This module establishes clothing not merely as a functional covering but as a complex psychosocial artifact reflecting identity and cultural codes, serving crucial roles from protection to status communication. Mastery of garment care techniques is then analyzed as a critical economic and self-management skill necessary for extending utility and maximizing textile investment and personal presentation.

The study of human behaviour begins with the universal reality of scarcity, forcing individuals and societies to make rational choices regarding resource allocation.
We dive into the foundational frameworks of this discipline, differentiating between objective analysis and value judgments, which prepares us for critical engagement with national policy.

This foundational lesson establishes scarcity as the inescapable constraint driving all human economic behavior, necessitating the critical choices that define the discipline.
It structurally distinguishes between the focused market analysis of microeconomics and the aggregate national perspective of macroeconomics, equipping students with the core analytical tools required for the subject.

This lesson introduces the critical conceptual and mathematical tools—from graphs and charts to statistical measures of central tendency—that allow economists to analyze complex societal challenges. By grounding our understanding in the fundamental relationship between unlimited wants and limited resources, we establish the inescapable economic principle of Scarcity, leading directly to the necessity of Choice and Opportunity Cost.

This lesson establishes the scientific hierarchy of five core concepts—Food, Nutrients, Nutrition, Digestion, and Metabolism—by differentiating the physical input (food) from the cellular utilization (metabolism).
It provides a deep theoretical framework necessary for understanding how dietary choices translate into physiological outcomes, utilizing familiar Ghanaian meals to ground complex processes.

This unit establishes foundational analytical skills by treating historical Ghanaian artifacts as primary cultural documents, allowing students to decode complex societal values through material and method analysis. We transition from simple observation to high-level socio-cultural interpretation, connecting ancestral ingenuity directly to contemporary creative practice.

This module conducts a theoretical analysis of how Kente and Adinkra provide the architectural and philosophical foundation for modern Ghanaian identity, moving beyond mere decoration to function as sophisticated systems of historical knowledge. The instruction leverages local iconography to demonstrate the active continuity of ancestral wisdom within contemporary artistic and cultural contexts, connecting traditional processes to modern material innovation.
