This book was released on 1976 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine competencies that practicing home economics teachers believe future teachers must possess to show proficiency in the area of foods. The objectives were: 1. To evaluate, revise, and expand the competencies that have been identified by the Oregon State University Home Economics Education Department for assessing a student's behavior in the subject matter of foods. 2. To develop criteria in the taxonomic levels of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis and synthesis that would set a standard against which behavior can be judged. 3. To seek professional opinions from secondary home economics educators currently in the field to determine the performance indicators which exemplify competencies necessary for future teachers in the subject matter of foods. Procedures A mail survey questionnaire containing 98 criteria items with a five-point Likert-type scale was used to collect data. The criteria items consisted of foods subject matter content statements. The dependent variable was the score judgmentally assigned by the respondents to each criterion item. This score denoted the level of proficiency they believed a novice home economics teacher should possess. A randomized sample of 250 practicing Oregon home economics teachers were sent introductory postcards asking their willingness to participate in the study. All 131 indicating a desire to participate were sent questionnaires. One hundred-one questionnaires (77%) were returned; 98 were used for data analysis which consisted of factor analysis, using the R- and Q-techniques, and the computation of mean scores and standard deviations, of the criteria items. Selected Findings The Q-technique analysis provided a measure of commonality among respondents as it indicated that secondary home economics teachers resembled one another according to the criteria items in the study. The R-technique analysis generated criteria items with a high degree of correlation into factors. A three-factor solution accounted for 53 criteria items, with two items overlapping in two factors. All items were accounted for as either clustering within a factor with a factor loading of ± 470, or under a factor as a spurious criterion item. The three factors were identified and assigned titles by the researcher as follows: Factor I: Influences that Contribute to Food Choices and Safety in Food Handling Factor II: Preparation Principles of Various Food Groups Factor III: Influences of Chemical Composition and Physical Properties on the Use and Quality of Foods The mean score and standard deviation for each criterion item were determined. Twenty-six criteria items had mean scores of ≥4. 00, 55 had mean scores in the 3. 00-3. 99 range, and 17 had mean scores below 3.00. Conclusions The clustering of criteria items listed in the questionnaire into the factors generated in the R-technique analysis revealed three groups of criteria items that had high levels of correlation. The factors derived from this study may be used as one reference from which to develop curriculum in foods subject matter. In some cases the factors generated overlapped in terms of content and showed a lack of content congruence within a factor. A possible explanation for this occurrence was that the criteria statements may not have been specific enough to clearly group the items into discernible factors. The mean scores derived in this study for each of the criteria items were concluded to be of significance and should be considered in curriculum development in the subject matter of foods.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose of the Study: The major concern of the study was to determine those factors in clothing and textiles, exclusive of clothing construction, which current home economics teachers felt were necessary for novice teachers to be proficient in. The objectives of the study were: 1. To evaluate, revise, and expand the competencies that have been identified by the Oregon State University Home Economics Education department for assessing a student's behavior in the subject matter area of clothing and textiles. 2. To develop criteria in the levels of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis and synthesis that would set a standard against which behavior can be judged. 3. To seek professional opinions from home economics educators currently in the field to determine the performance indicators which exemplify competencies necessary for future teachers. Procedures: A 99-item mail survey questionnaire was developed to collect data. The questionnaire was designed so that secondary home economics instructors could respond to the level of proficiency necessary for each criteria item in relation to their job. The responses were assigned using a Likert-type scale with values of five to one, indicating whether no, slight, moderate, considerable or complete proficiency was needed. A randomized sample of 129 Oregon secondary home economics instructors was selected to participate in the study. Ninety-five (74%) questionnaires were completed and returned, 92 were usable. The questionnaires were analyzed by using analysis of variance and factor analytic techniques. Selected Findings: The R-technique of factor analysis was used to identify common professional education competencies. A three-factor solution extracted 69 criteria items that had factor loadings of ±. 50 or higher. The three factors were identified as follows: 1. Factor (Topic) I: Processes and Design of Fabric and Fiber Construction. Two subfactors (competencies) were identified and named: Ia. The Participant Will Understand the Characteristics and Properties of Fiber and Fabric Construction. Ib. The Participant Will Evaluate the Elements of Design in Clothing Selection. 2. Factor (Topic) II: The Affects of Clothing and Textiles Industries and The Influence of Motives on Clothing Selection. Two subfactors (competencies) were identified and named: IIa. The Participant Will Recognize the Cultural, Physiological, Sociological, and Psychological Motives that Influence Clothing Selection. lib. The Participant Will Evaluate the Clothing and Textiles Industries and Their Affects on the Consumer. 3. Factor (Topic) III: Influences that Contribute to Family Clothing Decisions. Nine out of the ten highest mean ranked criteria items in the study clustered under Factor I. Nine of the ten lowest mean ranked criteria items clustered under Factor II. The highest mean ranked criteria item was recognize the importance of fabric selection when choosing a garment and the lowest mean ranked criteria item was explain the distribution process in textiles production. The Q-mode technique disclosed that secondary home economics instructors resembled each other with regard to the 99 criteria item questionnaire. Conclusions: Seven conclusions are presented based on the data; four selected conclusions are: 1. The three clusters of criteria items identified by this study represent meaningful groups that can be used as a base for identifying more explicitly clothing and textile subject matter necessary for a novice secondary home economics teacher. 2. The competencies and the criteria items provide a means to review offerings to further develop curriculum. 3. The application of factor analysis in the interpretation of data is a useful technique for identifying groupings from different criteria items for studying the subject matter needs of a novice home economics teacher. 4. The criteria items identified in this study provide a better understanding of subject matter needs of novice home economics teachers.
