Abstract
The study was conducted to investigate the perception and satisfaction of nutrition education by elementary school students. Questionnaires were distributed to a total of 327 students at three elementary schools in the Ulsan area in July 2010. Fifty-two percent of the respondents were satisfied with the teaching tools/audio-visual materials for nutrition education. Compared with other lectures, 46.5% of the students responded that nutrition education was more interesting. Average scores for necessity of nutrition education was 4.02/5.00, and willingness to participate in re-education lecture was 3.80/5.00. Seventy-seven percent of students answered that they would encourage friends to participate in nutrition education. Average scores for necessity of nutrition education and willingness to participate in re-education lecture were significantly (p<0.01) higher in the student group that was satisfied with the teaching tools/audio-visual materials and lectures. Students who were satisfied with the tools/audio-visual materials and those interested in nutrition education had significantly (p<0.01) higher average scores for improved dietary habits from nutrition education contents compared to other students.
