UNDERSTANDING THE CURRENT STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS OF FOOD CYCLE AND FOOD WASTE FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THE INFLUENCE OF VIDEOS ON THOSE CONSCIOUSNESS

Abstract

 We considered the current consciousness of elementary school students to value food and their knowledge and action not to produce food waste, and considered changes in their consciousness as elementary school students attend food and nutrition education. As a result, the current elementary school students value food on a daily basis, and the word food waste itself is recognized by elementary school students to some extent. It was confirmed that among the action not to produce food waste, many elementary school students are able to practice actions that are relatively easy to tackle, but many elementary school students are not able to practice actions that are difficult to tackle. In addition, by taking a quiz, the effect of food and nutrition education can be expected to acquire knowledge about food waste. Furthermore, it was clarified that the effects of food and nutrition education can be expected for the acquisition of knowledge about food waste, such as (1) consciousness of the amount of food waste, (2) its type, and (3) the difference in meaning between the freshness date and expired date.
