This study is to develop teaching aids in the area of Clothing and Textiles based on cooperative learning as an alternative to increase the quality of Home Economics class. It is very difficult to control students because of noise coming from activities. when teachers teach students with cooperative learning strategy a classroom with restricted space. Sometimes the activities will disturb other classes in the school. which will harm the real purpose of cooperative learning. However. we have more positive results from cooperative learning method. because students have more chance to improve their personal skills. easily solve a problem together and openly express their opinions. Moreover. we found that they understand the subjects and increase their attention much better because they are tested right after learning. We anticipate that the developed teaching aids will be a great help to improve middle school Home Economics class.

The principals were of the similar opinion but the educational professionals wanted dual qualification for both'Technology'and'Home Economics'. As for teaching methodology all 3 groups responded that from the teacher and student perspective the teaching should be divided whereas from the school's perspective the responsibility should be put on a single teacher. 4) Teachers responded that from the perspective of the teacher, parent or student Technology and Home Economics should be separated into taro subjects. On the other hand the principals and educational specialists agreed that from their own perspective Technology and Home Economics should remain an integrated subject and the teaching should be done by one teacher but replied that from the student or parent perspective division of responsibility in teaching would be appropriate.
