Abstract

PurposeThis study aimed to know principals' intentions of implementing nutrition education (NE) and explore the challenges they may anticipate while implementing NE in their respective schools.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a sequential mixed-method design using a questionnaire and interviews to collect data. The quantitative data were collected from 378 secondary school principals, while 16 school principals were interviewed.FindingsThe study found principals with positive intentions towards implementing NE. The results also highlighted challenges related to capacity building, resources (both human and physical), policies and plans, roles, and responsibilities of the implementers (teachers and principals), support from higher authorities, community participation and teachers' unions. This study concludes that principals' intentions remain central to the implementation of NE in schools. However, it is necessary to overcome those challenges before its implementation.Research limitations/implicationsThe study sought to ascertain principals' intentions rather than their actual behaviour of NE implementation and hence remains limited in this area, which future research may consider. Furthermore, the research is limited to the principals' opinions on the anticipated challenges associated with NE implementation. The study did not solicit the opinions of other stakeholders, such as education managers, policymakers, teachers and communities.Originality/valueThe article is significant in terms of NE being implemented in schools to improve students' physical and academic wellbeing. The critical role of principals has been investigated by determining their intentions and the anticipated challenges associated with implementing NE. The authors declare the originality of the data.

校长实施营养教育的意图及预期挑战
目的本研究旨在了解校长实施营养教育的意图,并探讨他们在各自学校实施营养教育时可能面临的挑战。设计/方法/方法本研究采用了顺序混合方法设计,使用问卷和访谈来收集数据。定量数据收集自378名中学校长,同时采访了16名校长。研究发现,校长们对实施NE有积极的意愿。研究结果还强调了与能力建设、资源(人力和物力)、政策和计划、实施者(教师和校长)的角色和责任、上级部门的支持、社区参与和教师工会有关的挑战。本研究的结论是,校长的意愿仍然是学校实施NE的核心。然而,有必要在执行之前克服这些挑战。研究局限性/含义该研究试图确定校长实施NE的意图,而不是他们的实际行为,因此在这一领域仍然有限,未来的研究可能会考虑。此外,研究仅限于负责人对与NE实施相关的预期挑战的意见。该研究没有征求其他利益相关者的意见,如教育管理者、政策制定者、教师和社区。原创/价值这篇文章在学校实施NE以改善学生的身体和学业健康方面具有重要意义。通过确定校长的意图和与实施NE相关的预期挑战,对校长的关键作用进行了调查。作者声明了数据的独创性。
