Nuffield Home Economics: teachers' guide to the basic course
The Basic Course of Nuffield Home Economics was designed for students aged 11–14. The project was supported by the Nuffield Foundation and devised in collaboration with trial schools and with industrial consultants.
The teachers' guide was designed to provide maximum support to help teachers to interpret the project's materials and to achieve its aims and objectives. The authors made no assumptions about previous scientific knowledge but gave detailed accounts of many scientific concepts.
