This research aims to understand the situations and problems of class design and class evaluations in high school home economics classes. By analyzing 186 high school home economics teachers’questionnaire responses on lesson study, the following things became apparent.
Firstly, 70% of high school home economics teachers worry about their class design (i.e., what kind of learning activities should be created, how to make activities problem based learning). Since they are very busy, these teachers are rarely able to self-reflect on their classes. Furthermore, in the case of only one teacher for home economics in the school, lesson study is difficult. Secondly, when teachers introduce various learning activities into their classes, students become more motivated to learn. However, younger teachers tend to introduce neither experiential activities nor experimental activities that require technical knowledge. It is therefore necessary to raise special knowledge and to master class design that introduced learning activities in teachers colleges.
