Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of undergraduate programs was undertaken to create a current portrait of Family and Consumer Sciences programs and to determine whether common ground exists among the various academic units particularly in the area of curriculum content. The thirty four schools having accreditation with SACS and AAFCS were chosen as the population to be studied. Two lists of curricular element categories were created to evaluate the programs: a 28 item list derived from historical categorizations used in professional journals and educational reporting and a 16 item list taken from the national standards for FCS in secondary programs. The subject matter categories or curricular elements were used to evaluate the course titles and course descriptions of a unit's course catalog. Using a content analysis, curricular elements were identified as present or absent in the curriculum of the FCS units examined. Elements included in the curriculum of a majority of the FCS units were determined to constitute the common ground or knowledge base among FCS units. The answer to the research question, "Are there common curricular elements that constitute a general consensus regarding the body of knowledge for Family and Consumer Sciences higher education programs," is a definite "yes." Specifically, 85% or more of the programs included child development, family studies, nutrition, clothing, foods, resource management, food service management, merchandising, early childhood education, human development, and textiles. Further, 70% or more of the programs also included education, equipment and furnishings, and housing. This high level of common offerings reflects the core of the FCS body of knowledge. This study of undergraduate programs was undertaken to create a current portrait of Family and Consumer Sciences programs and to determine whether common ground exists among the various academic units particularly in the area of curriculum content.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Introduction to Family and Consumer Sciences provides an overview of the Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) field to students entering the discipline in higher education. The purpose of FCS, what majors, minors, and certificates are available, and a description of college norms and expectations are described. Why do some students set career and life goals and fail at them and others set goals and achieve them? Understanding values and how they shape what goals are set in students' lives is explained as well as how successful people go about achieving their goals. Students ultimately learn how to set goals to guide their lives into the best direction for them to successfully achieve personal, financial, and career aspirations. Additionally, the history of Family and Consumer Sciences is explored to better understand how the field began and where it stands today. Current careers available in each area of FCS are looked at so students have an understanding of what opportunities are available once graduated in their specialization. Finally, a philosophical approach to the field is reviewed to gain insight as to why they personally are entering this field; what they have to offer the discipline and how that can be reciprocated by a satisfying and rewarding journey."--Back cover

Download or read book Students Perspectives about the Value of Family and Consumer Sciences written by Kristy J. Keaton and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family consumer sciences education (FCS) has been incorporated into education since the beginning of the public education, but it is currently being undervalued and removed from the curriculum at schools and universities. The purpose of this project was to see what students value in FCS education, answering the questions: (a) do the students feel that they understand the content in their FCS classes? (b) do the students feel that they can perform and apply the skills learned in their classes? (c) what do the students believe is the most useful or valuable aspect of the class for home life? and (d) what do the students believe is the most useful or valuable aspect of the class currently or for the future workplace? A researcher-designed online survey using Google forms was completed by students during class time towards the end of the semester-long course. The survey contained both Likert-scaled and open-ended questions. A northern Utah public high school was selected comprising of five foods and nutrition classes. Participants were students ranging from 10-12th grades whose parents gave consent for participation. The results of the survey indicated that most of the students understood and applied the content learned. More than half of the students believed that the content and skills that they acquired in the class would be beneficial for the home and/or in the workplace. The data support that most of the students valued FCS education, and these basic life skills were necessary for their future.

Download or read book Remaking Home Economics written by Sharon Y. Nickols and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An interdisciplinary effort of scholars from history, women's studies, and family and consumer sciences, Remaking Home Economics covers the field's history of opening career opportunities for women and responding to domestic and social issues. Calls to "bring back home economics" miss the point that it never went away, say Sharon Y. Nickols and Gwen Kay--home economics has been remaking itself, in study and practice, for more than a century. These new essays, relevant for a variety of fields--history, women's studies, STEM, and family and consumer sciences itself--take both current and historical perspectives on defining issues including home economics philosophy, social responsibility, and public outreach; food and clothing; gender and race in career settings; and challenges to the field's identity and continuity. Home economics history offers a rich case study for exploring common ground between the broader culture and this highly gendered profession. This volume describes the resourcefulness of past scholars and professionals who negotiated with cultural and institutional constraints to produce their work, as well as the innovations of contemporary practitioners who continue to change the profession, including its name and identity. The widespread urge to reclaim domestic skills, along with a continual need for fresh ways to address obesity, elder abuse, household debt, and other national problems affirms the field's vitality and relevance. This volume will foster dialogue both inside and outside the academy about the changes that have remade (and are remaking) family and consumer sciences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite opposition on several fronts, women were admitted to the University of Georgia for the first time in 1918. The new division of home economics, established within the college of agriculture, provided female students with the opportunity for higher education, something many had sought previously out of state. Their dedication laid the foundation for a century of growth and development in a university program known for its commitment to advancing individual well-being, families, and communities through the generations and the dissemination of knowledge, the education of professionals, and the creation of research-based programs. Over the decades, the number of departments and the variety of degree programs have grown, providing students with an array of career paths. Funded research projects support a multitude of state, national, and worldwide initiatives. International study programs and interdisciplinary relationships with other UGA colleges expand the learning environment and complement the core curriculum. 100 Years Enriching Lives: Family and Consumer Sciences at UGA celebrates this rich and unique history through black-and-white and color photographs, personal journeys, and timeline facts. The 140-page pictorial history chronicles the development of the FACS department from the founding of the division of home economics in the aftermath of World War I through the present day.
