A conception of global home economics educationSmith, Mary Gale January 1990 (has links)
Living in an increasingly complex and interdependent world has prompted many educators to call for infusing or integrating a global perspective across the curriculum. Such action, to be ethically defensible, demands conceptual clarity and the exposure of theoretical underpinnings and basic values. Integrating a global perspective and home economics education is investigated through conceptual analysis and conception construction. The purpose of this study is to develop and defend a conception of global home economics education by exploring the following research questions: Is a global perspective implicit in the mission of home economics? Is global education implicit in home economics education? What are the places of citizenship education, education for cross-cultural understanding, consumer education, and environmental education in home economics education? What is global home economics education? And what justification or rationale can be offered for global home economics education? Findings indicate that a constructivist global perspective (Coombs, 1988a) is implicit in the mission of home economics (Brown & Paolucci, 1979), that a constructivist global education is implicit in the conception of home economics education developed by Brown (1980), and that the various educations can offer complementary approaches to global problems. A conception of global home economics education is proposed that is an expansion of existing work (Brown, 1980), and advocates the systematic integration of global education and home economics education, confirms the practical problem orientation recommended by Brown, and adopts the strategy of practical reasoning. Implications for curriculum development, teachers, teacher education, and schools are briefly explored with suggestions for further research. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate

The factors associated with economic literacy among black South Africans and the significance of teaching and learning the economic sciencesZungu, Zacheus Ngcebo Dumisani January 1994 (has links)
Submitted in Fulfillment or Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of
MASTER OF EDUCATION In the Department of Philosophy of Education
of the University of Zululand, 1994. / The focus of this study is in the sphere of the Philosophy of Education. The research was conducted mainly in Black schools in the Mehlwesizwe and Nseleni circuits, within the juris- diction of the KwaZulu Department of Education and Cultureon order to investigate the performance of pupils in commercial subjects and the perception of pupils and teachers in these subjects. The researcher has established that the offer of a commercial subjects' package in Black schools has always been a privilege, not a necessity, for the purpose of fulfilling the objectives of the apartheid system. This has resulted in a lack of economic productivity among pupils.
Pupils should be introduced to the commercial world by the private sector in order to give them more insight into its workings. There has been little involvement of this kind in schools; and the researcher believes this is essential for productivity and a sound understanding of an economic system.
The authors of commerce text books, especially Accounting, Business Economics and Economics delay in updating information in textbooks; and pupils therefore study irrelevant material. This the researcher believes contributes substantially to the failure of education to meet the expectations of the business world. Education fails thus to attain its objectives in this field.
Most Black entrepreneurs have an inadequate commercial background and thus their businesses are not smoothly run. It is therefore essential to prepare potential businessmen for the commercial world as it exists. This can be done by providing guidance in schools in the commercial stream.
Methods of research included: literature study - the researcher consulted jrelevant books (both prescribed and recommended sources), periodicals, newspapers, magazines, addresses and speeches. Relevant data was extracted. The researcher consulted teachers and parents; and interviews were held with prominent figures in education. A questionnaire was designed and used.
Furthermore, the researcher recommended among other things that the Department of Education should ensure that both general science and commercial subjects are offered and given equal status at post-primary school level. .fill schools should be provided with teachers who are well equipped with a high level of expertise to handle these subjects.

A Critical analysis of the secondary school economic science curruculumZungu, Zacheus Ngcebo Dumisani January 2002 (has links)
Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Education in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the Department Of Curriculum and Instructional Studies at the
University of Zululand, South Africa, 2002. / The economic sciences curriculum is supposed to equip learners with skills
that would be readily recognised and acceptable to the corporate world. Yet it
became obvious from the high unemployment rate of leamers with economic
science background that the expected skills were less developed than
expected. School leavers need to be retrained for them to be able to carry out
elementary tasks like bookkeeping. It is the inadequacy of the present
secondary school curriculum to produce employable school leavers that
prompted this inquiry.
The main objective of this study was to investigate the relevance of the
economic science curriculum to the needs of the corporate world. The study
revealed that lack of participation by all relevant stakeholders in the
development of a curriculum creates the gaps between the schooling system
and the corporate world. The lack of resources and poor communication
between business and education also contributed to the unemployability of
school graduates. There is, therefore, very little congruence between what is
taught and the world of work.
Several recommendations to address the problem were put forward. The
most important of these recommendations is .the establishment of
partnerships between education and vocational skills may be fused.
Economic science education needs to be given prominence in all schools
including those in rural environments where given subject advisors seldom
visit
