Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the "Foods" practice of Dewey's Laboratory School and to think about the whole practices of this school. The method used compares the following three records' the class plan by Dewey (1895), the class practices by teachers (1898-1899), and the interpretation by Dewey (1900). Because of Dewey didn't teach at his Laboratory School but made theories, and classes were done by teachers. The data was organized through the figures of curriculum system, and examinations were conducted. This study produced following four results; First, though this study was aimed at the specialization of the knowledge in the class plan, it was also aiming at the specialization of the skill at the same time in the class practice, and the guidance of learning was not one direction. Second, it was conscious that the connections between the subject and the point of view of an order to deal with, and fitted to a child's growth through the class practice. Third, the connection of the "Foods" and the world outside of the school were considered important Forth, Dewey regards learning that the interaction with recognition and impulse as very important. These results suggested it is necessary for today's Domestic Science to start from early stage.
