FOREWORD

This bulletin is prepared for teachers of homemaking edu-
cation as a guide for the improvement of instruction in Florida
Schools. It is the product of the thinking of numerous groups
in education such as, administrators, supervisors, teachers,
and teacher trainers. National leaders in the field of home
economics were secured to direct and to focus the thinking of
the group.
Florida has long recognized education for homemaking as
an important part of the total education of youth and adults.
This is evidenced by the State Board Regulation passed in
1924 requiring one year of home economics for girls gradu-
ating from high school. In the April, 1942 issue of the Florida
School Bulletin entitled Programs of Study in Florida Second-
ary Schools, it was recommended that this required year of
homemaking education be taken in the 9th or 10th grades.
This guide becomes the fifth curriculum bulletin that Flor-
ida has prepared to be used by teachers in education for home-
making since the inception of the program in 1910. The cur-
riculum bulletins prepared prior to 1943 were courses of study.
This guide suggests possible scope of the program in home-
making education. It is hoped that the suggested problems and
experiences will help the teachers to plan an instructional pro-
gram that meets the needs of youth today in their participation
in home and family living.

PART ONE

PURPOSE AND USE OF THE GUIDE
The purpose of a curriculum guide is to give direction to a
program, to give emphasis to that which is basic in the field and
to correlate the work done in the state. The teacher uses the
guide to check her thinking and as an instrument in planning
the program to meet the needs of individuals and families in
the specific community where she teaches.
This guide has been prepared to point the way for teachers
in homemaking education to serve as a tool to them in creating
an environment where pupils may have learning experiences in
all areas of homemaking and where they may reach the high-
est degree of satisfaction and skill according to their abilities.
The objectives in all areas in this guide have been arranged
alphabetically according to groupings, i.e., abilities, apprecia-
tions, attitudes, understandings. They are not arranged in terms
of any sequence.

GENERAL OVERVIEW
The function of the homemaking education program in the
school and community is to provide opportunity for pupils to
gain experiences which serve as a direct means of meeting the
day-to-day needs of home and family living.
Pupils coming into the homemaking education program for
the first time are in a period of adjustment and change as they
move from early adolescence to late adolescence. Due to the
changes in growth, the pupils may seem awkward and self-
conscious. They are eager to feel the security of being one of
the group. It is important that the teacher have a sympathetic
understanding of pupils of this age group in order to gain their
confidence and to help them to meet their needs; that she be
aware of the background of pupils in order to give effective
guidance; and that she know enough about counseling processes
to handle the more elemental situations effectively.
The teacher of homemaking education has a great challenge
and responsibility to plan and provide learning experiences which










Avill help the pupil to gain an understanding, a point of view, and
abilities and skills to meet, with some degree of satisfaction,
problems caused by changing social and economic conditions.
With such an understanding the pupil will be able to make his
best contributions to his family group and to the community.
When planning experiences which will meet the needs of the
pupils, one should take into consideration that a pupil should
start where he is, educationally, and proceed as he is able.

To have a real experience, the activities planned must be
purposeful and must be completed. The teacher will need to
keep this in mind when assisting pupils to select and plan their
learning experiences. An effective program in homemaking
education requires that experiences be provided in the school,
the home, and the community.

The teacher should become familiar with and recognize that
community interests, culture, traditions, and economic resources
are factors which should influence the instructional program
in homemaking.

In planning experiences for all areas, management, health
and safety, buying, relationships, guidance, and leadership
should be emphasized. The Future Homemakers of America
and the New Homemakers of America are integral parts of the
homemaking education program which afford opportunity for
developing leadership and for working with others, and which
provide an avenue for group planning and carrying out the
kinds of activities which the pupils will experience in the
community.

The teacher must be aware of the changes and developments
taking place in the various areas of homemaking education.
These should serve as a challenge to her to be constantly well-
informed, to keep up-to-date materials for all areas in conven-
ient, readily accessible locations.

The homemaking department should provide an environ-
ment in which aesthetic needs and impulses of the pupils can be
satisfied and expressed and should exemplify a desirable home
situation as to beauty, convenience, and comfort.
2










A successful homemaking education program depends not
only on demonstrations of good standards and planned pro-
cedures of work for both pupil and teacher, but also a con-
tinuous self-evaluation of the pupil's work. Evaluation is the
process of making judgments and coming to decisions. This
should be done with the pupil rather than to him, and in terms
of his ability. It should be continuous, with the major purpose
being to improve learning.

SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS
This guide offers suggested direction for the reorganization
of the homemaking education curriculum. A program compre-
hensive in scope is planned for each year offered in high school,
particularly Homemaking Education I and Homemaking Edu-
cation II. Homemaking Education I continues to be the year
required of girls, a State Board regulation since 1924, for grad-
uation from high school. In the program of studies for high
schools in Florida, it is recommended that the required year
of homemaking education be placed early in the high school
program, preferably in the ninth or tenth grades. The first
year course is elective for boys. In this guide it also becomes
a prerequisite to all succeeding years of Homemaking Education
except Homemaking Education IV.

