List of Contributors 361-380 Preamble The objective of any programme at Higher Education Institute is to prepare their students for the society at large. The University of Delhi envisions all its programmes in the best interest of their students and in this endeavour it offers a new vision to all its Under-Graduate courses. It imbibes a Learning Outcome-based Curriculum Framework (LOCF) for all its Under Graduate programmes. The LOCF approach is envisioned to provide a focused, outcome-based syllabus at the undergraduate level with an agenda to structure the teaching-learning experiences in a more student-centric manner. The LOCF approach has been adopted to strengthen students’ experiences as they engage themselves in the programme of their choice. The Under-Graduate Programmes will prepare the students for both, academia and employability. Each programme vividly elaborates its nature and promises the outcomes that are to be accomplished by studying the courses. The programmes also state the attributes that it offers to inculcate at the graduation level. The graduate attributes encompass values related to well-being, emotional stability, critical thinking, social justice and also skills for employability. In short, each programme prepares students for sustainability and life-long learning. The new curriculum of B.Sc. (Hons) Home Science offers the students to gain the requisite knowledge, skills and aptitude in all the areas of Home Science. Home Science has adopted an ecological approach in its curriculum that engages the student through teaching, research and extension. They gain and provide employment in research organizations, food and textile industries, dietetic practice, education and child development domains, accreditation of green buildings, strategic planning and communication technologies. They are prepared to take higher education in their specialization. The University of Delhi hopes the LOCF approach of the programme B.Sc. Hons Home Science will help students in making an informed decision regarding the goals that they wish to pursue in further education and life, at large. 1. Introduction to B.Sc. (Hons) Home Science Home Science has contributed a great deal towards national development by training students to take up leadership roles in extension and community outreach programs. The students are encouraged to develop a scientific temper. Familiarizing them with the use of newer technologies, methods in family and community linkages and sustainable use of resources for human development are the hallmark of education in Home Science. As a discipline, Home Science integrates the ingredients of the sciences, social sciences and technology to facilitate the study of and enhance the quality of human life. Its approach is therefore inherently interdisciplinary. Traditionally, Home Science has adopted an ecological approach in its curriculum that engages the student through teaching, research and extension. The education process in Home Science underscores the importance of the individual’s dynamic relationship with his/her family, community and society as a whole, as well as with the resources in the environment. Higher education learning in Home Science subjects provides students the opportunity to sharpen their capacities with a sense of social responsibility. In contemporary times, Home Scientists promote capacity building of individuals and communities for social and economic empowerment. They train community women and youth from various strata of society for entrepreneurship. Many Home Scientists have done exceptionally well as entrepreneurs themselves. They do not remain job seekers but have also become job creators. They gain and provide employment in research organizations, food and textile industries, dietetic practice, education and child development domains, accreditation of green buildings, strategic planning and communication technologies. Keeping in view the growing aspirations of today’s youth and the capacity of Home Science discipline to deliver, the present 3-year Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) curriculum has been drawn. Years of national and international experience in the field has contributed to the wisdom that all the five windows of opportunity that Home Science offers be opened for i.e. Food and Nutrition, Human Development and Childhood Studies, Resource Management and Design Application, Development Communication and Extension and Fabric and Apparel Sciences. In this course, the students will learn the fundamental principles and foundations of all the five areas. They are expected to internalize the principle of a Home Scientist, that is, to give back to the community from which they draw, for sustainable 1 development. This is a major contribution of Home Science in both developed and developing societies. 2. Learning Outcome Based Approach to Curriculum Planning 2.1 Nature and Extent of the Programme in B.Sc. (Hons) Home Science The degree is awarded on the basis of demonstrated achievement of outcomes of knowledge, skill and community interventions and academic standards expected from Home Science. Learning outcomes specify what graduates completing a particular programme of study are expected to know, understand and be able to do at the end of their program of study. This approach allows for flexibility and innovation in program design and syllabi development, teaching learning process, student assessment at different levels and periodic program review. 2.2 Aims of Bachelor Degree Programme in B.Sc. (Hons) Home Science The aims of the B.Sc. (Hons.) Home Science are to: - Enable students with knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to do community work in all areas of Home Science - Ensure global competetitiveness and excellence in theory and research. - Prepare the students for master's program in their respective specialisation. - Train the students to take science from lab to community to improve quality of life of people. 3.
