Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop the evaluation criteria for a green dietary life education program for improving children’s attitudes towards environment, health and consideration for others and to estimate the educational effect. This green dietary life education program was continued for 11 weeks (12 times) in 150 fifth grade elementary students in Chungbuk area from April 28, 2014 to September 19, 2014. The education program and questionnaires consisted of table manners and children’s attitudes towards environment, health and consideration for others. According to the statistics of this research, the average result of table manners (p<0.001) was significantly improved after the green dietary practice program was successfully carried out. The green dietary life education program had a positive effect on children’s attitudes towards the environment (p<0.001) and consideration for others (p<0.001). In conclusion, it is important that children should undergo an effective and systematic education program at an earlier stage to enhance their awareness regarding the importance of green dietary life style.
