Plataforma MEAL: Herramienta innovadora para enseñar educación nutricional a maestros y nutricionistas. (2015). Tesis Psicológica, 10(2), 68-82. https://revistas.libertadores.edu.co/index.php/TesisPsicologica/article/view/627
Abstract
El consumo de alimentos poco saludables por parte de los niños es considerado actualmente como una problemática a nivel mundial en la medida en que la salud de los infantes está directamente relacionada con la dieta. Diversas intervenciones han sido implementadas con el objetivo de enseñar educación nutricional a niños, pero la mayoría se ha centrado solo en la transmisión de información nutricional. En este artículo se describirá la plataforma MEAL que ha sido creada con el objetivo de ayudar a maestros y nutricionistas a enseñar educación nutricional a niños entre 9 y 12 años de edad. MEAL está compuesta por 3 módulos con conceptos básicos relacionados con educación nutricional, pero también contiene información relacionada con el cambio de hábitos alimenticios y establecimiento de pautas saludables. Esta plataforma también cuenta con dos videojuegos educativos dirigidos a los niños. Por la forma en que está diseñada la plataforma MEAL, y al estar basada en las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación puede suponer una herramienta muy útil y efectiva para maestros y dietistas en aras de enseñar educación nutricional a los niños.References
