BEd (Hons) Home Economics and Food Studies - IE348
1.
Objectives
This programme aims at enhancing the content knowledge and the pedagogical skills of
Home Economics teachers who will be primarily involved in the teaching of Food and
Nutrition/Food Studies at upper secondary level. In order to make the teaching and learning
process meaningful and enjoyable, teachers need a good mastery of their subject area and
various teaching and learning strategies as well as relevant attributes and predispositions.
Hence, this programme provides a realistic balance between pedagogy and subject studies,
building on the knowledge, attitudes and skills developed during the Teacher’s Diploma
Home Economics programme to further foster knowledge and skills in nutrition, food
science, consumer studies, pedagogy and research methodology. It is anticipated that upon
completion of this programme, the trainees will be empowered to teach Home Economics
at lower secondary level and Food Studies at HSC level.
