食農教育－減少午餐廚餘，珍惜食糧之行動研究

食農教育可包括飲食教育、營養教育、農事體驗等。本研究採取行動研究，以一所國小高年級某班為研究場域，以八週為研究時程。透過導師帶領全班二十六位同學，結合食農教育，強調健康飲食，減少午餐廚餘，避免浪費食糧，為本研究之目的，期作為教師在班級經營之參考。研究結論如下：1.瞭解學生偏好蔬菜、炸物，增加蔬菜知識，減少午餐廚餘。2.降低攝取不良零食，間接增進學生午餐食量。3.藉由蔬菜實物素描，親近日常食用蔬菜，有助拉近彼此距離。4.配合規畫農事，體驗食農教育，增進學生「做中學」的精神。研究建議如下：1.結合食農教育，納入校本課程，促進學生親近蔬菜。2.配合班親會、親職講座，探討有益與不利孩子的零食。3.辦理校園蔬菜寫生，提升學生對蔬菜的親切感。4.透過策略聯盟，連結區內學校，共同發展食農教育。
