This was my class on Home Economics Curriculum. Our tutor, Ms Chin gave a great overview of Home Economics here. I am beginning to see the subject in a broad overview.
The history of Home economics were also covered. It explains the rationale behind the subject and how over the years, its requirement changes to having the subject mandatory for both boys and girls.
We were exposed to to SOW or known as Scheme of Work and Lesson Plan and the differences.
As our first assignment, we were tasked to prepare a SOW of 5 weeks for the lower secondary that has a theme for example Racial Harmony. We have till the end of Week 4 to submit.
The best part of this session was the view of Home Economics by our colleagues.
We had a group sharing and my group consisting of Jay, Gmah, Farah, Yvonne and myself talks about how Home Economics was created for both gender with one basic objective for the better you and I be it as a woman or a man for future's purpose or as a life skill.
In a nutshell, Home Economics that has a wide spectrum from cooking, to sewing to finance and food safety, is a Jack of all trade and Master of Everything.
