| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to clarify the current status and issues of home economics education from the gender perspective, and reveal its vision.As a result, it was suggested that high school textbooks of home economics education, which complied with the ministry’s curriculum guidelines from post-world-war-II to 1989, were divided into four phases: 1) a phase that girls’ attribute education was emphasized as a base of a democratic family, 2) a phase that attempted, by making home economics education compulsory only for girls, to establish attribute education for girls who wished to seek economic self-reliance by getting a job, 3) a transitional phase that, while it was still a compulsory course only for girls in high school, attempted to change its content to more cross-gender education, and 4) a phase that, by implementing co-ed course of home economics education, increased literature aligned with gender equality. The oral interview research was conducted according to these phases.
