More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This curriculum guide for levels III, IV, and V home economics teachers in New York State describes a process for planning and developing home economics courses. Emphasis is placed on the determination of student needs and the enrichment of learnings through participation in the Future Homemakers of America (FHA). The guide begins with a discussion of the following major components comprising this curriculum framework: A design which reorganizes homemaking-family living curriculum into four basic subject areas (Human Development; Housing, Furnishings and Equipment; Food and Nutrition; and Clothing and Textiles) with six content emphases (Management, Buymanship, Leisure, Careers, Health and Safety, and Relationships); scope of learnings charts comprised of behavioral learning outcomes; and modules (guides suggesting experiences that promote behavioral learning outcomes). Next, there are two sections briefly describing how to determine student needs and interests and how FHA related to the curriculum. These are followed by scope of learnings charts that list learning outcomes for the six content emphases within each subject area for levels I through V with the latter three presented in extensive detail.

Finally, the guide describes the development of a course, including examples of both subject area and content emphases course outlines, and presents New York State’s home economics sequence requirements toward high school graduation. An appendix includes forms for compiling student needs data, guides for developing a module and writing behavioral objectives, and information explaining FHA. (EM
