Global warming is an environmental issue that has brought concerns to education to implement environmental curriculum, such as a green food and beverage (GFB) curriculum in hospitality colleges. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the teaching effectiveness of implementing the GFB curriculum developed by Wang (2015a). The quasi-experimental research design was employed in this study. The 99 participants were college students of the foodservice department, who enrolled in the GFB course as experimental subjects, while the other 77, not enrolled, served as the control group. The two groups took the same pre-tests during the first week and the same post-test in the last week of the first semester, followed with a follow-up test later in the second week of the second semester. Then ANCOVA and MANCOVA were used to examine whether there were differences among the two in terms of green food and beverage literacy. The results did verify the teaching effectiveness of implementing the curriculum. After implementing the GFB course, there were immediate and continuing effects in the knowledge of GFBs, awareness of dining environments and related problems, individual consumer behavior pertaining to GFBs, and civic behavior pertaining to GFBs. However, the teaching effectiveness was not significant in students’ attitude and value towards GFB. |
