Homemaking Education of Returned Students from Overseas

本研究从三个角度进行考察，作为留学生家政教育主题链条中的一环。首先，研究了留学生家长对海外家庭生活的实际状况和意识，以及他们对家政教育的认识程度。其次，调查了日本中小学生家长对海外家庭生活的实际状况、意识以及他们的持家思想。第三，对在美日本学校就读的儿童进行了家庭生活和家政教育认知的问卷调查。父母对子女的教育和海外的日常生活感到不安。孩子们在海外时不太参与家务劳动。曾经和现在都在国外生活过的父母对家政教育都不太感兴趣。根据年龄、居住年限、居住国家等因素，将其家政观念分为四种类型.孩子们一般都能接触到富裕的社会和教育环境。孩子们做家务的总体比例很低。他们认为，家务有助于日常生活，男孩和女孩都应该学习。通过这些调查，确定了经历过跨文化的人在家庭生活条件和家政意识方面具有的特点。在未来，我决定继续研究这个主题。

This study examined from three viewpoints as a link in the chain of the theme about homemaking education of returned students from overseas.
