Book Description
In Slovenia, nutrition education is included in the compulsory education curriculum of the nine-year elementary school. The aim of nutrition education is for schoolchildren to acquire knowledge on nutrition to help them form healthy nutritional habits. This research aims at establishing whether the formal nutrition education carried out at schools influenced children's nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and nutritional habits. The research included 630 11-year-old children from 28 randomly selected schools. During the research, Grade 6 children of the nine-year elementary school on average listened to 38.6 hours of nutrition contents, which are planned in the curriculum for home economics. At the beginning and at the end of the school year, a knowledge test was used to assess their nutrition knowledge. Through a questionnaire, the researchers established their attitudes to healthy eating and nutritional habits. Immediately after completing nutrition education, the children's behavior did not show a statistically significant change, and the connection between the newly-acquired nutrition knowledge and consumption of meals and various foodstuffs was negligible. In the researchers' view, formal education improved the nutrition knowledge of children, but had no significant influence on their attitude to healthy eating habits and their nutrition behavior immediately after the education was completed. However, the researchers did establish that children formed positive attitudes towards healthy eating habits, although they were less frequently applied in practice. To achieve goals of children's nutritional education, the researchers suggested an increased number of nutrition education hours, supported with the positive example of teachers and the school setting that ensures the availability of healthy food. (Contains 5 tables.).

ISBN: 3031447921
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
This open access volume is a collection of full papers based on the peer-reviewed presentations accepted for the European Researchers in Didactics of Biology, ERIDOB 2022 conference. ERIDOB aims to bring together researchers in didactics of Biology from Europe and around the world to share and discuss their research work and results. It is the only major international conference whose focus lies exclusively on biology education research, and all the papers are written by international researchers from across Europe (and beyond) which report on a range of contemporary biology education research projects. They are all entirely new papers describing new research in the field. Each paper has been peer-reviewed by experienced biology education researchers and the members of the ERIDOB Academic Committee. The selected papers are collated within the following categories of biology education: · Teaching Strategies and Learning Environments · Students’ Knowledge, Conceptions, Values, Attitudes and Motivation · Outdoor and Environmental Education · Biology Teachers’ Professional Development By providing a collection of new research findings from many countries, this book is a great resource for researchers and practitioners such as school, college and university biology teachers' around the world. It is useful for training biology teachers and therefore valuable to teacher training institutions.

Book Description
This report presents the outcomes of a scoping review conducted to identify and map existing evidence on the effects of school food and nutrition policies on health-related outcomes in children of school age as part of the initial preparation for undertaking the guideline development process by the WHO Nutrition Guidance Expert Advisory Group (NUGAG) Subgroup on Policy Actions. In order to align with WHO’s Nutrition-friendly Schools Initiative (NFSI) framework, school-based food and nutrition interventions were assessed in terms of the impacts in four key policy areas, namely – the school community, the school curriculum, the school food and nutrition environment, and school nutrition and health services.
