    Using the same inquiries and subjects as in the first report, here we will present the present status of the teaching contents and learning situation, and to clarify the problems and topics in teaching. Contents taught in all schools were mainly "clothing" and "foods". To guide students with their poor life experiences, weights were given to experiments and exercises. Sex education leading to good homemaking for handicapped persons was not mentioned. Guidance for marriage and nursing children will be an important topic to admit marriage as a human right. Various names were given for the subject tanght, but "general homemaking", "foods", "clothing", "handicrafts" and "work" were popular. Among them, "general homemaking" was taught in eighty percent of the schools with 4.9 units in average as a subject to promote the growth of fundamental ability and attitude in home life. About a half of the boys were also learning the subject, and the system of homemaking based on one's life is now getting well organized.

    The purpose of this report is to examine the present teaching methods and the position of teachers. It focuses on methodologies, the use of textbooks and equipments specially designed for handicapped students, and on the frequency of participation in professional conferences and meetings. The results are as follows : Because of the wide range of students' ability, individual and group instructions are frequently utilized. Fifty-four percent of the teachers complain about the inconvenience of teaching with textbooks. More than half of the teachers recognize the need for textbooks designed specifically for mentally and physically handicapped students. The teachers of homemaking are strongly required to develop leadership qualities and to concentrate their studies on becoming specialists in both the education of mentally and physically handicapped students and in homemaking. However, the rate of teachers' attendence at professional meetings tends to be low. This can be attributed to the problems of education in schools for mentally and physically handicapped students and also the way these meetings are generally conducted.

    In the last three reports, we have investigated the actual state of homemaking education at the high school level for mentally and physically handicapped students. This report, on the basis of these results, discusses the future prospectives of homemaking education in these schools. By handicapped students we mean 'students with special educational needs according to their individual handicaps'. We consider that their education is basically conducted in the same way as education for non-handicapped students, but that there is an educational value in providing students with the means to demonstrate their maximal ability and in working for the richer formation of their characters. When future homemaking education in these schools is discussed on the basis of this educational policy, it is necessary that educational contents and teaching methods which take individual student's differences into consideration and which use appropriate teaching materials and equipments be constructed.
