Abstract
University students taught dietary education using several different programs to 111 second graders in four classes of three elementary schools. The common theme of the four programs was “Let’s eat our school lunches without leftovers.”
The children acquired the point of each program through its devised guidance material. The responses of the children in worksheets used in each program clarified their motivation to eat their school lunches without leftovers. In addition, all children who disliked some foods decided to make the effort to eat them. After the learning sessions, a positive trend was observed in how the children ate their lunches.
This attempt suggested the favorable effect of dietary education taught by university students.
