Thus the interpretation of the text What is home economics education? is approached as a hermeneutical task to show how significant the text is towards understanding the topic, while also revealing its limitations with regard to the experience of being home economics teachers or parents, to the meaning of being teachers or parents, and to a language of pedagogy for home economics that does not encompass the familial words such as caring-for, belonging-to, being-with.","The paper concludes with further questions that invite the reader to participate in continuing conversation on the topic, home economics pedagogy, and is it teachable or only experienceable?","Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:00:52Z (GMT).
