability to use it between those who learned to handle it in homemaking education at the elementary school level and those who did not. The subjects were 121 students who entered the same junior high school as stated in the 1st report in 1978. The time, method and items were the same as the first report. The results are as follows : 1. No difference is shown in the percentage of correct answers to all items between the 1st-year students of 1977 and those of 1978. 2. Among the 1st-year students of 1978, the learned surpass the unlearned in the percentage of correct answers. 3. Among the students from the Elementary School Attached to Kyoto University of Education (the unlearned graduates of 1977 and the learned graduates of 1978), the learned surpass the unlearned in the percentage of correct answers, and the difference is markedly greater in the case of girl students.
