Abstract
Teaching materials and their proper use to improve the learning effects of nursing education are urgently needed and several trials have been made. This study is an example along this line. We selected 159 girls in their second year in the general course of high school, and 50 girls in the third year. They were taught to make a picture-book using fabrics. It was completed as a home project during the summer. These picture-books were displayed in school and galleries in the district. The girls then took them to handicapped children's homes, and used them for actual nursing. For the girls with these learning experiences, an attitude measurement was carried out. Guttman's attitude analysis indicates that the coefficient of repeatability was 0.90 and that scaling was possible. It is also concluded that they were in favour of this learning.
