Participaram da pesquisa 261 escolares matriculados no 2º ciclo de alfabetização e nos 1º e 2º ciclos intermediários do Ensino Fundamental. O delineamento amostral adotado foi o probabilístico estratificado, segundo o número de escolares matriculados em cada instituição de ensino e série. Os dados foram obtidos mediante avaliação antropométrica dos escolares, determinando peso e altura para classificação do estado nutricional, circunferência da cintura e avaliação qualitativa do consumo alimentar por meio da aplicação de um questionário específico para esta população. Foi realizada análise estatística descritiva das variáveis e determinadas as associações por meio do teste qui-quadrado de aderência. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, 65,9% dos escolares encontram-se eutróficos, 15,71% apresentam sobrepeso e 12,26% obesidade, sendo 5,37% obesidade grave e 0,38% foram diagnosticados com magreza e magreza acentuada.

O presente estudo inserido na linha de Pesquisa Fundamentos e Estratégias Educacionais no Ensino de Ciências e Matemática, diz respeito à percepção aos hábitos alimentares dos estudantes da turma D do Programa Mais Educação dos hábitos na Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental General Osório de Vacaria (RS). Dessa forma fazendo o uso do método de Ensino com Projetos foram realizadas várias atividades envolvendo os alunos da Educação Integral, familiares dos educandos, equipe gestora e professores da Escola. Foram propostos vários objetivos entre eles, conhecer a realidade alimentar de cada estudante do Programa Mais Educação. Este trabalho teve como suporte teórico pesquisadores que contribuíram para estruturação de uma proposta de ensino com projetos que levasse à mudança de hábitos, atitudes e reflexão no que tange a escolha de alimentos e bebidas por parte dos educandos participantes da Educação Integral na E.M.E.F. General Osório. É imprescindível considerar as contribuições de autores como Freire, que destaca a necessidade de o aluno jamais assumir uma postura passiva, mas sim assumir uma posição curiosa e crítica. Assim como a concepção de Peruzzo de que o nosso corpo precisa de energia e nutrientes para se manter vivo e saudável, neste sentido e no contexto da educação formal, uma abordagem inovadora que leve à mudança de atitudes na escolha dos alimentos é muito desejável. Desta forma, a pesquisa apresentou-se significativa por viabilizar reflexão sobre os hábitos alimentares dos estudantes, por eles mesmos, haja vista que a escola tem função essencial na construção de hábitos em seus alunos referente a uma alimentação saudável, pois de acordo com Freire, desafiar os educandos ao que parece certo é um dever do educador, logo o estudo realizado permitiu outras possibilidades de reflexão e análise em especial à alimentação. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2017-02-13T17:15:51Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Fabiano Martins Fernandes.pdf: 15432156 bytes, checksum: e6bc7171b91d6ae861c6280b445e03f8 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2017-02-13T17:15:51Z (GMT).

Thus, by using the method of Teaching with Projects, several activities were carried out involving the students of Integral Education, the families of the students, the management team and the teachers of the School. Several objectives were proposed among them, to know the food reality of each student of the More Education Program. This work had as theoretical support researchers who contributed to the structuring of a teaching proposal with projects that lead to the change of habits, attitudes and reflection regarding the choice of foods and beverages by the students participating in Integral Education in E.M.E.F. General Osório. It is imperative to consider the contributions of authors such as Freire, that highlights the need for the student to never assume a passive posture, but rather to assume a curious and critical position. Like Peruzzo's conception that our body needs energy and nutrients to stay alive and healthy, in this sense and in the context of formal education, an innovative approach that leads to changing attitudes in the choice of food is very desirable. In this way, the research was significant to enable reflection on the eating habits of the students themselves, given that the school has an essential role in the construction of habits in its students regarding healthy eating, because according to Freire, Challenging learners to what seems right is a duty of the educator, so the study carried out allowed other possibilities of reflection and analysis in particular to food.

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2007 / Chinese students study in South Africa on account of the English environment and cheaper tuition fees. Owing to the increased Chinese student population in South Africa, a potential Chinese food market is being mooted, and it is therefore necessary to undertake research to define this potential market opportunity in order to provide information to entrepreneurs who are interested in establishing a business in the Chinese food market in the Cape Metropolis. Chinese students who are studying at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) and the University of the Western Cape (UWC) will be the focus of the research. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the food consumption behaviour of these students and their attitudes towards Chinese and South African foods. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information on the demographic characteristics of Chinese students, their current food consumption habits and attitudes towards Chinese and South African food. The data collection and analysis was computed by means of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences methodology. The results reflected that students generally prefer not to eat at home and that they eat both Chinese and South African food alternately. Furthermore, the attitudes towards of the respondents towards Chinese and South African foods are influenced by factors such as freshness, convenience and availability.

No segundo capítulo foi feita a adaptação transcultural para o português do "Questionário para Avaliação das Atitudes dos Pais com Relação a Saúde Bucal dos Filhos". Realizou-se validação de face e 11 itens foram reformulados e validação de conteúdo onde verificou-se índice de incompreensão inferior a 20%. Estimou-se a confiabilidade do instrumento. Para verificar a consistência interna 110 pais de crianças de 7 a 12 anos de idade matriculadas em escolas do ensino fundamental do município de São Carlos - SP responderam ao questionário, o alfa de Cronbach foi adequado para três das quatro dimensões propostas. Para estimar a reprodutibilidade 79 pais responderam ao questionário em dois momentos distintos e estimou-se a estatística kappa que foi considerada adequada para todos os itens, com exceção da questão referente a adição de açúcar no suco ou leite. O capítulo 3 foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar as atitudes dos pais com relação à saúde bucal dos filhos. Participaram do estudo 412 pais de crianças matriculas em escolas do ensino fundamental do município de São Carlos...

Thus, it was divided into three chapters, the first being a review of literature on the subject, pointing out the issues involved in giving care, as well as its importance and influence in the formation, development and behavior in child health, with emphasis on oral health care and nutrition. In the second chapter was the adaptation to Portuguese of the "Questionnaire for Evaluation of Attitudes of Parents in Relation to Oral Health of Children." Held face validity and 11 items were reworded and validation of content where there is misunderstanding index below 20%. We estimated the reliability of the instrument. To check the internal consistency of 110 parents of children 7-12 years of age enrolled in primary schools of São Carlos - SP responded to the questionnaire, the Cronbach's alpha was adequate for three of the four proposed dimensions. To estimate the reproducibility 79 parents completed the questionnaire at two different times and the kappa statistic was estimated. There was adequate reproducibility for all items, except for the question relating to adding sugar to juice or milk. The cultural adaptation process resulted in an easy to understand tool, presenting cultural and idiomatic equivalence that is applicable to people using the Portuguese language. Chapter 3 was conducted to evaluate the attitudes of parents regarding the oral health of children. Study participants were 412 parents of children enrolled in elementary schools of São Carlos - SP who responded... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre
