This article discusses the problem of which group—business teachers, social studies teachers, or home economics teachers—is more consumer oriented and thus a more appropriate choice for the teaching of consumer education. In this study, each of these three groups of teachers was surveyed to determine which was more consumer oriented in attitude and which was more consumer oriented in terms of their appraisal of the educational relevance of consumer issues.
