The LPW concept is viewed as shown in the statement that "Wisdom subsuming cognitive processes and its outcomes directed to practice in lifeworld which enables us to integrate subjective living actions." The practical problem based homemaking curricula in the USA which are based on the theory advocated by M.M. Brown are characterized to aim at the formation of LPW. There are differences in real conditions and methods of formation of LPW in these curricula due to living actions viewed to be the most significant from the aspects consisting of purposive-rational action, communicative action and emancipative action. However, each curriculum places a high value on well-being of the individuals and families, special qualities of constructing contents around perennial practical problems in order to confront human life, organizing thinking processes lead to actions, and clarifying the thread of exploring problems through the learning of practical reasoning. These curricula have fostered the acquisition of sound cognitive abilities of the realities of life from a holistic perspective, ethical value judgement and decision making considering the effects on others, and self-formation of individuals.
