  • Effectiveness of Secondary Family and Consumer Sciences Programs (1985-2004) Browne, Lorna B. Myers, Lori Gentzler, Yvonne S. Hausafus, Cheryl O. Consumer Science Secondary Education Public Education Instructional Effectiveness Program Effectiveness Literature Reviews This article highlights results of a review of available literature (1985 to 2004) to substantiate the effectiveness of family and consumer sciences (FCS) secondary-level public school programs. Commissioned by AAFCS, the study found limited research-based evidence supporting the impact of secondary FCS programs. In addition to recommending more research with students to substantiate the effectiveness of FCS education, the researchers encouraged AAFCS to: (a) establish a central database to facilitate access to research conducted with secondary-level FCS programs; and (b) work to have the title "family and consumer sciences" listed as an official subject heading with the U.S. Library of Congress.
