Abstract: This paper attempts to explore the perspective of philosophy of education from Home Economics subjects. Home Economics subjects that are part of the education curriculum in Malaysia have a clear direction and strategy in realizing the nation's desire to produce balanced and highly skilled human resources. Home Economics is not a trashy subject to be underestimated because, ironically, it supports the philosophy and ideals towards the nation's ambition. Without philosophy, there is no path that can be used as a guide to strengthen the actions and direction of educational philosophy. And without that support, the struggle of technical and vocational education can¡¯t give an impact on the industry and accomplish the aspirations of the nation as a whole. From the perspective of philosophy, the arguments in explaining the importance of knowledge of Home Economics will also be discussed in this paper. ? Keywords- philosophy, education; home economic; technical and vocational education ?
