This competency-based preservice home economics teacher education module on consumer rights and responsibilities is the third in a set of four core curriculum modules on consumer approach to homemaking education. (This set is part of a larger series of sixty-seven on the Management Approach to Teaching Consumer and Homemaking Education [MATCHE]--see CE 019 901-967.) Following the module objective and overview, two units of instruction are presented: consumer rights and responsibilities (includes lessons on consumer rights and responsibilities and the protection of consumer rights); and (2) consumer rights and responsibilities in action (includes lessons on violations of consumer rights and consumer action). Each unit generally includes the following elements: objectives, overview, lesson narrative summary, and suggested lesson activities. A list of suggested resources (readings) for the module is also provided. A module pre/posttest (with answer key) concludes the document. (Workshop proceedings relating to the development of these modules are available in the ERIC system as CE 019 896-899; also available is a module on utilizing FHA-HERO as an instructional strategy to expand and strengthen the home economics instructional programs [CE 019 900].)
