Skolmatsalsmiljö och schemaplanering ur ett hälsoperspektiv : Kvalitativ ansats

Sammanfattning: To investigate if the student’s school centeent, and that planning of the school lunch is done from a health perspective.   Qualitative research approach was used, including both interviews and observations, to view the purpose. Evidence was collected using a participating observer, semi constructed questions and structured observation. To focus on specific parts in the material, a directed content analysis was used. One large and one smaller school participated in the study. The staff that participated in the interviews are responsible for planning the schedules for school lunches and the centeent environment at their schools. The observations were conducted first without students in the centeent, and then with students present. The interviews were conducted in conjunction with the educators organizing the scheduling and planning of the centeent. The research problems are Are laws, recommendations and guidelines regarding the pupils' overall environment in the centeent applied according to the respondents?   Do the respondents experience that laws, recommendations and guidelines regarding the students' pyshical environment in the centeent are applied basen on a health perspective? Are applied laws, recommendations and guidelines observed regarding pupils' psychical environment in canteens, and is it interpreted to be based on a perspective of health? Are pedagogical meals applied according to the respondents and observations?   Is there a difference between the larger and the smaller school?   It was concluded that none of the respondents had knowledge about the recommendations from the Swedish NFA and the Department of Education regarding the amount of recommended time spent at the table and between what times lunch should be served. The larger school had however been actively addressing concern regarding both noise level and participation.   The size of the school determines the amount of energy needed to spend on subjects concerning noise, planning, participation and the physical environment.
