Project title:

  • Home economics teachers' perceptions of the function and relevance of home economics in the 21st Century

Supervisors:

  • Dr Geoff Lowe
  • Dr Julia Morris

Summary of thesis:

The aim of this study is to investigate the function and relevance of Home Economics from the perspective of Home Economics teachers themselves, and is pertinent as the Australian Curriculum, including Technologies, is being reviewed from 2021. For this study the focus is on the place of Home Economics within the WA Curriculum. I believe it is important to engage the teachers' voice in determining the current state of Home Economics in WA to inform future change.
