McCloat, A. & Caraher, M. (2016). Home Economics as a food education intervention: lessons from the Irish secondary education context. Education and Health, 34(4), pp. 104-110.
Abstract
In this article, we start with a history of Home Economics followed by a discussion of Home Economics in the Irish curriculum, the development of the profession and its pedagogical base; finally, we make a case drawing on the existing literature for home economists as key catalysts in any ‘whole of school’ programme around food and health.