Homemaking Education II is designed for those interested
in greater understanding and increased abilities in homemaking.
It is required as the second year in a vocational program in
which two years is a minimum.

The offerings as indicated in the third year will meet the
needs of older girls in school. It is an elective, but the prob-
lems and experiences are progressively more advanced. The
problems and experiences should also be suggestive for pro-
grams of out-of-school groups of older youth and adults.

The suggested offerings for Homemaking Education IV are
organized so that problems and experiences are those which
begin where the pupils are and so that pupils may progress to
the greatest extent possible according to the abilities in the
time available. It is so designed that both boys and girls, re-










gardless of background, will find valuable guidance in prob-
lems pertinent to their individual needs.

MATERIALS OF INSTRUCTION
The numbers listed at the end of each area refer to books,
bulletins, and audio-visual materials which should be helpful
to the teacher and pupils when considering this area. The ma-
terials of instruction are alphabetized by authors in "Part
Three" of this guide and these materials are numbered. In-
stead of giving, at the end of each area, the titles of instructional
materials suggested for each area, numbers referring to those
materials are listed. By turning to "Part Three, Instructional
Materials" and referring to the numbers listed at the end of
each area the teacher can secure the information needed re-
garding each piece of instructional material referred to by
number.

STATEMENT OF BELIEFS REGARDING HOMEMAKING
EDUCATION FOR HOME AND FAMILY LIVING,
EDUCATION FOR HOME LIVING AND FOR
HOMEMAKING, AND HOMEMAKING AS
A VOCATION
Our statements of belief regarding homemaking education
for Home and Family Living, Education for Home Living and
Homemaking, and Homemaking as a Vocation are based on
the assumption that good homes are basic to sustaining a
democracy.
I. Education for Home and Family Living
We believe that:
1. If standards of home and family living are to be raised
and maintained, education for home and family living
must be continuous from childhood through adulthood.
2. Organized educational programs for this type of edu-
cation should be provided in each community.
II. Education for Home Living and Homemaking
We believe that:
1. Education for home living and for homemaking should
be provided for boys and girls, men and women.
4










a. Education for home living should be a part of the
general education of all children in the elementary
grades.
b. Education for homemaking should be a part of the
general education of all youth and adults both in-
school and out-of-school.
2. Each program in home living and homemaking edu-
cation should be planned cooperatively by the teacher,
the participants, and others concerned.
3. The program in homemaking education should be a
comprehensive one including all areas or phases of
homemaking with specialization as one progresses and
one's interests and needs are specialized. It should in-
clude the skills for living-social, manipulative and
managerial.
4. The program should be organized on a year-round
basis with seasonal emphasis on those aspects of home-
making that are seasonal.
5. Education for homemaking should help people:
a. To solve their own home and family problems wisely.
b. To live graciously.
c. To recognize problems that affect home and family
life both in one's community and beyond it and to
participate in an action program which has as its
goal some solutions to these problems.
III. Homemaking as a Vocation
We believe that:
1. Homemaking as a vocation merits recognition as one
having dignity and prestige.
2. The quality of homemaking influences the success of
every individual in his living as well as in his making
a living.

DEFINITION OF SOME TERMS
As a means of facilitating a common understanding of some
terms frequently used by home economists and other educators
the following definitions are given to indicate the connotation
that these terms have when used in this guide.

5










"Home Economics" is a term used here to designate a field
of education.
"Home and Family Life Education" is a program in which
the school, home, and community work together to equip indi-
viduals to become more effective members of the family and
community in a democratic society.
"Homemaking Education" is a program of organized ex-
periences designed to lielp in-school (secondary) and out-of-
school groups in the solution of their family living problems in
the home, school and the community, and to assist them in as-
suming responsibilities of homemaking.
"Home Living" is a program centered on home activities
and relationships that will enable the elementary pupil, accord-
ing to his individual capacities, to adjust himself to his
environment.
"Curriculum" is composed of planned experiences which the
individual has under the guidance of the school.

"Evaluation" is a means of determining the progress being
made toward the attainment of goals set up by the individual
and it should be continuous.

"Scope" indicates the range and variety of learning pro-
vided in any given lesson, unit, area or field of home economics.

"Sequence" is a regular or orderly succession of experiences
in a continued series of learning.

"Area" is a grouping of facts, generalizations, information
and experiences centered around any one aspect of homemaking.

"Phase" is a segment of an area.

"Experiences" indicate purposeful action resulting in some
sort of consequences which can in turn serve as a guide for
future behavior and which will enable the individual to refashion
the ideas that he had previous to the experience.

