National Evaluation Systems, Inc., has prepared for distribution by the Georgia Department of Education the set of content objectives found in this Study Guide. These objectives have been verified as important content requirements for initial certification. Not all of the listed objectives have had test items written for them. The selected objectives have not been identified. All objectives which appear here are certification requirements and a sampling of them will be tested. When the project to develop the Georgia Teacher Certification Tests (TCT) was begun in November 1976, an Ad Hoc Committee composed of Georgia educators was appointed to work with NES on each TCT. The function of these Ad Hoc Committees was to review all NES-generated materials with a goal of making the materials more reflective of Georgia education needs. The first step in the test development process was that of content domain specification. Educators identified all content knowledge that an applicant would need to know to function effectively in a Georgia school. This content was further defined into content objectives, which were sent to currently practicing Georgia educators for verification. These educators provided actual ratings of the IIjob-re1atedness ll of the content objectives. At that point, it was possible to identify, from the original domain specification, the extent of essentiality of specific content skills for successful performance on the job. Test items were written for the most essential objectives which spanned the content of the field. The purpose of providing objectives is to explicitly define the content required of an applicant for certification ip this field. further, the statement of these objectives should assist in preparing for the criterion-reference content knowledge test. We encourage applicants to study these materials, which will enhance their understanding of the content field and alleviate any unnecessary concerns about the nature of the Georgia Teacher Certification Tests. Along with these materials go hopes for a rewarding career in education.

Study Guide for TCT in Home Economics Georgia Teacher Certification Testing Program
Field 08: Home Economics Introduction
The suggested references which are keyed to the subarea headings of the published objectives of the Georgia Teacher Certification Test (TCT) in Home Economics should be helpful to educators preparing to take the test. Many suggested readings have been listed for each subarea. The listing of numerous readings does not mean that all are needed to grasp a particular concept or meet a given objective in that subarea. Most of these references are used in one or more of the state approved Home Economics programs in Georgiacollegesl universities. Some of the references are high school level texts. These have been marked with an asterisk (*) for your convenience. You may find these more accessible in your community than the college texts. There are also many other excellent readings which are not listed due to limited space.
If you are taking the TCT in Home Economics for the first time and have completed your home economics coursework, you may wish to review for the test by utilizing a more general text. Several general texts are listed below for that purpose.
