Abstract

The following two problems exist in the childcare study of 2008 version for the junior high school technology and home economics course: Lack of ①objective for the purpose of the childcare lesson on the relationship between the student and a child and ②an objective method to assess students’ “personality formation.” This research followed the lesson research, the Flour Baby Project (FBP), through which the Junior High School Attached to the Faculty of Education, Okayama University aimed to solve the former problem. Moreover, we developed a scale FBP-Learning Effect (FBP-LE), which evaluates the students’ psychological tendencies for the purpose of addressing the latter problem. FBP-LE consists of the self-esteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965) and six factors for human relationships (family/children), which are used to evaluate the students themselves and their relationship with others. In addition, we conducted a pilot study and checked the reliability of the FBP-LE. Before and after the FBP lesson, FBP-LE study was carried out for 97 students (48 boys and 49 girls) who had studied childcare in June 2008. As a result of the FBP lesson, the students reported to have strengthened the “relationship between themselves and the people in the society” and increased a “sense of trust in self and in others” through the FBP lesson. Furthermore, the students, particularly who with a high degree of self-esteem, seemed to consider things from parents’ perspectives after the FBP experience. From the results above, it was proved that we could apply the FBP-LE created by this research to evaluate students’ achievements in the family and childcare lesson in home economics classes at junior high schools. Furthermore, students’ self-esteem and factors about human relationships and to have increased through the FBP, and acting mutually towards others. As evaluated by a psychologist (see Harada & Sato, 2011), the FBP can contribute to addressing the pedagogical challenge of improving students’ self-esteem and form interpersonal relationships, particularly for children having difficulties with both, a situation which is a major concern of our country’s schools.
