The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between table attitudes(or table manners), nutrition knowledge, eating/snacking habits, and BMI in elementary school children. For the study, 350 [4~6th grade] elementary students were recruited and surveyed. Each response for 10 questions regarding table attitudes was scored by a 5-point scale(5 points=strongly agreed & 1 point=strongly disagreed) with a total score of 50. The reliability of 10 questions about nutrition knowledge was validated using Cronbach`s α(Cronbach`s α=0.80). Total scores for table attitudes were significantly different between the boys and girls(p<0.05). The total score for nutrition knowledge was significantly higher in the girls(7.67/10.0), compared to the boys(7.35/10.0)(p<0.05). The children showed high rates of incorrect answers in questions regarding the function or importance of specific nutrients. No significant differences between the boys and girls were found for places of snack purchase, or pocket money/day. Most of the children answered spending less than 800 won of pocket money per day. More boys preferred meals with meats and disliked Kimchi and vegetables compared to girls, and the differences were statistically significant. The score for table attitudes was significantly and negatively correlated with nutrition knowledge and gender. No significant correlations between BMI and table attitudes or nutrition knowledge were shown.

요즘 우리나라에서는 초등학생들에게 한자능력검정시험이 많은 인기를 끌고 있 다. 이에 따라 사교육에서는 학원, 인터넷, 한자학습지 등에서 시험을 대비한 프로 그램이 성행하고 있으며, 한자교육에 대한 관심도 높아지고 있다. 현재 우리나라의 한자능력검정시험에 있어서 초등학생의 응시율이 약 60%나 된다. 이러한 초등학생들의 급수시험의 형태는 일시적이지 않고 연속적이기 때문 에 해마다 응시율도 증가하고 있다. 한편 공교육에서의 초등학교 한자교육은 충분 한 시간적 확보가 마련되지 않아서 체계적인 한자교육이 이루어지지 않고 있으며, 초등학교 교육용 기초한자도 제정되지 않았기 때문에 학년별로 공정하고 통일된 한자교육이 실시되지 못하고 있다. 이러한 공교육의 한자교육 실태는 한자능력검 정시험에 상당한 영향을 끼치고 있다. 공교육에서 채우지 못한 한자교육의 욕구를 사교육의 일환인 한자검정능력시험으로 대신하려는 경향이 있기 때문에 한자능력 검정시험의 인기는 날로 치솟고 있다. 한국의 한자능력검정시험은 일본의 한자능력검정 시험의 체제와 비교해 볼 때 상당한 차이가 있음을 알 수 있다. 한국의 한자능력검정시험의 현황을 살펴보면, 우선 한자능력을 검정하는 기관 이 많고, 이 기관들이 급수를 나누는 기준들이 다르다. 즉, 기준이 되는 국가적 차 원의 초등학교 교육용 기초한자가 제정 되지 않았기 때문에 각 기관별로 급수를 나누는 排定漢字와, 漢字數에 있어서 통일되지 못하고 있다. 이는 한자검정시험 의 전문성을 떨어뜨리고 공증성을 약하게 만들 수도 있다. 또한 각 기관들이 시행 하는 시험일도 다르기 때문에 상업적인 경향도 보인다. 반면 일본은 한자능력검정 시험은 거의 일본한자능력검정협회에서 주관하고 있다. 또한 漢檢의 급수 체제는 학교에서의 한자교육과 연계되어 학교에서 배우는 각 학년별로 배당한자(교육용 기초한자), 1006字를 기준으로 각 등급별로 형성되어 있다. 이는 일본의 漢檢이 공교육에 기반을 두고 시행되고 있는 것을 면밀히 보여주고 있는 것이다. 현재 한국의 한자능력검정시험의 시장은 상당히 크다. 초등학교의 한자과목의 위상을 확립하고 바람직한 한자교육의 체제를 형성하기 위해서는 현행 한자능력 검정시험의 체제를 개선해야 한다. 그러므로 본고에서는 일본의 한자능력검정시 험과의 비교를 통하여 한국의 한자능력검정시험의 문제점을 파악하고 개선책을 제시하는데 의의를 두고자 한다.

