As a result of theoretical research, there are some key points to develop home economics teachers as a model of critical reflective practitioner or good teacher; pre-service teacher training should be designed an introductory phase of continuing professional development, and lesson study as one of Japanese teacher’s culture should be engaged in both pre- and in- service teacher training as a form of pedagogy of investigation.
