This competency-based preservice home economics teacher education module on clothing needs of individuals is the third in a set of four modules on consumer education relating to textiles and clothing. (This set is part of a larger series of sixty-seven modules on the Management Approach to Teaching Consumer and Homemaking Education [MATCHE]--see CE 019 901-967.) Following the module objective and overview, three units of instruction are presented: (1) clothing for various ages (includes three lessons on clothing needs, clothing costs, and children's clothes); (2) clothing for the handicapped (includes one lesson on clothing needs, features and sources); and (3) apparel and work (includes one lesson on clothing for occupations/careers and sources). Each lesson generally includes the following elements: narrative summary, suggested activities, and suggested resources (readings). 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].)
