Make use of the following aspect in a lesson : "Think about student's future goals and their occupation". 3. The lesson included topics ranging from the personal issues of the students themselves to issues related to society at large.

    The purpose of this study is to clarify the issues on home economics education in junior high schools through a survey of junior high schools in 12 prefectures. Teachers' consciousness on teaching home economics was analyzed using the career histories of home economics teachers and whether or not to have a teacher's license for home economics. A yearly teaching plan, the relationship between industrial arts and home economics and views on coeducational home economics classes were recognized to be relevant to the teacher's long or short career history of home economics and whether or not to have a teacher's license for home economics. In conclusion, it is important that teachers only teach in the field for which their license is valid, and that opportunities for reeducation and study for teachers are guaranteed. Also discussion is needed on the subject of"Industrial arts and home economics" which is combined as one subject in spite of the fact that a teacher's license for these subjects is different.
