Abstract

Pravilna i uravnotežena prehrana podrazumijeva svakodnevan unos neophodnih hranjivih tvari u organizam podijeljenih u redovitih pet obroka dnevno. Ključna je za pravilan rast i razvoj organizma, očuvanje dobrog tjelesnog i mentalnog zdravlja te prevenciju raznih bolesti i infekcija. Na razvoj pravilnih prehrambenih navika djece mlađe školske dobi uvelike utječu njihovi roditelji i učitelji primarnog obrazovanja. Oni su zaslužni za njihov prehrambeni odgoj zbog kojeg će izrasti u zdravog odraslog čovjeka. Svrha istraživanja bila je utvrditi da li su prehrambene navike učitelja primarnog obrazovanja i njihova znanja o pravilnoj prehrani povezana s metodičkim oblikovanjem aktivnosti koje se koriste za poticanje razvoja pravilnih prehrambenim navika učenika. Istraživanje je provedeno na području kontinentalne Republike Hrvatske na uzorku od 112 ispitanika. Upitnikom o znanju, prehrambenim navikama i metodičkom oblikovanju aktivnosti prikupljeni su podaci interpretirani u radu. Prema dobivenim rezultatima utvrđeno je da ispitanici nemaju očekivani visok stupanj znanja o pravilnoj prehrani. Usprkos slabijem znanju o pravilnoj prehrani, ispitanici ipak imaju razvijene dobre prehrambene navike. Većina ispitanika konzumira 4 do 5 obroka na dan, redovito jede užinu na radnom mjestu (voće i/ili kuhani obrok), a za piće najčešće konzumira vodu. U nastavnoj praksi, ispitanici često primjenjuju različite postupke metodičkog oblikovanja aktivnosti za razvoj pravilnih prehrambenih navika učenika. Aktivnosti na temu pravilne prehrane najčešće se provode u sklopu predmeta Priroda i društvo. Tijekom poučavanja ispitanici koriste raznovrsne izvore znanja. Ovim istraživanjem nije utvrđena povezanost između prehrambenih navika i znanja o pravilnoj prehrani učitelja primarnog obrazovanja s njihovim metodičkim djelovanjem u nastavnoj praksi. Zaključno, edukacija učitelja primarnog obrazovanja ključna je za uspješno razvijanje pravilnih prehrambenih navika učenika, stoga je poželjno dodatno obogatiti studijski program i osigurati adekvatna stručna usavršavanja učitelja na temu pravilne prehrane.

Abstract (english)

Proper and balanced nutrition indicates regular intake of essential nutrients by five meals a day. Healthy nutrition is crucial for the proper growth and development of the organism, the maintenance of a good physical and mental health and the prevention of various diseases and infections. In young school children, development of healthy eating habits is greatly influenced by their parents and primary education teachers. They are responsible for children’s nutritional education which is crucial for good health in adulthood. The aim of this study was to evaluate correlation between the dietary habits and nutritional knowledge of primary school teachers with methodological design of activities for the development of pupils’ healthy eating habits. The research was conducted in the continental part of the Republic of Croatia on a sample of 112 participants. The data was collected using the questionnaire on nutritional knowledge, dietary habits and methodical design of teachers’ activities. According to the obtained results, it is concluded that the participants do not have the expected high level of nutritional knowledge. However, despite that, they still have good dietary habits. Majority of the participants consume 4 to 5 meals a day, regularly eat snacks at work (fruit and/or cooked meals), and mostly consume water. In teaching practice, the participants often apply different procedures of methodological design of activities for the development of pupils` healthy eating habits. These activities are regularly carried out within the subject Nature and Society. During the teaching process, the participants use various knowledge sources. Correlation between dietary habits and nutritional knowledge of primary school teachers and methodological design of activities for the development of pupils’ healthy eating habits in their teaching practice was not found. To conclude, the nutritional education of teachers is crucial for the successful development of their pupils` healthy eating habits, so it is necessary to enhance faculty curricula by implementing more content on nutrition and to provide them adequate professional training.
