Poznavanje novih znakov kakovosti na embalaži živil med osnovnošolci

Maček, Lara (author), Koch, Verena (mentor)

Uravnotežena prehrana je izrednega pomena za zdravje potrošnika. Vemo, da je ob današnji poplavi informacij ter vseh označb na živilih, ki opredeljujejo domačo, sezonsko, lokalno, ekološko, biološko hrano, težko izbrati in vedeti, katera živila so res kakovostna. Izbiro nam olajšajo tudi označbe na živilih.. Poleg osnovnih oznak na embalaži živila zasledimo različne znake kakovosti, ki največkrat označujejo izdelke z višjo kakovostjo. Namen diplomskega dela je bilo ugotoviti, koliko učenci 6. in 9. razreda poznajo izbrane nove oznake kakovosti. To sta oznaki »Izbrana kakovost« in »Najbolj inovativna živila«. »Izbrana kakovost« je oznaka, ki označuje živila, pridelana in predelana v Sloveniji. Izdelki nosijo posebne lastnosti, ki so določene s strani certifikacijskih organov in zapisane znotraj specifikacije. »Najbolj inovativna živila« je projekt, ki se odvija od leta 2015. Strokovne osebe na podlagi določenih kriterijev izberejo živila, ki so jih proizvajalci prijavili na razpis. Ta je namenjen izdelkom, ki so pridelani v Sloveniji in na novo uvedeni na tržišče. Z metodo skupinskega intervjuja so rezultati raziskave pokazali, da učenci poznajo bistvene lastnosti, ki jih nosita oznaki »Izbrana kakovost« in »Najbolj inovativna živila«. Bolj poznana jim je oznaka »Izbrana kakovost«, saj jo lažje zasledimo na izdelku kot oznako Najbolj inovativna živila. Pri slednji se proizvajalec sam odloči, ali bo proizvod oznako nosil ali ne. Razlike v znanju med učenci 6. in 9. razreda nismo opazili. Rezultati tudi kažejo , da imajo učenci 6. razreda več znanja o označevanju živil. Glede na rezultate bi bilo smiselno razmisliti o premiku predmeta gospodinjstvo v predmetnik višjih razredov osnovne šole.

• Title: Knowledge of primary school student of signs for quality on food packaging

Abstract

A balanced diet is extremely important for a consumer’s health. We know that in today’s deluge of information and with all the food labels specifying domestic, seasonal, local, organic, biological food, it is hard to select food and to know which foodstuffs really are high quality. Food labels can facilitate our selection. It is very important to know the labels, because they can help an individual select the appropriate foodstuff. In addition to the basic labels, there are different quality marks on the food packaging as well, which usually label high quality products. This diploma thesis aims to find out to what extent are students of 6th and 9th grade familiar with the selected new quality marks. These are Izbrana kakovost (meaning “Selected quality”) and Najbolj inovativna živila (“Most innovative foodstuffs”). Izbrana kakovost is a mark labeling foodstuffs that have been produced and processed in Slovenia. The products carry special features which are defined by certifying bodies and written down in the specifications. Najbolj inovativna živila is an ongoing project, which has started in 2015. Based on certain criteria, experts select foodstuffs which the producers declared on a tender. This tender is intended for products produced in Slovenia that have been newly introduced to the market. With the group interview method, the results of the survey have shown that students are acquainted with the basic features of Izbrana kakovost and Najbolj inovativna živila marks. They are more familiar with the Izbrana kakovost mark since it is easier to spot on the product than the Najbolj inovativna živila mark. With the latter, the producers themselves can decide whether their product will carry the mark or not. There was no detectable difference in the knowledge of students of 6th and of 9th grade. The results also suggest that the students of 6th grade have more knowledge about the basics of food labeling. Given the results, it would be useful to consider moving the subject of home economics into the curriculum of the upper grades of primary school.
