Alimentação escolar: construção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis

Abstract

It is known that children have specific nutritional needs, and the school is responsible for nurturing them in the school environment, through effective pedagogical work in the classroom and providing adequate school meals. Thus, the general objective of this study was to describe how the teachers of the initial years of elementary school in a school in the municipality of Duas Estradas work on the theme of healthy eating. We use a qualitative, descriptive approach. The instruments used were: questionnaire applied with teacher and director and note. We conclude that the work developed by the school needs to develop an educational and awareness - raising work with the lunch ladies, whose objective would be to develop the understanding and notion of basic nutritional questions. Teachers are adopting themes related to the students awareness and healthy dietary reeducation, but if in their own school healthy lunch ladies do not yet exist, this becomes incoherent, and their pedagogical work is impaired.
