抄録

In the full-time senior high schools in the west of Aichi prefecture we authors surveyed chiefly "home-making general" and "nursing" taught at those schools to grasp some problems in instructing them, and observed the following facts. 1. 100% of the pupils in the ordinary course or the home-making course took "home-making general" for 4 credits, but about 80% in the vocational course took the subject for 3.8 credits. Nursing subject was taken by 19% of the pupils in the ordinary course, 91% in the home-making course, and 8% in the vocational course. 2. An average of 25 hours were allotted to the course of infants nursing. Very few of the teachers instructing in this course majored in nursing, and most of them were the teachers who specialized in food or clothing. 3. The method of instructing the pupils in nursing was chiefly that lecturing, and the rate of the use of audio-visual aids was low. 4. Most of the opinions by the teachers on nursing were as follows. a) They want to have the contents of "home-making general" reexamined. b) Practical training or study and observation in nursing is difficult. c) In an ordinary course it is necessary that the pupils should take nursing for 2-4 credits. d) They feel the absolute necessity of studying the teaching aids, especially audio-visual ones and of learning how to instruct the pupils in nursing. e) The pupils are not interested in "home-making general" and "nursing".
