In this qualitative study, we explore the potential of an innovative case study approach in a personal finance course among college students with the goal of making the course inclusive for students who are from economically disadvantaged families and traditionally have unsuccessful experiences in math. Students were required to create their own cases based on their unique, diverse backgrounds. Student reflections on their personal case study projects underwent thematic analyses. Our analysis documents the benefits and barriers perceived by students in this unique case study implementation, which has implications for promoting inclusive teaching in personal finance course design and delivery.

The Critical Science Approach (CSA) was developed in 1979 with the intent to create a consistent conceptual identity unifying the Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) profession's philosophy, knowledge, and practice. This systematic literature review examines empirical CSA research published between 1979 and 2022 to better understand what the CSA means for the profession. A total of 71 articles met the criteria with the CSA highly integrated in 22 of those articles. Results illustrate a need for increased CSA scholarship, continuity in keyword usage within the CSA language, and collaboration among preprofessional programs and professional organizations to support and sustain a CSA paradigm shift.

This mixed methods study investigated the effectiveness of work-based learning (WBL) experiences in secondary Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) programs, focusing on bridging the gap between secondary education and workforce readiness. Participants included secondary FCS teachers from public middle and high schools in Texas. The findings highlight WBL integration challenges due to varying levels of awareness, training, and industry partnerships among FCS educators. Enhancements in teacher training and stronger industry–education partnerships are recommended to improve the quality and diversity of WBL, aiming to better prepare students for dynamic workforce demands.

The goal of this study was to examine how social anxiety contributes to romantic relationship formation and whether technology may be used to assist this process. Participants completed an online survey (N = 242); individuals who scored moderate or higher in social anxiety on the Liebowitz social anxiety scale were invited to participate in an anonymous online chat (N = 41). Quantitative and qualitative data revealed that socially anxious individuals reported more confidence speaking to romantic interests virtually than in person. Social media appears to be a tool for socially anxious individuals to ease stress associated with romantic relationship formation.

This study's purpose was to determine if passing the technical skill attainment test predicted Missouri Family and Consumer Sciences students' postsecondary placement. Using quantitative data obtained from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education from 2015 to 2019, data from 8622 students enrolled in at least one Family and Consumer Sciences class were analyzed. Results indicate Family and Consumer Sciences completers who pass their technical skill attainment have a statistically significant relationship with postsecondary placement in either a related career field, higher education with a related major, or the military. Findings also reveal some inequities among race and ability status.
