Development of the ability in implementing lifelong improvement of living -From the viewpoint of fostering leadership in learners-

这项研究的重点是鼓励人们在改善自己的生活方式时发挥领导力。从历史的角度，我们考察了当时农林省的女性杂志文章和活动日志，表明日本和美国的政府和私营部门在现代生活质量改善方面发挥了带头作用。此外，两国的家政学课程都重视通过实际问题教学法发展领导力的理念。例如，家政相关组织“日本未来家庭主妇”(FHJ)和“美国家庭、事业和社区领袖”(FCCLA)举办了全国领导力会议，以培养学生的领导力。由于对FHJ的文件和杂志的描述性分析使用了Misumi的PM理论，全国领导会议的主题在一开始就强调了M功能(团队维护态度)。然而，最近也出现了对P函数(目标实现绩效)的强烈重视。

This study focused on encouraging leadership among people as they enhance their lifestyle. From a historical perspective, we examined women's magazine articles and activity logs of Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry at that time that both the government and private sectors in Japan and the U.S. have led the way to improve the quality of life in the modern era. In addition, both countries had home economics curriculum that valued the idea of leadership development through practical problem approach. For example, home economics related organizations, "Future homemakers of Japan (FHJ)" and "Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA)" have held National Leadership Conference to nurture leadership role in students. Owing to the descriptive analysis of the FHJ's documents and magazines using Misumi's PM theory, the themes of National Leadership Conference stressed on the M function (group maintenance attitude) in the beginning. However, recently, there has also been a strong emphasis on the P function (aim achievement performance).
