An assessment of nutrition education needs and learning preferences of students in grades 5, 8, and 11 was conducted to target instruction toward areas of highest need and strongest interest of students using teaching methods they prefer. This research evaluated students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, including knowledge of the new Food Guide Pyramid; attitudes about school lunches and learning about nutrition; nutrition topics of interest; and preferred methods for learning about nutrition. Although results varied across grade level, generally students need to learn about the Food Guide Pyramid; the relationship between dietary fat, weight status, and health; and food sources of fat, salt, and fiber. They want to learn about personal health--how to control weight, improve diet, and prevent disease--using instructional methods that actively involve them. Results provide information relative to students' interest, understanding, and application of the Dietary Guidelines.
对五、八、十一年级学生的营养教育需求和学习偏好进行了评估，以便使用学生喜欢的教学方法，针对学生需求最高和兴趣最强的领域开展教学。本研究评估了学生与《美国膳食指南》相关的知识、态度和行为，包括对新食物指南金字塔的了解；对学校午餐及营养学习的态度；感兴趣的营养话题；以及了解营养的首选方法。尽管不同年级的结果有所不同，但总体而言，学生需要了解食物指南金字塔；膳食脂肪、体重状况与健康之间的关系；以及脂肪、盐和纤维的食物来源。他们希望通过积极参与的教学方法来了解个人健康——如何控制体重、改善饮食和预防疾病。研究结果提供了与学生对膳食指南的兴趣、理解和应用相关的信息。
