探討食農教育於茶文化認知提升之成效

Abstract

本研究旨在探討食農教育體驗在國小教育中的實施成效，近年來，茶文化在臺灣逐漸興起，人們對於健康飲食的重視也越來越高。同時，對於農業的關注度也逐漸提升，茶業在台灣農業中扮演十分重要的角色；然而，由於茶中所含的咖啡因，可能對學童造成傷害而鮮少被列入校園的課程當中。 本研究根據2002年公告的食農教育法，設計一套與茶相關的食農教育課程，讓小學中年級的孩子們透過相關課程，從茶的歷史文化、種植環境、加工製作與應用等，以宜蘭縣某國小的中年級學生為樣本，並使用同樣的問卷在進行課程前施予前測及課程後施予後測，以成對樣本T檢定來檢測進行課程前後之差異分析。研究結果顯示，在實行茶文化食農教育後，學生對茶的農業生產與環境（Agricultural Production And Environment，AE）的知識、飲食健康與消費（Diet Health And Consumption，DC）的知識及飲食生活與文化（Food Life And Culture，FC）的知識有顯著的增加。 研究結果顯示茶文化食農教育課程在國小學童中的實施成效相當顯著，對於透過食農教育課程來推廣台灣茶葉具有重要的意義，本研究對於未來學校推廣食農教育、促進茶文化的認知及地位，具有重要的參考價值。

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of Food-Agricultural Education (FAE) on the recognition of tea culture. In recent years, tea culture has gradually emerged in Taiwan, and people have paid more and more attention to healthy diet. At the same time, attention to agriculture has gradually increased, and the tea industry plays a very important role in Taiwan's agriculture; however, because the caffeine contained in tea may cause harm to children, it is rarely included in school. Based on the FAE Law announced in 2002, this study designs a set of tea-related courses so that 10-years-old children can learn from the history and culture, planting environment, processing, production and application of tea through the courses. Yilan County students was taken as a sample, and the same questionnaire was used to administer a pre-test before the course and a post-test after the course. A paired sample T test was used to analyze the differences before and after the course. The research results show that after the course, students’ knowledge of tea’s Agricultural Production And Environment (AE), Diet Health And Consumption (DC), and dietary life and Knowledge of Food Life And Culture (FC) has increased significantly. The results of the research show that the implementation of the tea culture and food and agriculture education courses among elementary school children is quite effective. It is of great significance for promoting Taiwanese tea through the courses. This study will provide guidance for future schools to promote FAE and promote tea culture. Cognition and status have important reference value.
