Nutrition and Health Education in Chinese Schools

The proposed research project will primarily make participant observations in Chinese schools and classrooms to study the role of nutrition and health education in China. The observations will be used to make connections and aid in reciprocal learning with Canadian schools. Ontario education places a strong focus on diversity in classrooms. Being able to observe Chinese schools will provide excellent exposure to gain new skills in multiliteracy. Proper nutrition is necessary for personal wellbeing, daily success, attentiveness, productivity and ability to focus and retain information. Being able to learn and research ways in which this is incorporated into the Chinese curriculum can aid in comparing it with the Ontario curriculum as well as personal pedagogy.
