Abstract
The present study aims at a proper understanding on the part of teachers in homemaking education on the actual situation of the "mutual extension" system. Information was obtained by a questionnaire sent out to teachers engaged in technical and homemaking education at the public junior high schools in Wakayama Prefecture. The results are as follows : The gap between the teachers' opinions and the actual situation of the "mutual extension" system can be ascribed to a large extent to the restrictions laid down on teachers carrying an actual teaching load and restrictions inherent in the "mutual extension" system itself. Although the actual situation is not exactly what is required in the promotion of the coeducation system, the above practice seemed to arouse confidence in and intention of a more fully systematized coeducation system.
