Abstract
Guidance is an important part of the learning experience for students who start studying home economics. This was introduced to elementary education in 2008 in the revised home economics course of study; it outlines what home economics education means to students who begin studying it, and how to conclude home economics learning, which is important for those who will finish it in elementary school.
This study purpose was to propose a type of home economics guidance and analyze its challenges. Here, existing students made a commercial message to promote home economics education to commencing students.
The commercial message video allowed students to articulate the positive contents of the course and to clarify their understanding of home economics learning. The content that supported students was that which the teachers emphasized in the classes.
Through the creation of the commercial message video, students reconsidered their learning experience of home economics over the two years. The 4th grade students increased their motivation to learn the subject after watching the commercial messages that the senior students had created.
