초록

본 연구는 경남 일부 초등학교 비만아동을 대상으로 식습관, 영양교육에 대한 인식, 영양지식을 조사하여 분석한 자료를 바탕으로 비만아동의 영양교육을 위한 수업지도안을 개발하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 아동의 신체적 특징으로 신장은 남학생과 여학생 간에 유의적인 차이는 없으며 체중은 남학생(55.0${\pm}$9.0 kg)이 여학생(52.0${\pm}$9.4 kg)보다 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 2. 전체 아동의 83.5%가 영양교육을 받아본 경험이 없다고 답하였으며 80.3%가 영양교육의 필요하다고 답하여 영양교육에 대한 관심도가 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 3. 희망하는 영양교육 내용에는 '체중 감소를 위한 식사조절법(64.7%)', '올바른 간식(12.2%)'으로 조사되었다. 희망하는 영양교육 방법으로 남학생은 '게임(35.4%)', '강의(18.8%)', '조리실습(16.7)', '개인상담(16.7%)' 순으로, 여학생은 '조리실습(25.6%)', '개인상담(25.6%)', '강의(11.6%)', '그림그리기(11.6%)'로 나타나 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 4. 아동의 식사속도는 남학생이 여학생보다 식사속도가 유의적으로 빠른 결과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 5. 운동종목에서 남학생이 '가벼운 레포츠활동(27.0%)'과 '구기종목(25.4%)'을 여학생은 '가벼운 레포츠 활동(47.9%)'과 '걷기(25.4%)'를 선호하여 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 운동장소로 남학생이 여학생에 비해 운동장 등 활발한 장소를 선택하여 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 6. 영양교육 수업지도안 개발은 비만 개선을 위한 올바른 식습관과 영양지식을 교육하기 위해 13차시 분량의 수업지도안을 개발하였다. 개발된 초등학교 고학년용 영양교육 교수 학습지도안은 비만 정의 알기, 자신의 모습 사랑하기, 식사와 관련된 감각 익히기, 식품군 알기, 아침결식개선, 편식개선, 올바른 간식선택, 외식의 8개 대주제와 13개의 소주제로 구성된 13차시였다. 본 연구의 수업지도안을 활용하여 실제로 수업하여 그 효과판정을 하지 못했으므로 그에 대한 후속 연구가 이루어져야 하며 비만인구는 점점 증가하고 세계적으로 문제시되고 있지만 이에 대한 교육방법 개발과 실제 교육은 학교에서 거의 이루어지고 있지 않은 실정이다. 앞으로 비만문제를 단순히 가정에 맡기거나 의학적인 문제로 방치하기 보다는 그 예방차원이 우선시되어 아이들의 교육을 담당하고 있는 학교에서 식습관 관련 수업이 영양교사에 의해서 이루어지는 것이 필요하리라 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to develop a nutrition education curriculum with teacher's guide which includes discretionary activities for obese children. A survey was carried out to investigate the recognition of body image and food behaviors according to the obesity index (mild, moderate, severe) in school children (4~6th grade, 158 boys and 60 girls) who were selected based on a physical examination in May, 2006 in the Gyeongnam province. Next, a nutrition education curriculum with teacher's guide was developed on the basis of the findings from the survey and from preceding researches. The results are summarized as follow. The results of this study showed the existence of some nutritional problems such as overeating, prejudice, skipping meals, snacking patterns, etc, which indicate the need for nutritional management for obese children. Most overweight children (80.3%) showed the most interest in the nutrition education program, particularly with regards to dieting for weight control (64.7%). The developed nutrition education curriculum consisted of 8 main subjects and 13 subtitles. The curriculum was prepared for 13 lessons and included songs and singing, making-up lyrics, games about nutrition, discussions of the experience of eating (satiety, thirst, hunger), debates on dietary habits, writing and others to promote the interest for learning. We aimed to develop this program in an attempt to improve the dietary habits of obese school children. This is very important because once a dietary habit is formed in adults, it is difficult to change and the best adjustable stage is during childhood. Therefore, early nutrition education during elementary school can change and build-up the awareness of health in young elementary school children.
