The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

The 1920s was an era of intense through American society. Anumber of key

historical events brought about pieces that allowed for the development of women within

both home and academic communities. Each historical event solidified and influenced

America in the 1920s, as well as home economics programs. Although the establishment of

home economics was earlier in Americas history, the 1920s was a time of focus and

movement propelled by the ending of World War I, the ratification of the Nineteenth

Amendment, the passing of the Smith-Hughes Act, the progressive social movement, and

the establishment of both the Womens Bureau within the Department Labor, and the

Bureau of Home Economics. Each event advanced home economics within colleges and

universities across the country.

Home Economics provided the opportunity for women in the United States to

satisfy various niches within society, creating three of what I deem as types of home

economics programs. Institutions of higher learning presented educational opportunities for

women by providing general curriculum, area specific curriculum, graduate study

opportunities, or a mixture of all three. Offering curriculum in various forms allowed each

institution to provide different outputs of educated women, some teachers, some educators

working with extension programs, and some academically prepared to join the workforce.

The Home Economics is an applied multi-disciplinary subject that provides

students with a wide range of learning, experiences and knowledge, understanding and skills
necessary for living as an individual and as members of a family. The integration

and application of theoretical knowledge combined with the development of practical skills

are at the core of home economics.

As a student of Colegio de Calumpit we experienced difficulties in comes of our

schedule in the kitchen laboratory. Thats why we do this research to know the reasons

behind those difficulties that we experienced and to find a solution on that problem.

The factors that are affecting our performance during kitchen laboratory in

Colegio de Calumpit give us a pressure on what we are performing because we are thinking

about the outcome of the product that we are doing in kitchen laboratory if it is good or

bad? We cant manage our time properly because there are so many interruptions while

were doing our activity.

By this activity the students will enable to be more productive. It also seeks to

explore the student attitude while performing to the kitchen laboratory. We will know the

factors that affecting to the performance of the student in Colegio de Calumpit.
