JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe purpose of this study is to clarify the effects of studying experiences and its relationship with the levels of concern and support for the elderly. Our results are as follows; 78.4% of junior high school students have studying experiences about the elderly. The most frequently appeared contents of the study were "explanations and lectures about the elderly," followed by "exchanges with the elderly in the local area." The contents of the study that students were most interested in were "experiencing life as an elderly person," followed by "exchanges with the elderly in the local area." These students who studied contents of "explanations and lectures about the elderly," "working on the project about elderly," and "exchanges with the elderly in the local area" reported a higher level of concern for the elderly than students who did not study these materials. Those students who studied contents of "interview to the elderly," "explanations and lectures about the elderly," "exchanges with the elderly in the local area," and "exchanges with the elderly in the nursing homes" reported a higher level of support for the elderly than students without this studying experiences.View full abstractDownload PDF (753K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThis study aims to analyze how parental roles identified in home economics textbooks foster greater gender-equality in Japanese society. In order to understand the history of fostering gender-equality in Japanese society, I examined international treaties and institutional policies. How are paternal roles represented in educational policies and home economics textbooks? My research indicates that the international treaties identifying paternal roles have had an impact on institutional policies in Japanese society. The international treaties stressed the importance of developing a gender-equal consciousness, at the same time, fathers are expected to share childcare responsibilities in Japanese institutional policies. Results also indicate that being influenced by the international treaties, home economics education presented fathers as active participants in housework and childcare before the creation of gender-equality policy in Japan. In addition, the international treaties had an impact on educational policies in Japan. As a result, educational policies presented fathers as active participants in housework and childcare. These policies, however, still portray fathers in traditional gender roles contradicting Japanese institutional policies. Home economics education has been influenced by institutional and educational policies, and has been creating and developing new father's models since 1994.View full abstractDownload PDF (2000K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSWe examined the effects of the taste comparison between local and imported vegetables on the teacher training students' views on the food ingredients. The following results were obtained. 1) When purchasing the food ingredients, teacher training students' considerations of the place where the food ingredients were produced became stronger. 2) In the box lunch making, the students consciously selected the place of production, the taste, freshness, and the texture of the food ingredients. In addition, number of homemade ingredients, and the concern for the taste and the place of production increased. 3) In the exercise of creating advertising papers after making the box lunch, many students used the terms such as food ingredients, place, and in season. Students also made remarks about wanting to review and improve eating habits, which is considered the effects of the comparison on their eating activities. This study is important in creating the homemaking courses that value the food ingredients.View full abstractDownload PDF (1372K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe purpose of this study is to present useful materials concerning what and how much we should eat in a meal or a day with regard to the food volume in dishes. These materials are intended for junior and senior high schools' home economics education, and for lifelong learning. Among more than 150 types of food, several common cutting and cooking methods were selected. Prior to cooking, edible portion weight of each food was measured, and after cooking, the weight and the volume of the foods in dishes were measured. As a result, two teaching materials were created. First, a conversion table which shows the foods' edible portion weight of 60ml (1egg volume) in dishes was constructed. Second, a rough guide for food group intake was calculated from the food volume in dishes. The expected effects of using these materials are as follows; (1) Each food's edible portion weight can be easily estimated, and the food group intake or nutritive value can be calculated, and (2) When cooking, correct food weights for expected volume in dishes can be easily estimated.View full abstractDownload PDF (1358K)
