Description

The objective of this study was to develop a five-year educational program in home economics education from elementary through junior high schools designed to encourage students to think about themselves and their families through a "class on death". A "class on death" means "learning related to death" and "learning for building self-esteem". For "learning related to death", we developed learning materials that helped students to accept death in the third person, in the second person, and in the first person according to developmental stages. Furthermore, we created a tentative plan that introduced "learning for building self-esteem" as a way to facilitate students acquisition of skills that would make them more mentally prepared to accept death. Through these learning methods, we believe that we can influence students' search for the "meaning of life" and their "self-actualization (building a soul)".
