    We worked out a strategy to teach critical thinking through the analysis of comments based on the teacher's wraparound edition of American textbook of home economics. The results were as follows ; 1) Learning contents in home economics subject were located in the process to think critically. 2) Each domain of learning had a distinctive tendency toward the number of items for critical thinking. 3) Two distinct fundamental patterns, a W-type and a V-type, were abstructed through the analysis on the construction of items. In addition, W-type had the purpose of understanding the relation-ship between oneself and other people by the means of list-up. V-type served the purpose of behavior problem solving and organizational management by the means of discussion. 4) A starting and terminal point of the two basic patterns for critical thinking wewe ascertained serving a role in self-evaluation.

    In the previous report, we found that the teaching strategies for critical thinking can be devided in two patterns, which have been labeled as the W & V-types of learning. We taught some home economics classes in senior hight school, with aims of verifying the effectiveness of the two types as teaching strategies. The effects were as follows ; 1) In the W-type classes, students were clessified into four groups depending on whether they could reach the goal of the class. We analyzed the reason that students could not reach the goal, and we found two facts to be significant. One was that there wasn't self-disclosure, and the other was that they didn't understand the consept of value. 2) In the V-type classe, it was difficult to classify the students. However, we recognized 23 percents of students reached the goal of class based on the analysis of student's writings in detail. And it was suggested the questions of "Es" and "Ee" in the class was not proper. Through teaching two types of classses, we learned the necessity for students of getting self-esteem, as well as the importance of teacher's questions.

    To determine the teaching contents of housing life in home economics education from the view point of disaster prevention. Forty items for the teaching guide were developed according to previous researches. Questionnaires were given to home economics teachers of elementary, junior high and senior high schools nationwide asking them to review the forty items and determine their level of importance. We stepped on findings of this questionnaire to teachers and results of conventional reseach and did positioning of teaching contents correlate to educational level of the students. Two points of the teaching contents were adapted for elementary school level, three for junior high school, and four for senior high school. We suggest that the 'teaching contents for disaster prevention' in the housing life section of home economics will cultivate the ability to save the lives and quality of living of the students, their families and neighbors when faced with a disaster. This subject should be included to the next home economics curriculum.

    The aim of this study is to clarify trends and problems of class researches that may have recently existed in Home Economics Education. It was supposed that this investigation would lead to the suggestion of paradigm changes of class researches in Home Economic Education. 82 articles in the Journals of The Japan Association of Home Economics Education were chosen and their research plans including methodology (research context, analysis of data) were investigated. The findings showed that 'questionnaire' and 'test about knowledge' were used most in them as methods, and 'statistical, quantitative analysis' as analysis technique. The necessity for development of qualitative researches is suggested for paradigm change of class researches in Home Economics Education.
