JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe major problems surrounding children in modern society are the declining birthrate and child abuse. The system for child-rearing support has been established in dealing with these problems. As a whole direction, this system is characterized in the flow of moving toward “the Socialization of childcare” which bears jointly with the society from the age when the family completely had the role of bringing up a child. In home economics, the aims of home care are to understand the development of infants, to experience interacting with infants, and to learn how to interact with them. It also aims for students to understand child-rearing support and recognize the importance of the role played by parents, families, communities, and society. In order for home economics childcare learning to facilitate the prevention of child abuse, it is important that its educational content does not make it natural for parents alone, especially mothers, to take care of children, and encourage them to seek support.View full abstractDownload PDF (938K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSince the late 1990s, a new interpretation of competency has been advocated, as global educational reform is promoted. This study thus examined current home economics curriculums in various countries in the late 2010s. In addition, a questionnaire was administered from July 2015 to September 2019 to home economics researchers and teachers from 15 countries, accompanied by interviews and following reviews. The findings were: (1) Mainly in Europe, there was emphasis on food and health as the learning content, and other contents such as family and childcare were incorporated in other subjects. (2) Acquisition of new competencies such as thinking, judgment, and problem-solving was a main objective in Sweden, Finland, Ireland, US, and Japan. (3) Although lesson study was not so much implemented, many respondents expressed their willingness to incorporate it in the future. In addition, the characteristics of all curriculums could be classified into three types: a) holistic/comprehensive, b) autonomous living/consumer citizen, and c) technology-oriented types. Through a comparative study, the characteristics of Japanese home economics, which holds holistic learning contents and is compulsory from elementary to senior high school, was also recognized. The task is to promote positive curriculum studies on educational values of home economics holistic learning and develop lesson study under international cooperation.View full abstractDownload PDF (1244K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe aim of home economics is to increase students’ quality of life (QOL) and well-being throughout life. This study discusses the elements of “life literacy” and the knowledge and skills acquired in highschool home economics as a way to examine qualities and abilities fostered by home economics. The qualities and abilities of home economics and the reality of student-life were then surveyed with the aim of contributing to future home economics lessons. The following became clear after analyzing 2,207 students’ responses to a questionnaire survey. 1) High-school students with high life literacy are in good health and have a higher QOL compared to high-school students with low life literacy. Moreover, they have a strong intention to become independent alongside a strong desire for male–female partnership in building a family where both spouses work. 2) Students with a high acquisition of knowledge and skills in home economics have a higher life literacy than those with a low acquisition. These findings clarify that life literacy is related to both QOL and the knowledge and skills acquired in home economics. It is the ability to solve problems in life using the knowledge and skills acquired in home economics to improve the QOL.View full abstractDownload PDF (967K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSKobayashi and Nagata (2019) conducted a nationwide survey on “food in emergencies” for home economics teachers. Practical issues revealed in the survey were “insufficient home economics class time,” “not included in the curriculum,” and “insufficient teaching materials and tools.” The purposes of this study are to modularize of “food in emergencies” education class in junior high school home economics, to create and develop an annual instruction plan, model instruction plan, and teaching materials, and to verify their usefulness from a survey of teachers. In Study 1, classes were improved to reflect the results of the nationwide survey and the New Course of Study. Then, we created and developed an annual instruction plan that includes the modules, a model learning instruction plan for lessons that combine each module, worksheets, and presentation materials. In Study 2, we conducted a questionnaire survey and an interview survey with home economics teachers. As a result of the surveys, it was found that the created and developed annual teaching plan, the model learning teaching plan, and the developed teaching materials were generally useful regardless of the teaching history of the teacher.View full abstractDownload PDF (946K) -

Released on J-STAGE: February 01, 2023
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFindings of the questionnaire survey of 144 first-year students at a public junior high school suggested that the SASHIKO stitching training class was a FLOW experience for many of the students. The enjoyment of the activity and the change in the sense of the passage of time, which are characteristics of the FLOW experience, were felt strongly by the students. The FLOW scores during the SASHIKO stitching training class were related to the following: 1) Increase in the number of stitches in students’ works 2) Self-evaluation of sewing after the class 3) Awareness of meaningful learning in the class 4) Willingness to do the work at home after the class It was suggested that students who had a higher degree of FLOW experience in the SASHIKO stitching training class had more fulfilling products, learned more, and had higher self-evaluation. Based on the above, this study confirmed the educational significance of joy and satisfaction in the sewing class.View full abstractDownload PDF (1182K) -
Comparison of VR Teaching and Video Teaching MaterialsAyako SHIMIZU, Satomi MARUYAMA, Yuko KAWAHARA2022 Volume 64 Issue 4 Pages 288-

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis study aims to clarify the differences in educational effectiveness based on the types of teaching material on the handling of fires. The subjects were female junior and senior high school students. The study materials we examined were virtual reality (VR) and video materials, both of which include lessons on omelet cooking. After learning from the materials, the participants performed an actual cooking practice, and their behaviors while cooking omelets were evaluated by using a rubric. In addition, the degree of tension during cooking was evaluated by heart rate variation parameters ⊿SD and ⊿CV, and salivary amylase activity values. As a result, the learning effects of both the VR and video materials for omelet cooking were observed. Comparisons of the cooking processes revealed that the video materials were more highly evaluated for actions confirming safety. It was suggested that learning points should be presented at the appropriate time to match the characteristics of the teaching material during the process of its creation. The ⊿SD and ⊿CV values showed that pre-learning with VR teaching materials would increase tension in the actual cooking process, especially among junior high school students with little cooking experience. A post-study questionnaire showed that prior learning of both materials led to an increased awareness of safety checks during cooking and higher satisfaction among participants.View full abstractDownload PDF (2275K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was to examine the present eating behaviors of high school students and the factors affecting them. We conducted a questionnaire survey for 751 high school students who belonged to two public high schools in Saitama prefecture. More than 80% of students always or often ate breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. About 85% students consumed foods with good nutritional balance. Findings of multiple regression analysis indicated that the values of food, cooking skills, time use, and the level of school significantly influenced eating behaviors, whereas knowledge about food was not. These results suggest that it is effective to give guidance enhancing the values of food and focusing on the time use in order to improve eating behaviors of high school students. Furthermore, it is necessary to devise the ways to teach based on the school levels.View full abstractDownload PDF (961K) -