"Activities" are characterized by a doing. When the activ-
ity is purposeful, it becomes an experience.

6










"Ability" signifies the power to do based upon both ca-
pacity and training.
"Skill' denotes the ability to perform some particular thing
competently.

OVERALL OBJECTIVES FOR THE HOMEMAKING
EDUCATION PROGRAM IN FLORIDA
IIomemaking Education shares with other fields of educa-
tion the responsibility for the continuous personal growth of
the learners in the direction of independent, unbiased thinking
and purposeful action. Through provision of vital, meaningful
experiences, homemaking education helps the pupils to effect
desirable changes in their home and family living.
IIomemaking Education should assume major responsibility
in assisting individuals to make progress, according to their
maturity levels, to develop:
ability to use wisely, available human and material resources
such as time, energy, health, money, attitudes, and
understandings
ability to use effective methods and procedures leading to
development of skills in homemaking
appreciation of the importance of homemaking as a voca-
tion which requires careful preparation and continuing
training if it is to be carried on effectively
appreciation of the skills of homemaking and growth in
ability to increase competency in such skills
appreciation of beauty as it exists in the environment, and
growth in ability to create an attractive and pleasing
environment in the home, recognizing and using poten-
tial resources
understanding of their responsibilities as members of family
and community groups in a democratic society, and
growth in their ability to participate as members of such
groups
understanding of the relationships and practices necessary
to achieve physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual
health for themselves and other family members
understanding of changing social and economic conditions
as they affect home and family living.










PART TWO


SUGGESTED ORGANIZATION OF
CURRICULUM IN HOMEMAKING
EDUCATION
PROPOSED DISTRIBUTION OF TIME FOR AREAS IN
VARIOUS YEARS OF HOMEMAKING EDUCATION
The proposed distribution of time to be allotted to the va-
rious areas in homemaking education indicated below, is recom-
mended by the group of homemaking education teachers who
prepared this guide.
It is recommended that, in the first and second years of
homemaking education, the large areas, CLOTHING and
FOODS, be placed in different semesters, and the shorter areas
be placed to fit the local situation.
Proposed Length
Curriculum Area of Time
Homemaking Child Development 2- 3 weeks
Education I Clothing 10-12 weeks
(required year) Food and Nutrition 10-12 weeks
Housing 3- 4 weeks
Personal Growth and
Family Relationships 4- 5 weeks
Homemaking Child Development 3- 4 weeks
Education II Clothing 10-12 weeks
Family Economics 2- 3 weeks
Food and Nutrition 9-11 weeks
Home Care of the Sick 2- 3 weeks
Housing 3- 4 weeks
Personal Growth and
Family Relationships 3- 6 weeks
All of the suggested areas in the third year of homemaking
education cannot be successfully completed on one school year
since one of the major objectives for pupils in this course will
be to develop increasing skills. Pupil needs and pupil-teacher
planning will determine the choice of areas. The length of time
allotted to any one area should not be less than six weeks nor
more than one semester.

Areas in the fourth year in homemaking education should
be developed cooperatively by the teacher and the pupils with
the counsel and advice of others interested in such a course
and should be developed in terms of the problems which are
significant to the members of the group at the time the course
is offered. The length of this fourth year course may be either
one semester or a year depending upon the needs and interests
of individual groups. The amount of time devoted to each area
should be determined by the needs of the local situation.

HOMEMAKING EDUCATION I
CHILD DEVELOPMENT

OVERVIEW

Because the field of child development is so broad in scope
and is continuously changing, and since communities vary in
viewpoint, practices and understandings in the care of children,
it is important that the teacher plan the approach and develop-
ment of this area so as to make the greatest contribution to:

stimulating interest in improved guidance of younger
children
improving understandings of the role of adults and older
children
building up desirable habits and attitudes in young children
with whom they come in contact
developing insights of how behavior is frequently built up
or reconditioned

The individual should understand the patterns of physical
growth, the social needs of the infant and small child, and that
these two processes of growth are continuous and dependent
upon environment. It is the purpose of this area to give a better
understanding of and to create greater interest in the growing
child. Major emphasis should be given to the age groups of
children with whom the pupils have contacts.

OBJECTIVES
To develop:
ability to guide the social activities of the child
ability to select and improvise suitable materials for
entertainment
interest in and a liking for young children
understanding of the importance of nutrition, rest, exercise
and elimination to the fundamental growth patterns of
infants and small children











SUGGESTED PROBLEMS AND EXPERIENCES


Problems
How can we develop a gen-
uine interest in children?










What are the physical needs
of the small child and how
can I help him meet these
needs?


Experiences
Relate stories about ones own
childhood and about other small
children pointing out amusing
and interesting incidents and
show how these enable one to
understand children better.
Select some small child from
own family or from family of
neighbor or acquaintances for
direct observation while child
development is being studied.

