The latter is made possible through Integrating the course with the stu dents’ experiences in the occupational world. Witli the activities of the homo and the life of the family as a focusing point, students have lind a chance to explore and experiences the following every-day social relationships, caring for chiidren, snfe-gnnrdiiig licalth ai.d -:,ring for Ft- ^lok the f::milic; and the wounded in school accidents. Too. the student:.- studied their problems from both the individual point of view and the family point of view, in tlie management and use of family resnuroes.
