"Homemaking courses, in harmony with all of the other courses in which the students participate in high school, should contribute to the maximum extent possible in the development of their personalities. Typically such courses are taught in ways which involve pupils at a minimum in determining the purposes which the course should serve and the appropriate activities for pupils to engage in to achieve these purposes. This study is an effort to test the hypothesis that more effective learning, with respect to the objectives stated above, will occur if pupils are involved more directly in the determination of the purposes to be achieved by a course, and the activities appropriate for achieving those purposes. Stated more specifically, the purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that pupils learn more effectively when taught through processes involving pupil-teacher planning than when taught through processes which place all responsibility for planning on the teacher"--Introduction. / "August, 1959." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Herman Frick, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaf 32).

A nutrition education program for the third and fourth grade levels was developed within a sound educational structure, namely a systematic approach involving the five dimensions of motivation, concepts and generalizations, behavioral objectives, learning experiences and evaluation. To test the effectiveness of the nutrition education program, 117 children in two Vancouver schools participated in an experimental program. Fifty eight of these children were treated as two control groups, one group from each school. The other 59 children were treated as two experimental groups, one group in each school. Both the control and the experimental groups were pre- and post-tested using tests designed to evaluate the competency level of learning (Krathwohl et al., 1964; Bloom, 1965). The control groups did not receive any nutrition education. The experimental groups actively participated in nutrition education learning experiences for forty minutes, twice each week for six weeks. Evaluation proceeded during the week immediately before and immediately after the nutrition education program. The nutrition education program was found to improve significantly nutrition knowledge and comprehension for both grades. Although results of a parent questionnaire indicated that there had been significant improvement in nutrition attitudes at home, there was no general tendency toward improvement of dietary patterns reflected in the remaining tests. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate

"The objectives of the intended study were the following: 1. To plan and implement a nutrition education program for teachers and elementary students. 2. To compare dietary practices of students having had nutrition education correlated with the school lunchroom to dietary habits of students whose nutrition education was confined to the classroom. Specifically, the study sought an answer to the following question. Do students with nutrition education instruction consume a more adequate Type A lunch than students who have nutrition education not related to the school lunch program?"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1974." / "Submitted to the Department of Home Economics Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Bonnie B.
