ABSTRACT Recently, there has been an intensification of calls for comprehensive food education curriculum in schools. Despite this, there is limited international comparative data on the provision of food education. This study uses a comparative case study approach to analyse second-level food education curriculum policy across seven countries. It explores curriculum policy regarding the status of food education, nomenclature and the pedagogical and philosophical approaches. In six of the seven countries, Home Economics is identified as the school subject which teaches practical food education. Coherence in the discourse and pedagogical approaches is evident; however, disparity between countries exists as to whether the subject is optional or mandatory. The authors conclude that food education should form part of the curriculum, but rather than a piecemeal approach, they recommend it be taught, by specialist teachers, in an integrated, sequential and developmentally appropriate manner through an established subject such as Home Economics.

二级食品教育课程政策的国际回顾

摘要 最近，学校对全面的食品教育课程的呼声越来越高。尽管如此，关于提供食品教育的国际比较数据有限。本研究使用比较案例研究方法来分析七个国家的二级食品教育课程政策。它探讨了有关食品教育现状、命名法以及教学和哲学方法的课程政策。在七个国家中的六个国家中，家政学被确定为教授实用食品教育的学校科目。话语和教学方法的连贯性是显而易见的；然而，国家之间在该主题是可选的还是强制性的方面存在差异。作者得出结论，食品教育应该成为课程的一部分，