Changes in social, economical, and cultural environments affect the meal practices of children. The transmission of traditional Korean food culture is very important because it presents not only a well-balanced diet but also contributes to shaping identity. The purpose of this study was to investigate elementary school students' present meal practices and views, as well as demands on traditional food culture education to reflect future educational plans. Half of the students ate breakfast everyday and 72% ate a traditional Korean style breakfast. About 38% of the students participated 2-4 times per week in meal preparation and 34% participated in clean-up after the meal once a day. Although 6th graders had greater skills in basic cooking, they tended to be more passive upon applying their skills in daily meal practice. For traditional food culture education, 89% of the experienced and 86.2% of the inexperienced groups agreed on the necessity of traditional food culture education. Students attained traditional food culture knowledge through Silgwa, practical coursework within the curriculum, and by teachers leading classes. They were also educated by parents, mass media, and books outside of school. The preferred methods of class teaching were lecture and experiential learning. The preferred subjects to learn were 'cooking classes based on taste development', 'learning food ingredients through vegetable growing', 'traditional Korean food manners', and 'traditional Korean food culture and seasonal foods' as well as nutritional education. Fifth graders had more positive attitudes towards meal practices and traditional food culture education. Traditional Korean food culture and nutrition education should be integrated and developed into regular subject curricula to improve children's meal practice and inheritance of traditional food culture.

This study investigated the preference, intake condition and awareness of Kimchi of 660 elementary students in the Seoul area surveyed during June, 2008. The preference test was performed by using 5-point hedonic scale (1=dislike very much, 5=like very much). The most preferred types of Kimchi were Baechukimchi (4.32), Bossamkimchi (4.08) and Kkakdugi (4,01). The most preferred foods prepared with Kimchi were Kimchi jjige (4.59), Kimchi bokkeumbap (4.47), fried Kimchi (4.35), Kimchi pancake (4,31), Kimchi mandu (4.20) and Kimchi kimbap (4.06). Kimchi pizza (2.88), Kimchi hamburger (2.85) and Kimchi spaghetti (2.81) were not preferred. Most students (62.7%) ate Kimchi at almost every meal. The main reason for eating Kimchi was its delicious taste (50.3%). Concerning intake of Kimchi provided at school lunch, 48.4% of students ate some, 45.9% ate all and 5.8% ate none. Various kinds of Kimchi should be developed for elementary school students to meet their taste.

This study investigated the eating preferences and patterns for kimchi by elementary school students in Seoul, Korea. Seven hundred and sixty-six elementary school students in the Seoul area were surveyed during June, 2008, and the results are summarized as follows. The percentage of elementary school students living in a nuclear family was 93.6%. The BMIs of students were 'normal' (81.7%), 'underweight' (9.7%), and 'overweight' (8.6%). Most students (70.2%) liked kimchi. The main reasons cited were 'hot taste' (46.5%) by males and 'texture of chewing' (40.6%) by females. Most students had eaten Baechukimchi (97.8%) and Kkakdugi (96.9%), with Korean lettuce Kimchi (29.7%) marking the lowest experience. Regarding food prepared with Kimchi, most students had eaten Kimchi jjige (99.2%) and Kimchi bokkeumbap (96.9%). Kimchijapchae (27.8), Kimchi pizza (14.8%), Kimchi hamburger (13.3%), and Kimchi spaghetti (9.5%) received low grades.

This study was conducted to examine the relationship between dietary habits and time spent watching TV and using internet, in elementary school children. The data were collected by a questionnaire survey of 712 elementary school children, within Gwangju and Jeonnam area. The SPSS 12.0/win program was used to analyze the 523 samples. Amount of TV-watching time was found to be related to the dietary habit score in the subjects. The children who watch TV “less than 1 hour/day” on weekdays had a better dietary habit score than those who watch TV “more than 1 hour” (p<0.0001). The children who watch TV “less than 2 hours/day” on weekends had a better dietary habit than the children who watch TV “more than 2 hours/day” (p<0.0001). The internet usage was also related to the dietary habit score in these children: those who use internet “less than 1 hour/day” on weekdays had a better dietary habit score than the children who use internet “more than 2 hours/day” (p<0.0001). The children who use internet “less than 2 hours/day” on weekends had a better dietary habit score than the children who use internet “more than 2 hours/day” (p<0.0001). These results indicate that the children tend to have a better diet when their TV and internet time is limited and thus healthy dietary behavior is negatively associated with a sedentary pattern of activity in elementary school children.

