| Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
The primary purpose of this study was to identify whether fourth-grade lesson plan elements deemed important by nutrition and health professionals, as evidenced by the literature, were present in the sample of nutrition education curricula by method of content analysis. A secondary purpose was to identification of the strengths and weaknesses of nutrition education curricula available to teachers. This may help explain the lack of nutrition education school adoption on a large scale (district-wide or state-wide). A total of 12 curricula (132 lesson plans) were analyzed for content using a coding form divided into the following seven categories that enhance appropriate learning and foster healthy behavior: (1) validity, (2) comprehensiveness with regard to content areas and behaviors, (3) issues in teaching methods, (4) parent involvement, (5) teacher support, (6) elements that address knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors and (7) effectiveness..
