Abstract

As the school lunch program is expanding to middle and high schools in Korea, a survey has been conducted to provide informations of the types and menus which are most favored on 190 middle and high school students in Metropolitan area. The sources/menus of foods relating to their lunches were proportionally ranked as: school food services (54.2%): individual lunch-box from home(37.4%); take-out lunch box(3.7%): school cafeterias(1.6%): and commercial restaurant, undefined, and skip a meal(1.1%). For the present practices for lunch, 52.1 and 47.9% of the students responded satisfaction on its sources and menus, respectively. A meal valued less than 2,000 won was paid by 54.9% of the respondents. In the meantime, 33.7 and 55.4% of the students were unsatisfied with lunch box from home and school cafeteria of the present lunch practices, respectively. The reasons against their satisfactions were enumerated as their preferences for take-out lunch box(22.2%), school cafeteria(21.0%), outside restaurant(17.3%), individual lunch-box from home(16.1%), school cafeterias(8.6%), and undefined (14.8%). For the individual lunch-box from home, two major obstacles, i.e., it is neither warm to eat, nor diverse/properly-sized in side dishes, were reasons for dissatisfaction of the students. The school lunch programs were blamed for its poor taste and lacks of variety and volume of the side dish which is mostly composed of kimchi, seasoned vegetables, and bulgogi. The most popular side dishes were pork- or fish cutlets, hams, and sausages while food with carrots, garlics or red peppers, vegetables like pumpkins, lotus roots, and seasoned vegetables were mostly disliked. It was concluded that the school lunch programs for middle- and high school students could be settled down by preparing with well-nourished food items that suits students' taste best and be served at right temperature.

$.$고등학생의 점심식사가 학교급식의 형태로 점차 전환되고 있는 실정에서 수도권에 거주하는 190명의 중$.$고등학생을 대상으로 점심식사 유형에 따른 만족도를 조사하여 학생들의 만족도를 증가시킬 수 있는 점심식사를 제공하는 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 응답자의 54.2%가 학교급식을 하였으며, 37.4%가 도시락을 싸오고, 3.7%는 시판 도시락, 1.6%는 학교내 식당, 1.1%는 학교밖 식당을 이용하였으며, 1.1%는 기타, 1.1%는 먹지 않는다로 조사되었다. 현재의 점심식사 유형에 대해서는 52.1%가, 메뉴에 대해서는 47.9%가 만족하는 것으로 나타났으며, 한끼 평균 점심식사의 비용으로는 2,000원 이하가 전체 응답자의 54.9%를 차지하였다. 응답자 중 도시락과 학교급식을 하는 학생은 각각 33.7와 55.4%의 학생이 현재의 메뉴형태에 대해 불만이유를 가지고 있었으며, 불만족한 학생은 시판도시락(22.2%), 학교급식(21.0%), 학교 밖의 식당(17.3%)을 이용하고 싶거나, 집에서 도시락을 싸 오고싶다(16.1%), 학교식당에서 사 먹고 싶다(8.6%), 기타(14.8%)의 순으로 답하였다. 또한 점심식사에 대한 불만을 점심식사 유형별로 분석하여 보면, 도시락의 경우 따뜻하지 않아서, 반찬의 종류가 다양하지 않아서, 반찬의 양이 부족해서, 국(찌개)이 없어서 등으로 나타났으며, 학교급식의 경우는 맛이 없어서, 반찬의 종류가 다양하지 않아서, 반찬의 양이 부족해서 순으로 답하였다. 가장 자주 먹는 반찬으로는 김치, 나물류, 불고기 등이었으며, 가장 먹고 싶은 반찬은 까스류(돈까스, 생선까스 등), 햄, 소시지 등이고, 가장 싫어하는 반찬은 당근, 마늘, 고추 등이 들어간 음식, 호박, 연근볶음 등의 야채와 나물류였다. 따라서 날로 확대되어 가는 추세에 맞춰 학교급식이 중$.$고등학생의 만족도를 높일 수 있도록 학생들의 기호에 맞으면서 영양적으로 균형잡힌 음식을 공급하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 여겨진다.
