The development of home economics education in Japanese elementary school after the World War II and the professional development of home economics: according to the texts owned by Shikanai Tamako

家政教育作为二战后的一门新学科，于1947年被引入日本小学。1949年，小学家政学教育应该废除的观点很流行。为实现民主家庭生活，男童和女童一起研究了反对废除家政教育的运动。在日本决定继续将家政学教育作为一门学科后，文部省采取了出版明确的小学家政学教育教材和扩大家政学教育设备设施的措施。文部省家政教育调查员T·Shikanai女士视察了日本小学的家政教育课堂，并就更好的家政教育向家政教师提供了建议。

Home economics education as a new subject after the World War II was introduced to Japanese elementary school in 1947. In 1949, the opinion that home economics education in elementary school should be abolished was popular. The campaigns against the abolition of home economics education studied by boys and girls together for realization of democratic family life were spread out. After the decision of continuaion of home economics education as a subject in Japanese elementary school, the Ministry of Education took measures of the publication of definite teaching manuals of home economics education in elementary school and the expansion of equipment and facilities of home economics education. Ms. T. Shikanai, the subject(home economics education) investigator of the Ministry of Education, made inspections of the class of home economics education in Japanese elementary schools and advised home economics teachers on the better home economics education.
