Teaching out-of-field in Home Economics: A Systematic Quantitative Literature Review

Donna Pendergast,Sarah McManus,Jay R. Deagon,Anna Du Plessis 한국가정과교육학회 2022 한국가정과교육학회지 Vol.34 No.5

Out-of-field teaching (OOFT) is a global phenomenon impacting student learning outcomes and teacher attrition. Anecdotal evidence suggests that home economics teacher shortages drive OOFT, yet there is an absence of research regarding its impacts. A systematic quantitative literature review (SQLR) was conducted to address this research gap and establish a baseline. The inclusion criteria were secondary school home economics education and OOFT, peer reviewed, full-text, and published in English. The date of publication was not a limiting factor. Nine databases were searched in March 2022 and, following exclusion protocols, 25 papers were retained. The qualifying papers were published between 1979 and 2021 with authors from 13 countries. Five papers focussed exclusively on OOFT and home economics. The most used terminology to describe OOFT was 'qualified/unqualified' (n=19; 76%). A global shortage of in-field home economics teachers was the most reported cause for OOFT (n=17; 68%). Impacts on students included lower-quality teaching experiences. OOF teacher self-efficacy was negatively impacted. The impacts on students, teachers, and schools were found to be interlinked. This study provides a baseline to understand the causes and impacts of OOFT in home economics classrooms. Overall, t here was a p aucity o f data available regarding this t opic, e specially concerning i ts p revalence and reported experiences. This gap indicates the need for further research regarding OOFT in home economics, especially as OOFT is increasingly under scrutiny in all fields of education due to the negative effects on teachers, student learning outcomes, and school operations. The study also affirmed the need for advocacy to ensure policymakers are aware of the negative impacts of OOFT in home economics and act to seek remedies.

알버타 經濟의 發展

이 논문은 1800년부터 현재까지 187년 동안에 걸쳐 이룩된 알버타 경제의 발전을 개관한다. 알버타 경제의 시작은 칼, 총, 모포, 식기, 도끼, 바늘 그리고 술통의 물품을 인디안에게 주고 그 댓가로 동물의 모피를 수집할 목적으로 몬트리올에서 대초원지역(prairie: 캐나다의 중서부초원지역을 가리키는 명칭)으로 왔던 모피교역상인들의 활동에 기인한다. 이들 교역상인들은 초기에는 카누를 타고 내황했으나 나중에는 허드슨 베이(Hudson Bay) 회사로부터 파견된 교역상인들처럼 보다 더 큰 강을 이용하여 요크(York) 보트를 사용했다.

Respiratory Responses during Exercise in Self-contained Breathing Apparatus among Firefighters and Nonfirefighters

Hostler, David,Pendergast, David R. Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute 2018 Safety and health at work Vol.9 No.4

Background: Firefighters are required to use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), which impairs ventilatory mechanics. We hypothesized that firefighters have elevated arterial $CO_2$ when using SCBA. Methods: Firefighters and controls performed a maximal exercise test on a cycle ergometer and two graded exercise tests (GXTs) at 25%, 50%, and 70% of their maximal aerobic power, once with a SCBA facemask and once with protective clothing and full SCBA. Results: Respiratory rate increased more in controls than firefighters. Heart rate increased as a function of oxygen consumption ($V_{O_2}$) more in controls than firefighters. End-tidal $CO_2$ ($ETCO_2$) during the GXTs was not affected by work rate in either group for either condition but was higher in firefighters at all work rates in both GXTs. SCBA increased $ETCO_2$ in controls but not firefighters. Conclusions: The present study showed that when compared to controls, firefighters' hypoventilate during a maximal test and GXT. The hypoventilation resulted in increased $ETCO_2$, and presumably increased arterial $CO_2$, during exertion. It is proposed that firefighters have altered $CO_2$ sensitivity due to voluntary hypoventilation during training and work. Confirmation of low $CO_2$ sensitivity and the consequence of this on performance and long-term health remain to be determined.

Early Childhood Education and Care Policy in Australia: An Insight into Parent Perceptions Posted Online

Recently in Australia there has been a shift towards the increased use of formal early childhood education and care services. Federal, state and territory policy makers have responded with reform agendas designed to improve the quality of early childhood education and care. There are few studies that provide insights into community perceptions of current initiatives in early childhood education policy and their perceived effectiveness with families. This study begins to address this void by examining the perceptions of the community - identified as parents through textual inclusions - with regard to early childhood education and care policies. Data were 199 posts to an online forum in response to an opinion piece about early childhood education. The following key themes were identified in the forum posts: the importance of child care; brain research and early childhood; and, challenges balancing career and family. Findings provide an insight into current issues relevant to early childhood policies in Australia, from the perspective of a self-selected group of community members, in response to an issue related to care and early childhood.

Teaching Food Literacy in Australian Secondary Schools: Skills and Theory to Influence Adolescent Food Behaviours

Sarah McManus,Donna Pendergast,Harry Kanasa 한국가정과교육학회 2022 한국가정과교육학회지 Vol.34 No.5

Dietary behaviours are established during adolescence, making this stage important for adopting healthy lifelong food habits. Schools are highly influential on adolescent behaviours making school-based food literacy education a vital avenue for healthy food behaviour development. This mixed methods exploratory study examined how Queensland (Australia) home economics (HEc) teachers delivered food literacy education through the Australian Years 7-10 Design and Technologies Curriculum. It provides insights into the food literacy education strategies respondents used to enhance adolescents' lifelong healthy food behaviours. An online survey gathered data on food literacy concepts, lesson types, pedagogical approaches, and contextualisation strategies. Qualitative data were analysed using Leximancer and quantitative data through SPSS. Respondents (N = 117) reported teaching a wide variety of food literacy concepts, including food skills and behaviours, food and nutrition knowledge, food attitudes, ecological influences on food, and food decisions. Theoretical concepts dominated teaching time (42%). The most frequently (100%) employed teaching strategy was practical cooking skills. Only 9% reported limiting cooking ingredients to healthy foods. A critical focus was not prevalent. Teachers reported contextualising lessons to (in descending order) food types, health and nutrition, multicultural food, and food business. Results confirmed that Australian (Queensland) HEc teachers delivered a food literacy educational nexus by teaching many food literacy aspects to support optimal food education that links theory/knowledge and skill development.
