The direct objective of these subjects was to train girls in skills for the household and to contribute to the cultivation of ladies' morals. But, from the viewpoint of content and method of instruction, these subjects played an important role in conjunction with instruction in practical life. After World War II, by the first edition of the "Course of Study for Upper Secondary School" all subjects concerning home economics (including "Sewing" and "Household Work") became free elective subjects for both sexes. But in some high schools, some subjects in the area of home economics were required for female students. In the "Course of Study" which was revised in 1955, it was desired that female students take more than 4 credits in the area of "Home Economics". In 1960 the revised "Course of Study" expected female students to earn 4 credits of "General Home Economics," and expressed the view that the object of this subject was to train girls for wifely duties. In 1970 the revised edition of "Course of Study" required all female students to learn "General Home Economics". This requirement for girls only contributed to the promotion of sex role consciousness and has been supported by conservatives. But in the 1970s, some Home Economics teachers began to teach "General Home Economics" in coeducation from, repulsing the suppression of governmental authorities. In 1979 the United Nations adopted the "Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women". The Japanese government signed the convention in 1980, and the National Diet ratified it in 1985. According to this convention, by the "Course of Study" which was revised in 1989, the discriminations against female students in curricula would be abolished. The new "Course of Study" required all students in high schools to take one subject from among "General Home Economics (Katei-ippan)", "General Life (Seikatsu-ippan)", and "Techniques for Living (Seikatsu-gijutsu)". The objectives and contents of these subjects were all directly concerned with practical life. In the near future a conjugation of instruction with practical courses in upper secondary education might be possible.}, pages = {269--287}, title = {高校教育課程における実生活との結合と乖離と : 「家庭一般」女子必修方式解体によせて}, volume = {36}, year = {1990} }
