    The aims of this study are to clarify how paradigm change of class research in Home Economics Education (Ito et al. 2003) has occurred in ten years from 2000 to 2009, and to explore future directions of class research of Home Economics Education. The results are as follows: 1) For all articles the number of class research has increased from 18.7% to 27.9% in the 1990s. 2) To examine the understanding of students, qualitative research has increased, and quantitative research was often used as well to maintain the objectivity of the studies. 3) To approach the reality of classes, many of methodologies were used to collect data including video data, audio data, participant observation, field notes, worksheets, students' descriptions, narratives, interviews, students' outputs, conferences, and evaluations.

    With an aim to pass on the cultural tradition of the Kimono, we developed an educational program for home economics in which students actually experienced trying on the Yukata. The experience-oriented program was conducted on 155 girl students at a private high school. After trying on the Yukata in pairs, the student was asked to evaluate on their own wearing skills, and the teachers on the students'. The subsequent survey was conducted after summer vacation. The fact that there are some differences between the evaluation of the teachers and the students left issues for future teaching. After the class, most students answered that they understood how to wear the Yukata, enjoyed trying on the Yukata and hoped to dress it again. 30% of the students were reported to have worn the Yukata during their summer vacation. By using exploratory analysis, model-building among self-evaluation of the wearing skills, degree of understanding, and interest towards the Kimono, and the relations among the factors were verified with structural equation modeling (SEM), an effective model was shown. It can be concluded that this experience -oriented program of try-on-Yukata attracts the students' interest and provides them an opportunity to practice in life.

    The purpose of this study is to comparatively examine experience in early childhood education and care (ECEC) with a focus on whether the effects of learning depend on the timing of the experiential practice. The study was conducted by comparing ECEC during and after the instruction of the child care unit. The results showed that even if the experiential practice occurred over the course of the year, no differences were observed in the effects of the timing of the experiential practice and the teaching of the curriculum in the following learning categories; 1) Increasing interest in children and developing positive attitudes toward them. 2) Increasing interest in child rearing and developing understanding of child care. 3) Developing positive images of young children. 4) Developing self-reflection.
