본 연구는 초등학교에서의 식생활 및 영양교육의 활성화 방안을 모색해보고자 초등학교 교사들을 대상으로 학교교육과정에서의 식생활 및 영양교육 실태와 인식 등을 알아보기 위하여 실시되었다. 대부분의 교사들은 주로 실과 및 체육 과목을 통해 식생활 교육을 실시하고 있었으며 학생들의 수업 참여도도 보통이상의 수준인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 학교 교육과정에서의 식생활 및 영양교육은 곡 필요하며 효과가 큰 것으로 인식하고 있었다. 그러나 교사들을 대상으로 한 영양교육 관련 연수 참여 기회가 매우 적고, 영양교육 자료와 시설의 부족 및 교사의 전문성 부족으로 인해 학교에서 식생활 교육을 실시하기가 어렵다고 생각하고 있었다. 그리고 학교에서 식생활 교육이 활성화되기 위해서는 식생활 교육 내용이 실과 교육 과정에 보충되어져야 하며, 가정과 학교가 연계하여 식생활 교육이 실시되어져야 한다고 하였다. 이에 초등학교 교사들을 대상으로 한 다양한 영양교육 관련 연수 프로그램 등이 실시되어져야 하며, 교사와 학부모가 협력하여 식생활 및 영양교육을 함께 실시할 수 있는 체제가 마련되어져야 할 것으로 여겨진다.

If we may practice the nutrition education planned on the basis which carefully grasped the inappropriate behavioral determinants of middle-school students, it might be an effective method achieving the change in perception and behavior improving the distorted perception about the ideal body shape, so we are to suggest the 8 week program of body shape perception improvement for successful nutrition education as follows. The body shape perception improvement program is a step-by-step group consulting program. At the introduction stage, we let them understand the meaning of true beauty and body change of teenage period and forming of sexual identity. At the stage of perception conversion, we let them have the opportunity to observe the status of body perception of the teenager and self-observation. At the stage of correction, we let them criticize the distorted body image in the society with mass media at the same time with the self-reflection. At the stage of maintenance and evaluation, we suggested the behavior guidance while preparing it. Setting this as the basis, we applied the contents such as the evaluations through cultural sharing events making somethings while directly participating. As the target groups to practice education were middle school students, we considered the learning level and behavioral features of the middle school students, and composed the programs including the methods such as role play, watching real things, media production, discussions and experiences. If the program of body shape perception improvement developed at this study could be utilized at the field of schools, the teenagers can change their ways of thought naturally avoiding the view about unified appearance rightly perceiving negative self-image that the teenagers can have and if the group consulting can be practiced regularly at each school, many students may experience the change in perception, so it might solicit the improvement of health of the families and local societies as well as that of the individual student.
