How to Teach Home Economics with Inadequate Equipment

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to show that home economics can be effectively taught with inadequate equipment, in an undesirable location and with a nominal expenditure. Furthermore, the strain on the teacher, under these conditions need not be too exhausting nor the accomplishments of the class be inferior to that of a well-equipped laboratory group. In addition, this inadequate set-up need not frustrate the pupil enjoyment that the subject should elicit. As a matter of fact, a lack of some facilities should enhance the subject— a point not realized by the general public.|School officials, for instance, are making unfavorable criticism. They say that home economics is too expensive and that the classes are too small for the required financial outlay. Can we challenge these criticisms by proving that adequate and expensive equipment is not a requisite?