Discuss and list the physical
needs of the pre-school child to
determine what particular be-
havior is to be observed in re-
lation to the selected child's
needs.
Organized committees report on
the following:
1. Foods essential for a good
diet of the pre-school child.
2. Conditions which make meal
time pleasant.
3. How to introduce new foods
into the diet of a pre-school
child.
4. The factors which influence
the choices a child makes in
food.
Use information obtained to ob-
serve selected child, and report
findings to class. Plan ways to
improve one food practice ob-
served, and if possible assist the
mother of the child in carrying
out these suggestions.













































What do I need to know if
I am a good "baby sitter?"


Discuss the need of the pre-
school child for sleep and rest.
Determine from observation of
the selected child how well he
is meeting this need. If he is
not meeting this need, discuss
how the child could be helped to
meet this need.
From general knowledge of
health practices, discuss the im-
portance of regular elimination.
. Find out and report when train-
ing in toilet habits were begun
by the observed child; if regu-
lar habits have been established,
find out how they were estab-
lished. Compare habits of the
observed child with those sug-
gested in references.
Discuss the importance of play
in the development of the pre-
school child. Observe the play
of the selected child noting the
kinds of games and activities
enjoyed. Determine how well the
child is meeting his physical and
social needs for play. Suggest
other games and activities the
pre-school child might enjoy.

From experiences of "baby sit-
ters" in the class, cooperatively
list responsibilities of a "baby
sitter." Consult mothers of
young children and girls who
have cared for children in homes
o f acquaintances. Summarize
their opinions as to desirable
precautions and rules of conduct










to be followed when taking care
of children for others.
Assemble a "toy pack" one
could carry with her if she were
going to care for a child for the
evening. Explain the reason for
selecting each toy.

HOMEMAKING EDUCATION I
CLOTHING AND TEXTILES

OVERVIEW
A pleasing appearance will enable pupils to make more
satisfactory individual adjustment thus aiding in developing a
feeling of security. It must be recognized that guidance and
counselling are necessary in helping the pupil to make this
adjustment.
Changes in styles and grooming practices of this age group
must be recognized in order to guide them in approaching their
goals in personal appearance without adopting standards of
adults. The teacher who fails to understand and accept the
current fashion of "teenagers" may be placing a barrier be-
tween pupils and herself.
The high school pupil will need guidance in developing good
clothing practices even though she may have definite ideas as
to what well dressed "teenagers" should wear. It should be
recognized that the attractiveness of the teacher and of the
department will aid in acceptance of good clothing and art
principles.
It is necessary that pupils become aware of changes taking
place in the field of textiles and clothing. Pupils should be
helped to realize that kinds of materials and special finishes
are changing. Some knowledge of old and new textile fibers,
fabrics, and finishes is necessary for intelligent buying. Because
construction methods need to be adapted to new fabrics and
changing styles, new standards may be needed for evaluating
construction skills.
It is apparent that greater emphasis will need to be placed
on development of skills, not only in clothing construction, but
also in changes and uses of equipment; and also in the selection,
purchase, care and storage of clothing. With the purchase of
new garments and fabrics, more attention will need to be given
to improved uses of the clothing dollar. In many cases girls will











need to be able to sew in order to contribute to the family income
and at the same time enjoy the satisfaction and joy of creating
and expressing individuality. Since greater skill is usually
required in the successful remodeling of an old garment, prob-
ably the pupil should do only very simple renovating. Those
pupils with a background of home experiences in sewing might
be permitted more difficult projects. It is advisable that all
pupils be made aware that refashioning of clothing is a thrift
practice worthy of their attention.
The entire clothing area should be planned cooperatively
between teacher and pupils by using immediate problems as
teaching situations which may take place in the home, school,
and community.

OBJECTIVES

To develop:
ability to construct simple, attractive, well made garments
ability to evaluate performance in terms of goals set up
cooperatively
ability to make simple pattern alteration
appreciation of fabrics in relation to selection, construction,
and care of the individual's own garments
appreciation of the satisfactions derived through expressing
individuality in creative activities
judgment in buying, taking into consideration advertise-
ment, labeling, finishes in fabrics and construction
skills in use and care of tools and equipment needed in
clothing work
understanding of the relation of good grooming to successful
living and to develop skills in making the most of ones
self
understanding of the principles of line, color, and design,
and their application to clothing and accessories






SUGGESTED PROBLEMS AND EXPERIENCES


Problems
How can my personal
pearance contribute to
attractiveness?


How can I select my cloth-
ing successfully?


