ABSTRACT

The study aimed to enhance young children’s knowledge of healthy eating, active play and environmental sustainability through play-based activities developed by nursery educators in Crete, Greece. Intervention group children received 4–6 weeks of curriculum activities, and their knowledge about healthy eating, active play and sustainability concepts was measured before, post-curriculum and 3-months after the intervention. Children’s eating or physical activity habits were measured at the same time points. The intervention group significantly increased its knowledge about the connection between healthy living and sustainability, sustained high fruit and vegetable intake immediately post intervention and increased levels of physical activity 3-months post intervention, when compared to the control group. The findings highlight that young children can build their knowledge of health and sustainability concepts, and make more informed choices about healthy eating and physical activity. The preschool setting can play a role in health promotion and develop much-needed environmental consciousness among young children.

摘要

该研究旨在通过希腊克里特岛的幼儿园教育工作者开发的基于游戏的活动,提高幼儿对健康饮食、积极游戏和环境可持续性的了解。干预组儿童接受了 4-6 周的课程活动,并在干预前、课后和干预后 3 个月测量了他们对健康饮食、积极游戏和可持续性概念的了解。在同一时间点测量儿童的饮食或体育活动习惯。与对照组相比,干预组显着增加了其对健康生活与可持续性之间联系的认识,干预后立即持续大量摄入水果和蔬菜,干预后 3 个月的身体活动水平增加。研究结果强调,幼儿可以建立他们对健康和可持续性概念的了解,并在健康饮食和体育活动方面做出更明智的选择。学前环境可以在促进健康和培养幼儿急需的环境意识方面发挥作用。
