Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to cultivate in students the ability to manage one’s relationship with food as a foundation for well-being. To this end, we developed lesson plans and evaluation criteria for home economics classes dealing with food habit. A survey was conducted to organize viewpoints on the development of home economics food classes and develop evaluation criteria for the development and practice of home economics food habits. However, the developed class was limited to being an experimental practice. Therefore, the problems of continuing practice and providing suggestions to improve home economics classes remain unresolved.
