An Investigation of Self-Evaluated Performance on Foodservice Management among Directors and Teachers in Home Day Care Centers

Authors : Joo-eun Lee

Abstract: This study examined foodservice management performance evaluated by directors and teachers themselves in home day care centers located in Cheongju area. And it aimed to compare averages depending on positions, hygiene and nutrition education and raise the hygiene and nutrition education on positions. The analysis proved that directors and teachers showed significant differences in distribution on general characteristics (p<0.001) that directors were more experienced in hygiene and nutrition educations and that the former tended more to take charge of cooking and the latter tended more to take charge of distribute meals. There were significant differences in ‘foodservice facilities and environment’, ‘fooddistribution’, ‘ingredients management’ and ‘individual hygiene’ areas (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001), depending on positions and whether they received hygiene education or not. In nutrition management area, there were significant differences in average scores in four items depending on whether they received nutrition education or not (p<0.05, p<0.01, p<0.001). And there were significant differences in average scores in the 8 items in cooking, washing and sterilization management (p<0.001) depending on whether they received hygiene education or not. The findings of this research proved that hygiene and nutrition education has positive effects on foodservice management performance and that it is, especially, necessary for teachers to receive hygiene and nutrition education related with guiding children to eat food properly and proper amounts per age.
