Abstract

Home Economics: A Definition (1979) was written by Marjorie Brown and Beatrice Paolucci to provide conceptual clarity to the profession. Their work resulted in an inaugural mission statement and three conceptual frameworks to guide thinking and practice, known as the Critical Science Approach (CSA). After 43 years, what the CSA means for the profession remains unclear. This qualitative study used a case study design to learn from scholars' historical and present experiences to explore the role of CSA in the profession. The results identify challenges and opportunities as the profession defines the CSA, enhances accessibility, and explores future directions.
