Home economics education classes offer a great chance to make students aware of gender bias both in themselves and in society at large, as well as nurture student consciousness and encourage behavior which will be free from such bias. As the first step of this report, the study task on gender was organized along three categories : gender role, gender difference and gender discrimination. Then this study explored issues of lesson conceptualization along the following theoretical lines : 1. Incorporate the following two concepts into a lesson "key concept" : the pursuit of "self-actualization" and the pursuit of "independence". 2. Make use of the following aspect in a lesson : "Think about student's future goals and their occupation". 3. The lesson included topics ranging from the personal issues of the students themselves to issues related to society at large. The 17-hour trial lesson "Gender and ourselves" was developed with this framework in mind. The lesson was attempted to the 1st grade students of a senior high school in Fukui Prefecture. Our observations show that students were generally interested in the lesson, and that the framework and contents of the lesson were helpful for students to pursue deeply the issue of gender equity.
