Book Description
Excerpt from Home Economics in Elementary and Secondary Schools This book is planned primarily as a text-book for students in special methods courses in home economics in colleges and normal schools. In addition it should be valuable to experienced teachers as it contains discussions of many of the practical teaching problems that they meet in their daily work, as well as a more general study of the purposes and results of home economics teaching. Teachers of special methods courses in home economics have been handicapped because little material on the principles and methods of teaching home economics has been available for use as text or reference books for these classes. This has resulted not only in less effective teaching in these courses, due to the necessity of using a lecture method rather than a problem method in the class, but also in the slow development of a common understanding or interpretation of some of the most fundamental problems in home economics teaching. This book has been written with the hope that it will be of assistance in both of these situations. It is based on several years' experience in teaching a special methods course in which many of the students have been experienced teachers. The point of view that is emphasized and the conclusions that are reached are the results of the discussions carried on in these classes. It is because this material embodies or reflects the consensus of opinion of many persons who have received their training in schools in different parts of the country that it is offered as a first step toward a more scientific study of the teaching of home economics.
