| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focuses on women’s colleges which officially came into existence during the period of education reform after the Second World War; and it does a comparative analysis of each school’s concepts especially each department’s formation, such as education philosophy, feminine education, and home economics; and it studies a part of women’s colleges’ actual conditions and historic characteristics.
As a result of this research, the following points made clear: First, among prewar women’s higher education institutions, only medical and pharmaceutical schools became coeducational and all literature and home economics schools became women’s colleges. Second, there were few schools which instilled the ideal of femininity, but most of the schools insisted on founding women’s colleges. Third, the departments’ formation of women’s colleges, when they were established, had only literature and home economics, and there was no school which had a department of social science.
