There were two purposes in this study. First of all, to explore the effect of nutrition instruction, using the social learning-oriented teaching techniques (experimental group, E) and traditional teaching techniques (control group, C), on improving the dietary knowledge, dietary self-efficacy and dietary behavior (vegetable & fruit consumption, low nutrient density snack foods and sugar-contained soft drinks frequency). Secondary, to compare difference in dietary knowledge, dietary self-efficacy and dietary behavior between E and C. A non-equivalent control group design was used in this study. One hundred and five 4th graders were selected as the sample. The E group, was treated with eight sessions of nutrition instruction (using social learning-oriented teaching techniques: modeling, contracting, skill training, self-monitoring and reinforcement). The C group was treated with traditional teaching technique. The effect of intervention was assessed by questionnaires and 3-day dietary report immediately after eight sessions (posttest) and follow-up (post posttest) evaluation in the next eight weeks. The date was analyzed by x2 test, paired t-test and multiple regression analysis. The major findings were as follows: 1. Social learning-oriented teaching techniques can immediately increase student's dietary knowledge, dietary self-efficacy, vegetable & fruit consumption and decrease low nutrient density snack foods intake. At eight-week follow-up test, the dietary knowledge score, vegetable & fruit consumption showed significantly higher than of pre-test, the frequency of sugar-contained soft drink intake significantly lower than of pre-test. 2. Traditional teaching techniques increased student's dietary knowledge and the intervention effect still lasted for eight weeks. 3. Social learning-oriented teaching techniques had significant effect on improving student's dietary self-efficacy, vegetable & fruit consumption and decreasing frequency of sugar-contained soft drinks intake immediately after the intervention. After eight weeks, the effect lasted for eight weeks on dietary self-efficacy, vegetable & fruit consumption. |
