Abstract
The purpose of this study is to focus on Home Economics education in junior high school, and to
examine how the learning contents of the older people have been captured and how the future learning of
the older people should be done.
For that purpose, I explained the Course of Study and textbook of Home Economics. As a result,
Course of Study was found that the study of “communication with the older people” makes an emphasis
through the analysis period.
In the Textbook of Home Economics, first, “cooperation with the people in the family and the
region”, “communication with the older people “, and “characteristics of the body of the older people”
came to be described about avariety of older people. Second, “care and support for the older people”
and “understanding of welfare facilities for the older people” came to be described in the text from the
description of the chart only.
In response to the above results, the learning of the older people from the following two viewpoints
is required. First, it is need to foster the attitude of cooperation and collaboration with the older people as
neighboring. Second, it is need to understand the various older people.
