Abstract:

 Nutrition plays a critical role in individuals physical and mental health. This study was conducted to examine the nutritional knowledge levels and eating habits of middle school students, based on a sample of students attending both private and public schools. The review focuses on the nutritional knowledge and habits of middle school students, emphasizing the importance of fundamental nutritional education for ensuring a healthy future for children. Research indicates that students generally have insufficient nutritional knowledge, which leads to irregular eating habits. This study employs a literature review methodology to compile significant findings in the field. According to the findings, significant differences were observed in the nutritional knowledge test scores between male and female students. Additionally, it was found that adolescents nutritional knowledge levels were inadequate, correlating with their age. Given that this period is characterized by rapid growth and development, the importance of providing nutritional education at an early age is underscored. Schools are identified as the most suitable environments for delivering such education, further highlighting their critical role in shaping students nutritional habits.

 Beslenme, bireylerin fiziksel ve zihinsel sağlığı üzerinde kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Ortaokul çağındaki öğrencilerin beslenme bilgi düzeyi ve beslenme alışkanlıklarının incelenmesi amacıyla özel okul ve devlet okullarında öğrenim gören öğrenciler baz alınarak bu çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu derlemede, ortaokul çağındaki öğrencilerin beslenme bilgi düzeyleri ve beslenme alışkanlıkları ele alınmış, çocukların sağlıklı bir geleceğe sahip olmaları için gerekli olan temel beslenme eğitiminin önemi araştırılmıştır. Araştırmalar, öğrencilerin beslenme bilgi düzeyinin genellikle yetersiz olduğunu ve bu durumun düzensiz beslenme alışkanlıklarına yol açtığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma, literatür taraması yöntemiyle alandaki önemli bulguları derlemektedir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre; kız ve erkek öğrencilerin beslenme bilgi testinden aldıkları puanlar arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır. Adolesanların yaşları ile paralel olarak beslenme bilgi düzeylerinin de yetersiz olduğu görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin en hızlı gelişim ve değişim gösterdiği bu dönemde erken yaşlarda beslenme bilgisi eğitiminin verilmesinin önemi ve verilecek bu eğitim için en uygun ortamın da okullar olduğunu belirtmek amacıyla hazırlanmış bir derleme çalışmasıdır.
