Abstract

<p>Purpose: We conducted short lessons on drinking milk for junior high school students and examined the changes in their awareness (knowledge and understanding) and willingness to drink milk.</p><p>Method: We conducted short lessons (hereinafter referred to as "3-minute lessons") for 561 first-year junior high school students from August to September 2017. We used the verbal teaching method, which makes the lessons easy to conduct during school lunch breaks. After the lessons, we surveyed students' knowledge and understanding of school lunch milk using a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of seven specific questions and additional open-ended questions. We then examined the data by gender using an χ2 test for the seven questions and the Kawakita Jiro method for the open-ended questions.</p><p>Results: After the 3-minute lessons, 89.3% of the boys and 93.5% of the girls demonstrated increased knowledge about school lunch milk, and 90.4% of the boys and 93.8% of the girls wished to learn more about drinking milk. The results also showed that 85.6% of the boys and 73.5% of the girls wanted to continue drinking milk every day.</p><p>Conclusion: We observed an increase in the knowledge about school lunch milk among the first-year junior high school students after the 3-minute lessons were conducted, but were unable to ascertain any effects of the lessons in terms of increasing the students' willingness to continue drinking milk daily. However, many of the students had an interest in continuing the 3-minute lessons, which shows the necessity to examine the relationship between continuous education on milk and changes in awareness of drinking milk, including changes in the willingness to drink milk.</p>
