This paper aims to clarify the effects and goals of home economics educational methods program by constructing a model on home economics teachers' capabilities and by analyzing students' goals for constructing home economics course based on their self-evaluation of a trial lesson practice and a description of peer evaluation. 1. Home economics teachers were expected to have an ability to prepare a lesson and practice it much like what other teachers are expected. Additionally, home economics teachers are strongly expected to have an ability to create course material that are connected to everyday life. It was also shown that teachers' adaptation to social change and them having citizenry attitudes were unique to home economics education. 2. Adaptation to social change and citizenry attitudes were found when students attempted to create course material. Students, however, were lacking ability to incorporate them in actual classroom setting. 3. Through a trial lesson practice, students were able to recognize class plans and objectives including teachers' appropriate and flexible responses to students. Part 2 will analyze the improvement over subject recognition and students' perceptions.
