Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to compare the different degrees of attainment and understanding of Naminui stitching between two groups of fifth graders at elementary school. Group I used a videotaped teaching program of my own and Group II without it. Also, the interest shown by the pupils in using the videotaped instruction were investigated. The results indicate that : 1. More pupils were found in Group I who were able to use Yubinuki and hold cloth properly, and use their left hands in their stitching than in Group II. 2. The increasing rate of the number who attained the skill was greater in Group I than in Group II. 3. More pupils in Group I could stitch better. 4. There was no difference in understanding the instruction between the two groups. 5. More than sixty percent of the pupils of Group I showed a keen interest in the VTR teaching material.
