Abstract
This study is about the current nutrition education by nutrition teachers and dietitians, and their perception of nutrition education. This study was conducted to discover problems in nutrition education and to set a right direction for such education. A total of 216 nutrition teachers and dietitians, in Gyeongnam, were examined. The results were as follows. Exactly 95.4% of the subjects provided nutrition education to their students. They provided indirect nutrition education(69.9%), direct/indirect nutrition education(26.7%) and direct nutrition education(3.4%). 'Nutrition Counselling Room' was the most common means of direct nutrition education, while 'handout' was mostly used as indirect education. 'Desirable food & dietary habits' were the most included curriculum for indirect/direct nutrition education. The reasons for not providing direct nutrition education were 'because of heavy workload'(34.2%) and 'a lack of class hour for direct education'(29.6%). Exactly 52.8% of the subjects said they would actively promote direct nutrition education if they were given a chance. Exactly 83.3% of the subjects responded nutrition education should begin 'during the kindergarten year'. Exactly 64.4% of them said 'establishment of independent nutrition subject' was the most effective nutrition education. Exactly 58.8% of them responded educational curriculum should include 'desirable food & dietary habits'. Exactly 41.2% of them said 'establishment of a systematic educational program' was necessary to launch direct nutrition education. About the effect of nutrition education on changes in students' food & dietary habits, 2.27 scores out of 5 were earned in average. In other words, many nutrition teachers and dietitians believed that the current nutrition education had little effect on students' food & dietary habits.
