The purpose of this study was to clarify the cognitive process of learners in home economics education classes by examining their memory. The three university students taught and the others played the role of student in the trial lessons on December 13, 1989. After a week, the seventeen university students' memory was examined by analyzing their free descriptions concerning the contents tought in them. On the other hand, the structure of them were examined by S-T analysis and Category analysis. The main conclusions deduced from this research were: 1. The learners did not take the contents of teaching as they were given. They tried to grasp them in their own way. 2. The various teaching-activities and the active learning-activities contributed to the retained memory of the contents, but were not always the case. 3. It was suggested that the activation of cognition in the learners was related to the reformation of the learners' cognitive structure.
