Questionnaire Survey on Education Programs for Cooking Techniques

Abstract

The results of the questionnaire survey showed that cooking education should be a basic and important requirement, because cooking practice can improve eating enjoyment and decrease bad habits for health. However, cooking skills were widely distributed from a low to high level. We propose graded programs for cooking education at four levels. These would be suitable for the beginner, primary, middle, and higher level learners according to skills assessed from the total score of dishes to be cooked. This grading can be treated as guidance for the teaching materials used in elementary and junior high schools to improve cooking skill and eating style.
