Abstract

Despite one subject, there is no license for "Industrial Arts and Home Economics".Teachers' license is granted separately as "Industrial Arts" and "Home Economics".On the basis of such special structure of this subject, the purpose of this study is to clarify how home economics teachers recognize problems in structure of Industrial Arts and Home Economics.Freelance answers on the demerit and merit of combined subject were analyzed.About 70% of respondents found demerit in the combination of Industrial Arts and Home Economics, especially in the difficulty of evaluation as one subject, and most teachers found problems as it was unreasonablly combinationed subject.Teachers found that students' achievement level in Industrial Arts and Home Economics did not always coincide, and evaluation points were also different.Because of teachers' different views of the subject, Industrial Arts teachers and Home Economics teachers found to collaborate with each other was difficult.Furthermore, teachers' arrangements were biased by teachers' gender.There was a tendency for male teachers to teach Industrial Arts and female teachers to teach Home Economics.
