Abstract
The purpose of this research was to analyze the reason why most of the home economics teaching practices with local perspectives didn't reach the level 3 requiring that students analyze their own living issues and become aware of their problems. Case studies compared the level 3 cases with other cases. This study also considered a topic of introducing the local perspectives into the home economics classes. The results were as follows; 1. In level 3 cases, the objectives ware not only to introduce the local materials into the classes but also to make the learners understand the local issues relating to their own livingissues. 2. The level 3 cases developed the classes to make the learners aware of the interactions among "Social needs," "Family life situation," and "Individual (learner's) issues." It is necessary to have the broad and holistic objectives of social, family and individual contexts, in order to construct and develop home economics classes with the local perspective.
