  2. Integrating Family Life Education Instruction across the HDFS Curriculum • Hamon & Smith (2014)- sample of 71 undergraduate program representatives • NCFR’s ten substance areas for CFLE provide helpful standard for shaping required curriculum in FS • While FLE Methodology is one of ten substance areas, it had the fewest endorsements as being a “content area required of all students in program” (45.2%)

  3. Integrating Family Life Education Instruction across the HDFS Curriculum • How we teach FLE in our HDFS program • Developmental approach • (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th year) • Introduce elements (purpose, goal setting, single lesson plan, risk and protective factors) • Across curriculum • Foundations of Marriage and Family, Interpersonal Relationships, Parenting, Marital Relationships, Strategies of Family Life Education • Handout of sample assignments

  8. HDFS 242 Parenting • Collaborative Learning/Teaching Activity (p.4) • Unrelated to Parenting Lesson • In groups, students research a specific parenting topic/problem (e.g., temper tantrums in preschoolers, child proofing house) and develop creative learning activity for teaching about the topic. • Helps to emphasize the need to use a variety of multiple intelligences when relating information.

  9. HDFS 355 Marital Relationships (service-learning course) • Marriage/Couple Education Program Evaluation PowerPoint Presentation (pp. 5-6) • Need for assessment and evaluation in FLE • In groups, students research a particular relationship education program. Learn all they can about the program. Identify what program creators’ see as related risk and protective factors. • Use Duncan and Goddard’s (2005) guiding questions to evaluate program. • Create10-12 slide PPT– overview of program and evaluation of it.

  11. HDFS 442 Strategies of Family Life Education (writing intensive course for major) • Needs Assessment Paper (p. 7) • Reiterate the need for a research base, comprehensive understanding of topic/population, risk and protective factors • Research and write 8-10 page APA paper: succinctly cover literature on topic and chosen population. • Review the literature. • Identify risk and protective factors. • Include information about target population. • Offer coherent rationale on need for the proposed program.

  12. HDFS 442 Strategies of Family Life Education (writing intensive course for major) • Goals and Objectives (p. 8) • Emphasize the centrality of doing something with a purpose, that needs to be measurable. • Draft goals and objectives for proposed FLE program. • See the relationship between goals and objectives. • Make sure objectives are measurable and see how they can be used in the evaluation process of the project. • Receive feedback from peer group and professor.
