PART TWO


 SUGGESTED ORGANIZATION OF
 CURRICULUM IN HOMEMAKING
 EDUCATION
 PROPOSED DISTRIBUTION OF TIME FOR AREAS IN
 VARIOUS YEARS OF HOMEMAKING EDUCATION
 The proposed distribution of time to be allotted to the va-
rious areas in homemaking education indicated below, is recom-
mended by the group of homemaking education teachers who
prepared this guide.
 It is recommended that, in the first and second years of
homemaking education, the large areas, CLOTHING and
FOODS, be placed in different semesters, and the shorter areas
be placed to fit the local situation.
 Proposed Length
 Curriculum Area of Time
Homemaking Child Development 2- 3 weeks
Education I Clothing 10-12 weeks
 (required year) Food and Nutrition 10-12 weeks
 Housing 3- 4 weeks
 Personal Growth and
 Family Relationships 4- 5 weeks
Homemaking Child Development 3- 4 weeks
Education II Clothing 10-12 weeks
 Family Economics 2- 3 weeks
 Food and Nutrition 9-11 weeks
 Home Care of the Sick 2- 3 weeks
 Housing 3- 4 weeks
 Personal Growth and
 Family Relationships 3- 6 weeks
 All of the suggested areas in the third year of homemaking
education cannot be successfully completed on one school year
since one of the major objectives for pupils in this course will
be to develop increasing skills. Pupil needs and pupil-teacher
planning will determine the choice of areas. The length of time
allotted to any one area should not be less than six weeks nor
more than one semester.
