Abstract

<p>The purpose of this study is to deepen understanding of traditional Japanese food culture in elementary schools. For this purpose, kelp (konbu) was taken up as a teaching material. Two nutrition teachers supported exchanges between two elementary schools, in Hokkaido and Okinawa Prefecture, using school lunches and information and communication technologies (ICT). Results showed that the use of ICT enabled exchanges between distant regions, and that school lunches, used for experiential learning, gave students a hands-on, realistic sense of their classroom studies. These experiences contributed significantly to meaningful two-way linkages between distant regions. This study confirmed the effectiveness of exchange learning that combines online communications with food-related experiences. Analysis of the post-survey questionnaire confirmed an increased awareness of the importance of kelp, local foods, and foods that have been eaten over a long history. The program deepened understanding of traditional Japanese food culture.</p>
