Home economics is one of the required subjects from elementary school to high school education in Japan. Especially, both boys and girls have begun to learn this subject since 1994 at high school. Nowadays, home economics education is expected for building a new society promising gender justice for both women and men. Thus, educational system changed more equitably than before. However, teaching and learning situations may be biased by gender still these days. Furthermore, there may be an implicit sexism in teachers' perspectives towards home economics. According to above mentioned educational background and research interest, the purpose of this study is to clarify implicit gender bias within home economics education. The number of 122 elementary school teachers answered questionnaire about their opinions on home economics, and compared home economics to something using metaphor. In addition to the research of elementary school teachers, narratives of 3 female high school home economics teachers from interview were analyzed. Fifty-one percent of teachers compared home economics teachers to mother. One of the reasons that they compared home economics teacher to mother was their image of home economics teacher who doing cooking and sewing. Another reason was that home economics teacher looked soft and kind, having warm atmosphere. Female teachers also recognized their image as mother by themselves.
