Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the priority of menu management by importance-performance analysis (IPA) of school foodservice menu attributes. Questionnaires were distributed to 448 school dietitians with an official letter, and a total of 292 responses were used for analysis. From the 21 menu attributes, the factors of 'nutrition', 'educational effect', 'capability consideration', 'ease of quality management', 'efficiency', and 'preference of students' were induced from exploratory factor analysis. The levels of importance (p<0.01) and performance (p<0.05) of the 'nutrition' factor were significantly higher with nutrition teachers than school dietitians, while the importance of the 'preference of students' factor showed significantly higher score with school dietitians (p<0.05). As a result of gap analysis for IPA, only the 'efficiency' factor was located in the area where performance was higher than importance, whereas no menu attribute factors were included in the 'concentrate here' area by the usual IPA. Further analysis showed that there should be more effort to improve the performance of an 'educational effect' factor for a school foodservice menu.

본 연구는 학교급식 영양(교)사들이 인식하는 메뉴 속성별 중요도와 수행도를 분석함으로써 학교급식 메뉴 운영 현황을 파악하여 향후 학교급식에서의 효율적 메뉴 운영을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 실시되었다. 2010년 9월 29일부터 10월 19일까지 전국의 학교급식 영양(교)사 448명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 총 292부가 통계분석에 이용되었다. 먼저 총 21개 메뉴속성 항목에 대해 탐색적 요인분석을 실시한 결과, '영양', '교육적 효과', '생산 능력', '품질관리 용이성', '효율성', '선호도' 등 6개 요인이 도출되었다. 메뉴속성 중요도와 수행도에 있어 영양교사들이 영양사들에 비해 메뉴의 영양적 부분에 대한 중요도를 높게 평가하고 있었고(p<0.01), 학생선호도의 경우 영양교사에 비해 영양사들이 인지한 중요도가 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 수행도의 경우 영양 요인(p<0.05)과 교육적 효과 요인(p<0.001)에서 영양교사의 수행도가 유의적으로 높게 나타났고, 전체적인 수행도 역시 영양교사 집단에서 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.01). 학교급에 따라서는 초등학교 영양(교)사의 영양에 대한 중요도 인식 수준이 고등학교 영양(교)사에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났고(p<0.001), 수행도의 경우 영양과 교육적 효과 요인에서 초등학교 영양(교)사의 수행 수준이 중학교와 고등학교에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.001). 영양(교)사가 평가한 학교급식 메뉴속성에 대한 중요도 수행도 분석 결과에서는 전통적인 방법으로 분석한 결과 영양사, 영양교사 모두 시급한 개선이 필요한 영역과 과잉 수행되고 있다고 평가되는 영역에 아무 요인도 포함되지 않아 전반적으로 급식 운영이 효율적으로 이루어지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 gap 분석방법으로 중요도 수행도 분석을 실시한 결과 영양사와 영양교사 집단 모두 효율성 요인만이 중요도에 비해 수행도가 높은 오른쪽 영역에 위치하고 나머지 항목 모두 수행도가 낮은 왼쪽 영역에 위치하여 개선이 필요한 것으로 평가되었다. 추가적인 분석에서 영양사 집단은 영양, 교육적 효과, 학생 선호도 요인에서, 영양교사 집단은 교육적 효과 요인에서 중요도에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 수행도를 보여 우선적으로 개선되어야 할 항목들로 평가되었다. 따라서 메뉴와 연계한 식생활 교육 등 메뉴 운영기법 개선에 대한 보다 많은 관심과 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 보인다.
