Abstract

This study investigated the effects of a nutrition education program which used children's books, on students' food preferences and eating behavior. The program used seven children's books on the subject of food and nutrition, and included diverse learning activities based on Multiple Intelligences. The subjects were divided into two groups: control and experimental. The control group took only the regular practical arts lessons, while the experimental group took the additional lessons of this program. The results were as followed. First, the food preferences of the experimental group increased for various foods, expecially fish, beans, vegetables, and seaweed, for which their preferences had been low, while their preferences for processed foodstuffs decreased. Second, the eating behavior of the experimental group improved more than that of the control group. Thus, this program had positive effects on the children's food preferences and eating behavior. Programs such as these can help children to participate in learning activities with greater interest, and to learn various subjects in books. In addition, this study suggests that children's books can be valuable materials in nutrition education.

본 연구에서는 아동서적을 활용한 초등학교 영양교육 프로그램이 아동의 식생활에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 식생활을 주제로 한 아동서적을 활용하여 다중지능에 근거한 다양한 활동이 포함된 초등학교 영양교육 프로그램을 개발·적용하여 그 효과를 검증하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 실험집단 아동들은 본 영양교육 프로그램 적용 후 다양한 식품, 특히 기호도가 낮았던 어패류, 콩, 채소류 및 해조류에 대한 기호도가 높아졌고 가공식품에 대한 기호도는 오히려 낮아져 본 영양교육 프로그램은 아동의 식품기호를 바람직한 방향으로 전환시키는데 긍정적인 효과를 보였다. 둘째, 실험집단 아동들은 본 영양교육 프로그램 적용 후 균형식, 편식, 간식, 식사 규칙성, 식사량, 식사태도, 식사예절, 위생에 대한 태도 및 행동이 크게 개선되어 본 영양교육 프로그램이 아동의 식행동을 바람직한 방향으로 전환시키는데 기여하였다고 할 수 있다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서 개발된 아동서적을 활용한 초등학교 영양교육 프로그램은 아동의 식생활에 긍정적인 효과를 가진다고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 아동들이 실과교과를 통해 학습한 영양지식을 실제로 식생활에 적용하여 건전한 식생활을 할 수 있도록 흥미 있고 모두가 참여할 수 있는 다양한 영양교육 프로그램들이 개발되어 교과시간 이외에도 식생활교육이 이루어질 수 있는 기회를 제공하는 것은 실과 교과시간만으로는 부족한 현재의 학교교육 상황에서 초등학교 식생활교육의 목표를 도달시키는데 도움을 줄 수 있으며 나아가 아동들의 영양과 건강 증진에 기여할 것으로 여겨진다. 아동 영양교육은 비만 등을 위한 치료차원의 교육에 앞서 이러한 영양문제가 발생하지 않도록 사전 교육이 우선되어야 하며 이를 위해서는 일반 아동들을 대상으로 적용될 수 있는 다양한 영양교육 프로그램들이 필요하다. 이점에서 볼 때 본 연구는 초등학교 아동들의 바람직한 식습관 형성을 위한 영양교육의 한 방안을 제시하였다고 할 수 있겠다.
