| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We implemented and evaluated a cooking program to increase cooking skills and self-esteem for elementary school students.
Study 1: The feasibility of implementing a cooking program to increase cooking confidence and self-esteem was examined with 4th-6th grade elementary school students. These results suggested the potential to increase cooking confidence and self-esteem. Study 2: A quasi-experimental design was used to examine the effect of a cooking program that provided cooking videos and feedback to 4th-6th graders to improve their self-esteem. The results suggested that the program was effective in enhancing self-esteem among 4th-6th graders. Study 3: A cooking experience program was created for 2nd and 3rd graders in elementary school to broaden the target grade range and increase the program's versatility.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
子どもの貧困への対策として，子ども食堂等による食支援の取り組みが充実してきた。しかしながら，食事提供により空腹を満たすことができても，支援を受ける子どもたち自身の成長や自立にはつながりにくい。本研究では，子どもの成長につながる「新たな食支援」の方法を実証した。本研究でおこなった調理体験型の支援では，「料理スキル」と健やかな成長の土台となる「自己肯定感」の向上が確認された。
食事提供とは異なる，新たな食事支援の方法論を実証ししたことが，本研究の社会的な意義である。
