Abstract

In this research, the perception and foodservice quality satisfaction of free school meals were surveyed by elementary school students in Busan. The survey was conducted on 600 elementary students of 4~6th graders. The total score for perception of free school meals was 4.47/5.00 points. Sixth graders showed a statistically significant higher score than fourth graders (P<0.01). The overall score for satisfaction of free school meals was 4.55 points. In terms of grade, sixth graders showed a statistically significant higher score than fifth graders (P<0.05). For satisfaction of foodservice quality, average score was 4.55 points. In terms of lower-level categories, areas of food, menu, sanitation, service, and environment yielded 4.47, 4.62, 4.62, 4.53, and 4.48 points, respectively. In terms of differences by grade, sixth graders showed a statistically significant higher average score for satisfaction of foodservice quality than fourth and fifth graders (P<0.01). The overall score for perception of free school meals and overall satisfaction of foodservice quality showed a statistically significant positive correlation (P<0.01, r=0.781). In each category of foodservice quality, areas of food (r=0.733), menu (r=0.677), sanitation (r=0.636), service (r=0.673), and environment (r=0.588) showed statistically significant positive correlations (P<0.01).

본 연구는 무상급식의 교육적 의미와 급식품질 면에서의 개선점을 파악하고자 부산지역 초등학생 10개교 4, 5, 6학년 학생 600명을 대상으로 무상급식에 대한 인식 및 급식품질 만족도 조사를 시행하였고 조사기간은 2014년 12월 2일~12월 24일이었다. 연구 결과 무상급식 전체 인식 점수는 4.47/5.00점이었고 '영양(교)사와 조리원분에게 감사한 마음'(4.68점), '부모님의 급식비 부담 감소'(4.67점), '친환경 식재료 사용'(4.64점), '급식의 질 향상'(4.51점) 순으로 높게 나타났다. 6학년이 4학년보다 전체 인식 점수가 유의적(P<0.01)으로 높았고, '친환경 식재료 사용'(P<0.05), '영양과 건강에 관한 관심 증가'(P<0.05), '우리나라 경제발전에 기여'(P<0.001)에서도 높은 점수를 보였다. 무상급식 실시 연차 2년차가 4년차보다 전체 인식 점수가 유의적(P<0.01)으로 높았으며, '영양과 건강에 관한 관심 증가'(P<0.05), '가정경제에 도움'(P<0.05)에서도 높은 점수를 보였다. 급식품질 만족도에서 전체 평균점수는 4.55/5.00점이며, 음식영역 4.47점, 메뉴영역 4.62점, 위생영역 4.62점, 서비스영역 4.53점, 환경영역 4.48점이었다. 낮은 점수를 보인 항목은 음식영역에서 '밥의 양', '부반찬(나물, 생채) 양', '김치의 양', 메뉴영역에서 '김치 종류', '선호식단 제공빈도', 위생영역에서 '식판의 청결', 서비스영역에서는 '배식 시 대기시간', 환경영역에서는 '식당 분위기'였다. 6학년이 4학년보다 음식영역(P<0.01), 메뉴영역(P<0.05), 위생영역(P<0.05)에 서 급식품질 만족도가 유의적으로 높았으며, 환경영역은 5, 6학년이 4학년보다 유의적(P<0.001)으로 높은 점수를 보였다. 무상급식 실시 연차 2년차가 4년차보다 급식품질 전체 만족도(P<0.01), 음식영역(P<0.01), 메뉴영역(P<0.05), 위생영역(P<0.05), 환경영역(P<0.001)에서 유의적으로 높은 점수를 보였다. 무상급식에 대한 인식과 급식품질 만족도 간에는 유의한 양의 상관관계(r=0.781, P<0.01)를 보였고, 다른 모든 영역에서도 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 살펴볼 때 급식품질 만족도가 낮은 급식 항목에 대한 개선을 통해 학생들의 급식품질에 대한 만족도를 높여야 할 뿐만 아니라 학생들에게 교육의 일환으로 무상급식의 의미를 고취해 국가 복지 정책에 대한 긍정적인 사고를 갖게 함으로써 학생들의 정신적 육체적 건강을 유지할 수 있어야 하겠다.
