The effectiveness of a three-hour nutrition education workshop for home economics teachers given in 18 locations in Oregon was evaluated based on responses from 138 teachers. Changes in knowledge of and attitude toward four nutrition topics (fast foods, vegetarianism, weight control, and food exchanges) were measured using questionnaires completed at the beginning of the workshop, at the end of the workshop, and one month later. Teacher background, teacher reaction to the workshop, and incorporation of workshop material into the classroom were also assessed. Statistically significant positive changes were found in both knowledge and attitude immediately after the workshop. These changes were retained to a significant degree one month later in all areas of knowledge but for only two areas of attitude (fast foods and food exchanges). Change in knowledge was not found to be related to the number of years employed, the academic degree, the length of time since a college nutrition course had been taken, the teacher's source of recent nutrition information or previous workshop attendance. Most of the teachers (88-99%) found the workshop useful, the right length of time, and at a convenient hour. Over half (51%) of the teachers who returned the final questionnaire indicated they had used workshop material in their classroom within the month following the workshop. Similar results were found when responses from 76 non-home economics teachers, who also attended the workshop, were analyzed for changes in knowledge and attitude. / Graduation date: 1980

Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education in the Department of Educational Psychology, University of Zululand, 1999. / The two major employers in South Africa are the government and the commercial sector. Owing to problems faced by government, jobs in the public sector are shrinking and this makes the commercial sector the only potential employer. Most jobs in the commercial sector are in the field of Economics and this poses a challenge on Economics teachers. They are faced with a challenge of teaching Economics affectively and meaningfully so that learners are made aware of the careers and job opportunities in the field of Economics. Much then can be done by the Economics teacher to help learners towards embarking on a career in the field of Economics. Research with regard to this study will be conducted as follows: * A literature study of available literature will be done. * An empirical study comprising a structured questionnaire to be completed by Economics teachers of high schools. A Likert-rype scale questionnaire with these response categories, namely Agree, Uncertain and Disagree, was constructed. Fifty respondents representing Economics teachers were randomly selected from 16 high schools in Umlazi. The data was in the form of a response to one of the three response categories (Agree, Uncertain, Disagree). Scores of the responses to each of the three categories were calculated. The descriptive technique was employed for the quantitative analysis of data. This investigation has the value that it will provide an image of Economics teachers' perceptions of motivational challenges facing them as Economics teachers. Certain recommendations have been made. The aim of these recommendations to encourage the Economics teachers to improve the teaching of Economics schools by: * Subject enhancement programmes for Economies * Regular educational audit * Further research
