Abstract:

 


Food
education is a component of health education which plays an important role in
the development of citizenship and human resources of a country (Jourdan,
2010). School is a vital element in implementing some positive behavior and
making students drop out other dangerous behaviors. Today educating students to
healthy nutrition allows them to develop the abilities to act, choose, decide
on an autonomous and responsible manner and capacity face reality and deal with
conflict (Jourdan, 2010). Food is present in our daily lives and in our
curricula but the problem lies in the manner/ way in which it is processed,
hence the importance of this study. And as the teacher constitutes a strong
link of the didactic transposition, he may influence this transposition by his
conceptions, values and practices (Clément, 2004). In this context, we are
interested in this study to identifying the teacher’ conceptions about food
education, and answering the following question: - What are the Moroccans
teachers’ conceptions about food education? We have thus used as a tool of investigation
in the form of a questionnaire administered to 200 teachers at all grade
levels. The conception of Moroccan high-school teachers towards food education
is more often expressed by implementing the Promotion of Health (HP) approach,
while those at primary and middle school adopt a Biomedical approach (BM) in
their definitions. This could be in relation to each grade level teachers’
educational background of each level school.
