Purpose : The purpose of this study was to develop an obese elementary students education program available for blended learning environments, which referred to a combination of offline and online learning. And it’s also intended to verify its effect to boost the efficiency of obese school children’s learning about obesity.
Methods : The subjects were 52(experimental group=21, control group=31) fourth, fifth and sixth graders who were overweight or obese children. The data was analyzed by ANCOVA.
Results : The obese elementary students education program tailored to blended learning setting wasn’t more conducive to lowering the obesity level of the obese students than the typical obese elementary students education program. But the obese elementary students education program tailored to blended learning setting was more effective than the typical one in improving the knowledge of the obese students about obesity, and in enhancing the academic self-efficacy of the children.
Conclusion : As the obese elementary students education program tailored to blended learning setting was effective in boosting the relevant knowledge and academic self-efficacy of the children, sustained research efforts should be put into developing obese elementary students education programs available for both online and offline to help students to access information on obesity and manage it better.
