Individual's Life planning as a Unifying principle for Homemaking Education

Abstract

Every field or subject in the curriculum must have an organized or systematized principle. What is the principle for homemaking education? Human beings are social animals. The intuitional behavior of man differentiates him from other animals. The reflexive and instinctive behavior of man cannot be predicted through scientific knowledge, but man's behavior may have scientific rationality in organizational planning. Planning is necessary in enterprise and administration. That planning is necessary in home life also, is not understood. Human behavior must fit the environment and therefore, estimating changes of the environment are important in planning. As a means of planning one's life, household accounting has hitherto been used. This author emphasizes the need to add behavioral recording to the above. Time-and-behavior viewpoint to planning is just as important as money-and mat erial plauning by account recording.
