The purpose of this research was to examin the belief construction of home economics teachers. This
was accomplished through intervew method to four home economics teachers who have over 20 years of
experiences and the subsequent SCAT analysis. The results were as follows: (1) The perspective to reflect
on beliefs was extracted and the points were classified into curriculum guidance and non-curriculum
guidance. (2) Looking at the relationships among the viewpoints yielded “Viewpoint No.1 capturing the
goals of home economics” and “Viewpoint No.2, the significance of home economics” both of which
are classified from seven other viewpoints. (3) It was found that the beliefs (Viewpoints No.1 and No.2)
encouraged reflections of Viewpoint No.3. (4) The viewpoints were found to be interrelated. Therefore,
we suggest that the reflection is being advanced while maintaining consistency between the viewpoints.
The future task is to clarify how to help home economics teachers to reflect on their own lessons.
