The Professionalization of Home Economics

Emma Seifrit Weigley

327 South Smedley St., Philadelphia, Pa.

The process of professionalization is studied and the attributes an occupation acquires as it becomes professionalized are enumerated. These characteristics include establishment of a professional association with membership requirements designed to keep out the unqualified; control over education for and admission to the profession by current practi tioners, often working through the professional association; possible licensure or certifica tion as a requirement to practice; a name change to give status and prestige to the occupa tion ; and development of a code of ethics with an altruistic or service orientation. Factors in the history and development of home economics are studied and compared to this model. Progress has been made and is continuing to be made in the foregoing areas as the professionalization of home economics continues. (Home Economics Research Journal, June 1976, Vol. 4, No. 4)
