Abstract

To foster an understanding of the relationship between people and clothes, the Clothing Life section of the Elementary School Home Economics Syllabus includes the relationship between materials and designs of clothes and human physiology, as well as the social significance of clothing, as pupils learn“ how to wear” various garments. Clothing materials worn by humans must be: 1) hygienic, 2) strong and durable, 3) morphologically stable, and 4) manageable. This study focuses on hygiene and examines the development of a continuous wetting and drying property test, a new experiment through which students discover why a) the drying property is necessary to maintain the heat balance within our bodies and b) why it varies among clothing materials. We evaluated the new experimental testing method with existing ones from several perspectives, including the discovery of rules, operability, quantifiability, reproducibility, and the experiment duration. Results revealed that continuous testing of wetting and drying property can reproduce the conditions present when students wear certain items of clothing, enabling the students to discover that both wetting and drying property are concurrently required.