This study was performed to compare the dietary intake and food sources of zinc (Zn), using a database of Zn composition developed in this study, between elementary schoolchildren in a remote rural area (RA, n=58, 9.9±1.7 yrs) and those in an urban area (UA, n=60, 9.4±1.8 yrs) in Chungnam province in Korea. A dietary survey for three days by food record method was performed. All kinds of foods (n=273) consumed by subjects were collected by aliquot sampling method, and the Zn content of these foods were analyzed by wet technique. The results showed that the daily mean intakes of energy, calcium, iron, and vitamin C from diet in the RA were in the range of 49-88% of the Korean DRI (KDRI), while those in the UA were similar to or greater than the KDRI, except for calcium and iron. The daily mean intake of Zn from the RA diet was 7.0±0.5 mg/d (114.1±8.4% of the KDRI), and 16.0±1.0 mg/d (258.3±16.3% of the KDRI) in that of the UA (p〈0.001). The percentage of dietary intake of Zn less than 2/3 of the KDRI was 19.0% in the RA, in comparison to 1.7% in the UA. Those in the RA consumed Zn from plant foods more often than did those in the UA (p〈0.001). Beef rib stew was the food source with highest Zn amount for the total subjects, followed by beef rib meat, roasted; and beef soup w/seasoned red pepper sauce. These results showed that some children in the RA had poor Zn nutrition based upon low intakes and poor food sources of Zn, while overall, children in the UA had good Zn nutrition. Therefore, those in RAs should have their Zn nutrition improved through government policy and nutrition education.

가정내 식물 가꾸기 활동이 초등학생들의 정서지능에 미치는 영향을 검증하고자 하였다. 실험집단의 사후검사시 통제집단에 비하여 정서인식, 정서표현, 정서이입, 정서조절, 정서활용모두에서 유의차가 나타나 가정내 식물 가꾸기 활동이 초등학교 고학년 학생들의 정서지능에 긍정적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 성별에 따른 정서지능 변화에서도 실험집단의 남학생은 통제집단의 남학생보다 높게 나타났고, 정서인식, 정서표현, 정서이입, 정서조절, 정서활용 모두에서 유의차가 나타났으며, 실험집단의 여학생도 같은 경향이었다. 따 라서 가정내 식물 가꾸기 활동은 초등학교 고학년 학생들의 정서지능 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 볼 수 있다.

창의성 교육이 많이 대두되고 있는 가운데 유아들의 창의성 교육은 많이 이루어지고 있지만 초등학교 때부터는 일률적인 보편화된 교육으로 인해 창의성 교육의 중요성이 많이 떨어지고 있다. 초등학생들이 가장 즐겨하는 놀이는 컴퓨터 게임이다. 이 게임을 활용하여 다양한 학습을 하는 이른바 에듀테인먼트 교육이 많이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 현재 서비스되고 있는 다양한 에듀테인먼트 게임들은 재미와 학습 두 가지 요소를 모두 충족시키기에는 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 초등학생들이 즐기고 학습까지 가능한 어드벤처 게임을 제안하고 구현하고자 한다. 이 게임은 5가지의 독립된 시스템으로 구성하였으며 게임의 재미 요소에 중점을 두어 미션 수행이 주로 이루어진다. 지역을 설정하여 그 지역의 역사와 문화를 공부하면서 자연스럽게 게임을 즐기는 사이 창의성이 향상된다. 본 연구에서 제작한 게임으로 게임을 즐기기 전과 후의 설문 조사를 통해 게임을 즐긴 초등학생들의 창의성이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.
