The purpose of this study is to examine the learning contents of the housing field of home economic education given at senior high schools. Some university students were chosen for our questionnaire survey so as to analyze the contents of the housing sector of home economic education at senior high schools as well as to find out how they viewed this part of home economic education. The results are as follows : 1) More than half of the respondents had studied it only insufficiently in their high school days. 2) Those who admitted its usefulness tended to recognize the necessity of learning it. 3) The respondents' view of housing education greatly varied, to wit, what they had learned may not be what they wished to learn or what should be taught. It is to be noted that those contents which they considered important were related to social viewpoint, and that the majority of respondents felt the need to deal with housing issues or problems as well as housing policy. To some up, the contents which the respondents considered important for home economic education in high schools would be useful for social life. On the basis of this report, we will further try to clarify what stands in the way of introducing better contents with a view to improving the housing education curriculum at high schools.
