Abstract

This research aimed to suggest an efficient improvement plan for school food services by investigating the operating situation and recognition of menu management in school food services for school food service dietitians (and nutrition teachers) in Chungbuk. A total of 328 questionnaires were distributed to school food service dietitians (and nutrition teachers) in Chungbuk by e-mail in September, 2010. A total of 265 questionnaires (80.8%) were used for the analysis. The highest allocation of nutrients and calories per day in school food services was 1:1.5:1.5 (breakfast : lunch : dinner) (38.5%). The reasoning for applying a flexible allocation of nutrients and calories per day was "considering the ratio of students who do not eat breakfast" (59.2%). And the way to apply the flexible allocation for nutrients and calories per day was "by agreement from the school operating committee in arbitrary data without situation surveys" (86 respondents, 49.4%), and "by agreement from the school operating committee in analysis data through situation surveys" (80 respondents, 46.0%). The operational method of standardized recipes was "cooking management site of national education information systems" (87.5%) and the items included in standardized recipes were menu name, food material name, portion size, cooking method, nutrition analysis, and critical control point in HACCP. The main reason for not utilizing all items of a cooking management site of the national education information system was "no big trouble in menu management even though it is used partly (29.1%). In addition, the highest use of standardized recipe was for "maintaining consistency of food production quantity" (74.0%).
