Evidence¶

Dudley 2015¶

Dudley, D. A., Cotton, W. G., & Peralta, L. R. (2015). Teaching approaches and strategies that promote healthy eating in primary school children: a systematic review and meta-analysis. International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 12, 28. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12966-015-0182-8

q2 · i? · quant-synthesis · r1

Meta-analysis of four experiential learning studies reporting seven nutritional knowledge outcomes, all achieving statistical significance at p < .05; six effect sizes were calculable, five large and one minimal. The review reports a mean Cohen's d of Md = 1.35.

"The mean effect size for the experiential learning approaches to nutritional knowledge was Md = 1.35 indicating this approach is a particularly strong evidence-based strategy for improving the nutritional knowledge of primary school-aged children"
