    In 1947, Homemaking Education was set in the curriculum of the fifth and sixth grades of elementary schools. Since then, social and educational environment around children has changed. This article aims to examine some assertions that Homemaking study should begin from lower grades, and to obtain suggestions for the improvement of such curricula. These are classified in four groups by their educational method : (1) guidance of family life, (2) homelife study course, (3) integrated activity course, and (4) consumer education course. The author's conclusion is that, a new curriculum should be planned in consideration of the following points : what the school should teach, what the most effective method is, and how the integration and the system of Homemaking Education can be combined.

    The aim of this study was a historical examination of living on household work and its actual practice in class, as a way to the study of homemaking education. Three practices in class were investigated. They were cooking practice of elementary school by Ozaki (1978), clothing practice of junior high school by Komatsu (1979) and housing practice of junior high school by Isamoto (1977). Judging from a historical examination of living on household work, the three practices are very fitting and typical in practice.

    The aim of this paper is to make clear the relation between the students consciousness concerning washing and repairing of clothes and those of education. Subjects were 724 students at six junior high schools and five senior high schools in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The results are as follows : 1) The level of study on washing and repairing of clothes at school was higher in the senior high schools than in the junior; higher in the general course than in the special, higher in the segregated than in the co-ed schools. 2) The knowledge about washing and repairing was parallel to the level of study on washing and repairing. 3) The habits of washing and repairing at home were higher in senior high schools than in junior high schools, higher in the special course than in the general, higher in the villages than in the cities, higher in the homes of employed mothers than in the unemployed. 4) The expectation for the study on washing and repairing "by doing" was very high. 5) The knowledge about washing and repairing had little relation to the habits of washing and repairing at home. In washing and repairing education, it is more important to make students obtain good habits of washing and repairing than to give them knowledge only.

    The washing and repairing of clothes was discussed in the first report. In this paper we are going to report about clothing construction. The results are as follows : 1 On clothing construction study at school : 1) The rate of self-making was very high. 2) The more difficult the subjects were, the less the satisfaction of success was. 3) The rate of wearing the finished works was low and the main reason was "unnecessity". 2 Many students were fond of clothing construction and the main reason was "about the process of clothing construction". 3 The higher the level of the study at school was, the higher the rate of construction at home. 4 The will to make clothes at home in future life was strong. 5 The necessity for the study on clothing construction at school was strong; "sweater", "yukata", "child clothes" were required. 6 The interests in clothing construction had influences on the will, the necessity for the study and habits of clothing construction, so it is important in clothing construction education to make students have interests in construction at first.

    Textbooks at Nagoya Primary School attached to Aichi University of Education were analyzed to extract the relative contents of housing. The results are as follows : 1) To the first and second grades are adopted the reduced scale comparison of length below lm, two-dimensional connection of the points on drawings of floor plans including four directions, drawing of triangle and square on section paper, drawing of a simple expansion figure, and drawing without using an expansion figure. 2) To the third and fourth grades are adopted the length reaching km unit, comparison and calculation of areas, three-dimensional connection, eight-sided directions, drawing of various ground plans on paper, precise figures and making a nearly actual model of house. 3) To the fifth and sixth grades are adopted the area calculation of various ground figures, their magnification and reduction, expression of the location by means of direction and distance, guide map, complex figures, projection and model building. To let the students direct their attention to not only dwellings but also to the improvement of dwelling environment, it seems useful to teach housing contents in home economics education and primary school level.

    We investigated how people who nurse children think about the existing state of the formation of basic habits on infants. As people who nurse children, we chose three different groups : mothers, nursery attendants and kindergarteners, and students of nursing school. The results were as follows : 1. They thought that training at nursery school or kindergarten was proper, and that home training was indulgent. 2. Half of them admitted that they trained their children properly at present. 3. Few of them denied corporal punishment, but at the same time, many of them kept rational training in mind. 4. They made light of training as a member of society. The results were significantly different among the three groups.

    We investigated what and when people who nurse children wanted to train them. The results were as follows : 1. As to when they wanted their children to become independent on basic living habits, the results were significantly different among mothers, nursery attendants and kindergarteners, and students of nursing school. 2. All of them hoped that independence of social habits be completed by six years old. 3. Most mothers wanted their children to be trained at nursery school or kindergarten. Nursery attendants trained positively at their nursery schools. These results will contribute toward education of students in nursing schools.

    In order to make clear the actual condition of practical and experiential learning for nursing teaching at the high school level, we investigated through questionnaires the home-economics teachers in Hiroshima and Saga. The following results were obtained : 1) There was lack of hours for nursing teaching. 2) The method of teaching was mainly by lectures, and was often by use of audiovisual education aids. 3) The kinds of practical and experiential learning were by visiting an institution for children, practice of child-caring, recording self development, making goods for children, investigation of the market, research and discussions. 4) The problems in the near future is to secure more hours for nursing teaching, to fully equip with teaching aids, to systematize out-of-school studying and to evaluate the actual teaching and learning.