Experiences
Develop a personal grooming
check sheet, analyze own indi-
vidual characteristics and make
plans for improvement and
check progress. Determine activ-
ities which will contribute to im-
proved personal appearance.
Observe a demonstration by a
competent person of applying
make up and of hair styling
suitable for teen-age pupils. Ex-
periment with ways of applying
make up suitable to ones self.
Study and experiment with ap-
propriate hair styling which is
becoming to different types and
decide on suitable styling for
one's self.
Discuss importance of using own
comb, hair brush, lipstick, and
powder puff and make plans to
improve habits. Report progress.
Experiment with colors to de-
termine which are most becom-
ing for each individual. Plan to
use these colors in ones ward-
robe. Select different figure
types from class members and
experiment with different lines
and design finding those most
becoming to one's self. Deter-

HOMEMAKING EDUCATION I
FOOD AND NUTRITION

OVERVIEW
Since adequate food and application of the principles of
nutrition help determine not only the health of an individual
but also the enjoyment which he receives from his daily living,
the study of the principles of nutrition is an important one
for the young homemaker to make.
It has been pointed out that good nutrition contributes to
good health. Pupils can make a valuable contribution to good
health by becoming better informed so that they may more
easily solve their own food problems and may help in solving
those of their families. The teacher can aid individuals to solve
these food problems by helping the pupils to make practical
application of their knowledge of nutrition.
A major aim of the food and nutrition area in the first year
of homemaking education is to develop ability in planning,
marketing, preparing, and serving simple, well-balanced meals.
It is believed that the pupils should be made aware of the im-
portance of retaining all the food values and of using the basic
principles of food preparation whenever food is prepared.
Serving a meal affords an excellent opportunity for teach-
ing and applying acceptable social patterns. The food and. nu-
trition area offers many and varied opportunities for the pupil
to develop graciousness and poise in social situations through
carefully selected learning experiences.
Because of the need for conservation of foods, it is ad-
visable that some food conservation be included in the first year
course. At the beginning of the school year it would be wise
for the teacher to acquaint herself with the foods available in
the community and to plan for the conservation of such foods.
When planning learning experiences for the food and nu-
t';ion area, the teacher needs to keep in mind the fact that
t*1",e experiences may be secured not only in school but also










in the home and in the community. With each phase of class
work it is important that guidance be given not only to the
application of the principles of management, safety and health,
but also to the wise use of resources and to the development of
satisfactory personal relationships.

OBJECTIVES
To develop:
ability to apply basic food preparation principles wherever
and whenever food is prepared
ability to care for and store food
ability to plan, select, prepare, and serve in an attractive
manner simple nutritious meals
ability to select and buy nutritious food within the income
available
ability to use acceptable social practices in eating
understanding of desirable methods for conserving food
understanding of existing desirable food patterns in the
community and an ability to supplement these for nu-
tritional adequacy
understanding of factors which influence the nutritional
needs of individuals

HOMEMAKING EDUCATION I
HOUSING

OVERVIEW
Evidences of the ill effects of poor housing on the family
have caused housing to become of national, state and community
concern, not only as a place of shelter, but also, as a place for
creating the proper environment for the development of all
members of the family in a democratic way of living.
The shifting of homes during and since the recent war has
shown us that houses are not the whole answer to the housing
problem. An important answer is the tranquility that must
exist within the walls of the house and the rapport that must
exist within a community of houses.
The home should be a bulwark against social insecurity, a
place where the child may develop physical, mental, social, emo-
tional arid spiritual health.
The public schools have a responsibility to provide educa-
tion for improved housing. An important contribution to this
aspect of education can be made by homemaking education
through its program and its department. The homemaking edu-
cation department should exemplify characteristics of a desir-
able home situation as to beauty, convenience and comfort. The
skills in living-social, manipulative, and managerial-may be
achieved through its program.
Pupils entering their first year of homemaking education
in the high school come with varying backgrounds in educa-
tion and in home experiences; some have had an introduction
into the study of housing through the integrated course, "Every-
day Living"; some come from homes with a rich background
in housing experiences; while others come with limited expe-
riences in housing.
OBJECTIVES
To develop:
ability to make simple repairs in the home











ability to share in the responsibilities of daily and occasional
care of the home
appreciation of services of modern household equipment
which can be used most efficiently in homes
appreciation of the importance of attractive home surround-
ings to family and community living
recognition of the factors in good housing which contribute
to satisfactory home life and to the development of the
members of the family
recognition of what is desirable in ones home for increased
family comfort and satisfaction, and to develop the abil-
ity to make simple alterations or rearrangements
understanding of basic principles of color and design as
applied to the home understanding of the value of order-
liness in the home

SUGGESTIONS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL LEARNING
EXPERIENCES FOR BOYS IN HOMEMAKING
EDUCATION I

Our changing pattern of family living emphasizes the need
for all members of the family regardless of sex, to have a
better understanding of the meaning of and to participate more
effectively in home and family life. There is increasing need
for schools to provide opportunities for boys to have courses
in homemaking education as a part of the regular school
program.

