Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
Type d'enseignement qui élargit l'ancienne notion d'enseignement ménager en y introduisant un certain nombre de connaissances de base en vue de satisfaire des besoins économiques, sociaux et culturels de la communauté. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9conomie%20domestique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le Réseau des traducteurs et traductrices en éducation rejette le terme «économie familiale» qui tend à disparaître en raison de la notion de famille qu'il comporte et qui restreint à tort le sens du terme. Quant au terme "sciences domestiques", d'usage peu fréquent, c'est un euphémisme qui peut induire en erreur, car il ne s'agit pas à proprement parler d'une «science». 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9conomie%20domestique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le Réseau des traducteurs et traductrices en éducation recommande le terme plus courant «économie domestique» qui est utilisé par le ministère de l'Éducation de l'Ontario et par celui du Québec. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9conomie%20domestique
