Cooking with “App-titude”: Suggestions to Help Educators Promote Positive Kitchen Skills with Preschool and Elementary School Students
Abstract
Food preparation for preschool and elementary school children is described from the perspective of enhancing cognition and learning through the use of mobile devices. While most children are too young to use a stove or slice with a knife, with proper guidance and simulated experiences through mobile devices, children can actively contribute to food choice, preparation, and knowledge while educators contribute knowledge from various academic areas. The kitchen can be a positive learning environment for the educator; the student; and, potentially, people in the student's household, as part of an effort to develop a positive attitude toward food preparation. Learning implications and cooking curriculum suggestions are provided, along with future research recommendations. Educators have the potential to foster culinary mobile device interactivity when given guidelines for acceptable mobile-device application, or app, selection. Such a curriculum requires healthful food preparation practices, including cooking methods, nutritious ingredients, and practical problem-solving opportunities.