Homemaking Education I as offered in the secondary schools
of Florida is an elective course to boys for which they may
receive high school credit. Some few schools now offer home-










making education for boys either in separate classes, or in mixed
classes, or in exchange classes.
Although Homemaking Education I is a comprehensive
course, including areas of concern and interest both to boys and
to girls, there are some problems in it that are of greater interest
to girls than to boys. In general, the objectives and problems
will be the same for both boys and girls, with the exception of the
food and clothing areas. For example, different experiences
for boys should be provided in the area of clothing during the
time that the girls are working on garment construction. In
all areas of Homemaking Education I, however, the majority
of the problems suggested in the course are as applicable to
boys as to girls; though in some few areas, the problems for
boys and girls may need to differ or different experiences may
be required for the same problem.
Homemaking education teachers should be aware of boys'
problems as well as those of the girls'. High school boys, if
they are shy and if they feel that they are not socially com-
petent may suffer more than is usually realized. Many boys
could receive group or individual help through homemaking
education classes.
In developing a functional program the homemaking educa-
tion teacher, when she has boys as well as girls in class, should
include some additional experiences which are particularly
applicable to boys.
The experiences which follow are representative of those
which have proved successful in homemaking education classes
in which boys have been enrolled.

younger children in decorating the home for holidays and other
special occasions. Plan for and assume responsibility for deco-
rating on such occasions in home, school, or community.
Investigate community to find out the kinds of services pro-
vided by various community organizations and other agencies
concerned with the welfare of children. Cooperatively make
recommendations for ways of assisting these organizations in

HOMEMAKING EDUCATION II

CHILD DEVELOPMENT

OVERVIEW
If an individual understands children he will be more ef-
fective in helping them to meet their needs, and at the same
time his satisfaction in working with children will be increased,
and his understanding of his family relationships will be im-
proved. By giving today's children better care, better parents
for tomorrow's children will result and better children and
parents will make for more democratic communities.
Young people who are interested in children and who are
ready for responsibility in the care of children are able to profit
most from instruction. It is the purpose of this area to supply
the training needed for assisting in home care of children, as
well as for a greater degree of effective participation in com-
munity projects in child care. Opportunity should be provided
for pupils to observe young children in everyday situations. A
measure of its success will be the increased amounts of intelli-
gent participation in home and community child care on the
part of young people.
OBJECTIVES
To develop:
ability to select appropriate clothing for the pre-school child
desire to improve home conditions affecting children
increased ability to guide children in approved behavior
patterns
increased ability to help children form desirable habits
increased understanding of some of the factors that con-
tribute to the health and happiness of children
understanding of the desirable ways of working with children
understanding of how the child learns and ability to guide
mental development of the child
understanding of how heredity and environment affects the
physical, mental, and emotional-social development of
the child

HOMEMAKING EDUCATION II

CLOTHING AND TEXTILES

OVEI;VIEW

The problems and exlpi.'?-i,.. in clothing and textiles in
the second year homemaking education classes should be planned
and built on those experiences which pupils have had at home
and in first year of homemaking education.
Pupils of this age are becoming more aware of the clothing
needs of the family-Ir.i.iliiig what clothing could be bought,
what could be constructed, what can be altered or restyled and
what distribution of the money available for clothing should be
made in relation to the total income.
The pupils may need a more thorough study of fabrics, to
help in identification of fabrics, finishes, labels, their uses and
care. This information is needed in solving individual and family
clothing problems.
OBJECTIVES
To develop:
ability to make simple pattern alterations
ability to restyle, refit, and alter garments
increased ability to evaluate work accomplished in terms of
goals set up cooperatively
increasing appreciation of art principles -as applied to cloth-
ing and accessories

HOMEMAKING EDUCATION II

FAMILY ECONOMICS

OVERVIEW
With the changed pattern of family living from producing
goods and services in the home to buying goods and services
for the home, there is need for cooperative planning in the
use of the family income. The family income includes goods
produced and services of the members of the family, as well as
money income.
The homemaking education program should provide the op-
portunity for developing an understanding of the importance
of cooperative planning and the wise use of family resources.

OBJECTIVES
To develop:
recognition of the need for making wise choices in the use
of one's time, energy, and money
recognition of one's responsibility for contributing to the
family income through goods produced, services rendered
or money earned
skill in the management of resources in school or out of
school
understanding of the importance of cooperative planning
for the use of family resources
understanding of the meaning of economic resources of the
family
understanding of the relation of the family income to the
basic needs of the family

