Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate middle school boys' and their parents' preference on menu types of school breakfast. School breakfast was served at a boys' middle school in Gyeonggi-do, Korea for 7 weeks. Ten types of convenient menus, including steamed rice, rice porridge, rice cake, bread, or cereal, were served to 200 students free of charge. After the service period ended, questionnaires were distributed to the students and their parents. Usable questionnaires were returned by 142 (71%) students and 124 (62%) parents. About two-thirds (66%) of the students and about half (51%) of the parents preferred convenient menus to traditional menus as school breakfast. The students were the most highly satisfied with the menu type including hot dog buns whereas the parents regarded these as neither appropriate nor inappropriate as school breakfast. Overall, the menu types including steamed rice such as Kimbap or rice balls were highly ranked in terms of the students' level of satisfaction as well as the parents' level of appropriateness evaluation. About 20% of the students and 50% of the parents expressed intention to eat or make their children eat school breakfast even if payment is required. Over two-thirds of both the students (70%) and parents (68%) responded that less than 1,500 won per meal would be the appropriate price of school breakfast. The results of this study show that convenient menus could be considered as alternatives to traditional menus in school breakfast service, although additional efforts are necessary to develop such menus to satisfy both the students and their parents.
