　The followings were recommended based on the findings and the conclusions of the study. First, it is recommended for the Practical Arts subject teachers to conduct environmental education in various ways such as introducing environment-related jobs, daily work related to preventing environmental pollution, and so on, when teachers are teaching the 'Understanding Family and Work ' area in the Practical Arts subject. Second, the environment contents should be included in all sub chapters in the 'Living Skill' area in the Practical Arts subject. Third, 'Hands-on' education or 'experience-based teaching skill' should be executed in teaching the Practical Arts subject.