HOMEMAKING EDUCATION II

FOOD AND NUTRITION

OVERVIEW

The food and nutrition area in the second year course must
begin at the level of learning which the pupil has reached;
not the level which the teacher thinks he should have
reached. Previous learning experiences serve as a foundation
for determining the starting point of this area. The pupil will
need to progress from simple food preparation learned in the
first year of homemaking education to the preparation of meals
for the family group. An important emphasis for this year
should be planning the family's food around the needs of the
family as a unit.
How to select nutritious meals away from home as well as
how to prepare at home meals which form a part of an ade-
quate day's diet are some of the needs of the pupil which should
be considered in this second year of homemaking education.
How food contributes to optimum health and efficiency is an
understanding for which both teacher and pupil should strive.
Attention should be given to developing some skill in the
preparation of food in quantities. These skills may be acquired
through entertaining, or through cooperating with various clubs
and organizations or the school lunch program. Pupils should
gain an increasing knowledge of an appreciation for the use of
Florida grown foods, and of the food patterns of Florida cul-
tural settlements.
In considering food for the family it is expected that pupils
will recognize the need for cooperation between consumer and
retailer when purchasing food and will develop increasing
ability in planning, purchasing, and preparing family meals.
Attention will be pointed toward an enjoyment of the prepa-
ration and service of family meals and the many social implica-
tions that eating together affords.










Some points are as applicable in second year as in first
year course in food and nutrition. The teacher should be con-
stantly aware that learning experiences can be had at home
or in the community as well as at school. In each phase of
work both teacher and pupil should keep in mind the impor-
tance of the application of the principles of management, safety
and health, and also the use of resources and the development
of desirable personal relationships.

The second year of food and nutrition built on many pre-
vious experiences presents a challenge both to teacher and pupils
to be creative and artistic. Food preparation can be a satisfying
experience in self-expression.

OBJECTIVES
To develop:
ability to assist in preparing and serving foods prepared in
quantity
ability to choose a suitable and adequate diet for our fami-
lies and assume some responsibilities for our neighbors
ability to plan a day's diet to meet the daily requirements
ability to plan, prepare, and serve attractive family meals
ability to self-appraise and check health and nutrition habits
appreciation of the fact that the preparation and serving of
food can be a creative, satisfying experience
appreciation of food patterns of varying cultural groups
appreciation of quality and artistic merit in dining room
equipment and accessories
understanding of the fact that food fancies, superstitions,
and fallacies are not based on scientific research
understanding of the importance of cooperation between
consumer and retailer when purchasing food
understanding of the possibilities of using the varieties of
Florida grown foods











SUGGESTED PROBLEMS AND EXPERIENCES


Problems

and maintain good food
habits which will contribute
to optimum health and fit-
ness?

HOMEMAKING EDUCATION II

PERSONAL GROWTH AND FAMILY
RELATIONS

OVERVIEW

Technilogical advances have affected the traditional family
pattern in our society; in this transition to mechanization, youth
feels less secure as he attempts to adjust to these continuous
changes in the home, in society, and in the physical world. Since
marriage and the family are the cornerstones of society and
the units on which government is built in our pattern of civili-
zation, it is necessary that we do our utmost to help guide youth
toward a better understanding of his relationship to the chang-
ing demands of society as they are related to his changing pat-
terns of growth. It is important that he be guided so that he
can sense his responsibilities when his physical growth brings
him to the threshold of adulthood and his increasingly important
place in society.
It is essential that the teacher in this area have an under-
standing of and a sympathetic, tolerant, and interested attitude
toward the individual; that she be aware of his background in
order to give effective guidance; and that she know enough
about counseling processes to handle the more elemental situa-
tions effectively and be able to refer to other persons or agencies
the problems in relationship which she is not qualified to handle.

OBJECTIVES
To develop:
ability to judge personal behavior in relation to social
contacts
appreciation of the increasing responsibility of the indivi-
dual as a member of the community
understanding of the importance of the qualities which lead
to becoming a well-adjusted person

HOMEMAKING EDUCATION IV

(A Special Course for Senior Boys and Girls)
Prior to the offering of this course, the title of the course,
the name of the teacher, and the plan for the development of the
course should be filed with the State Department of .Education
for review.
By the end of the first month of the course, the proposed
problems and experiences should be submitted to the State De-
partment of Education for review.

OVERVIEW
Human relationships are of greatest significance in the home
today. Management in today's home requires skill in guiding the
development of human resources, and skill in organizing, di-
recting, and controlling material resources. Effective operation
of the home requires cooperative planning by the members of
the family.
As family members, older youth today need education which
will enable them to participate effectively in their present home
life, and to develop those attitudes and skills necessary for suc-
cessful participation in their future homes.
A happy marriage is a creative achievement to which young
adults look forward. It does not just happen. It is based on care-
ful preparation and a wise selection of one's life partner, and
requires faithful and constant effort on the part of each.
An instructional program planned for youth, both boys and
girls, should provide opportunities for experiences in the many
areas of homemaking. These include family and social rela-
tions, managing a home, modern housing, furnishings and equip-
ment, care and guidance of children, consumer problems, and
home mechanics. The course should be developed cooperatively
by the teacher and the pupils with the counsel and advice of
others interested in such a course. It should be developed in










terms of the problems which are significant to the members of
the group at the time the course is offered.
This course will be more effective in the high schools if a
comparable program of study for adults is offered in the com-
munity. prior to or concurrent with the offering of the high
school course. The program for adults however is not necessarily
the responsibility of the homemaking education teacher, but is
part of the family life education program of the community.

OBJECTIVES
To develop:
ability to become increasingly self-directive
ability to select and care for clothing that meets individual
needs
realization that marriage involves new opportunities, respon-
sibilities, obligations, and relationships
skill in home mechanics and maintenance
understanding of the factors which contribute to success in
marriage
understanding of the importance of adequate nutrition in
maintaining optimum health
understanding of the influence of adequate housing on fam-
ily and community life
understanding of the influence that spiritual and moral val-
ues held by the family have on the individual
understanding of the need for cooperation of all family mem-
bers in meeting changing family problems
understanding of problems involved in earning and spending
the family income
understanding of the ways in which experiences in the home
affect the personal development of children and youth

CRITERIA FOR SELECTING PROBLEMS
As teacher and students select problems for study, they
should be guided by criteria. In the selection of any problem
to be studied by any given group or groups of pupils, the fol-
lowing criteria should be kept in mind:
1. Is the problem important to this specific group of young
people at this particular time ?










2. Does it provide opportunity for some intelligent social
participation of young people-that is, does it have leads
for something they might do about the problem?
3. Does it have many related problems so that provision can
be made for the interests and needs of those young people
who do not find satisfying possibilities in the specific
problem chosen by the class?
4. Does it lend itself to a variety of learning activities, such
as taking field trips; making interviews; seeing moving
pictures; making maps, charts, posters, or pictographs;
listening to speakers; participating in panel or forum dis-
cussions; or writing a dramatic skit for stage or radio?
5. Does it call for information that is readily available?
6. Is it capable of development at the present level of com-
prehension of the pupils in the class or group ?
7. Does it involve considerable research and use of imagina-
tion so that there is provision for growing interests and
everyone has something to do ?
8. Does the problem provide a central idea that is illumi-
nated by all of the activities carried on?
9. Does it provide for experiences which give young people
the opportunity to develop behavior characteristics sig-
nificant for individuals living in a democratic society-
characteristics such as clear thinking, social sensitivity,
appreciations and creativeness, a disposition to partici-
pate with others in the solution of common problems, and
respect for individuality?1

CRITERIA FOR SELECTING EXPERIENCES
The following definition of learning experiences will assist
in setting up criteria in selecting experiences:
Learning experiences should indicate not only the kind of
behavior involved, that is, analysis, interest, knowledge, appre-
ciation, and the like, but they should also indicate the kind of

content with which the-behavior will deal. The process of ex-
ploring and listing kinds of learning experiences for the curri-
culum will suggest leads regarding both content and method.2

PART THREE

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

The bibliography listed in "Part Three" is highly selective;
not more than six books, exclusive of State-adopted texts, have
been listed for any one area.
All commercial materials have been omitted, not because
there is'a lack of excellent teaching aids available from com-
mercial sources, but because there was not sufficient time to
examine and evaluate the many materials available from these
sources. It is hoped that this source field can be explored fully
when the guide is revised.
The numbers listed at the end of each area refer to books,
bulletins, and audio-visual materials which should be helpful to
the teacher and pupil in considering this area.
The materials of instruction in "Part Three" are alpha-
betized by authors, and they are numbered. Instead of giving
at the end of each area the titles of instructional materials sug-
gested for each area, numbers referring to those materials are
listed. By turning to this part of the guide and referring to the
numbers listed at the end of each area the teacher can secure
the information needed regarding each piece of instructional
material referred to by number.

At least one complete set of all home economics textbooks
is needed for each home economics department. However, text-
books provided for homemaking education on the high school
level will not be furnished at the rate of one copy of each dif-
ferent textbook for each pupil. The plan is to introduce all of
the textbooks listed in such a way that textbooks covering the
many areas of home economics are available for pupil use.
In order to obtain the necessary variety, texts should be
requisitioned so as to include some copies of each title. The total
number of books is not to exceed 45 for a class enrollment of 30,
or an average of one and one-half books per pupil. It is desirable
to check carefully the texts on hand to determine their recency
and usefulness in achieving the goals of the program in home-
making education. Requisition the recently adopted texts and
supplementary materials which will provide materials of instruc-
tion for a comprehensive program.
Some of the home economics textbooks contain material cover.
ing several areas in homemaking education. Some parts of the
text would be excellent to use with pupils enrolled in one course;
other parts would be valuable to use with pupils enrolled in
other courses. The textbook You and Your Money and Child
Care and Guidance might conceivably be used to good advantage
in connection with an advanced class as well as with certain por-
tions of Homemaking Education I.
