Capturing food-related learning moments through subject-integrated food education in early primary school
Food-related learning in school may have long-term implications for students’ food choices and health. Early primary school students in Sweden are not provided with structured, curriculum-based food education. Through a case study involving co-designed, subject-integrated food education, this study aimed to explore food-related learning among early primary school students. The research question was: What kinds of food-related learning moments eme…
Harnessing the untapped potential of food education in schools
Essential life skills related to food and meals have a potential triple dividend for children and adolescents, that is, short-term, medium-term and possible generational effects with regard to public health, sustainability and well-being of future citizens in local communities. While parents and childhood environments are a basis for learning about food and meals, systematic food education in the setting of primary and lower secondary schools may…
Striving for a holistic approach
Food education has become an umbrella term covering various understandings of our relationship with food, originating from diverse research contexts. There is often the need to form a “holistic” understanding of what food education is and what it does. In this article, we explore a holistic approach to food education and how an informal learning environment can promote and contribute toward a holistic approach to food education. We conducted our …
Resourceful family economy during LGBTQ family-forming processes
This study explores how LGBTQ parents in Finland account for the role of financial resources in their family-forming process before the child is born or otherwise joins the family. Semi-structured, thematic, face-to-face interviews (n=18) were conducted, audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed with reflexive thematic analysis. The study expands our understanding of financial resources in the family-forming processes of prospective LGBTQ parents …
I didn't Even Realize I Agreed to Meet the Child so Rarely.' Negotiations and Parental Desires in LGBTQ Family Forming Processes
This study explores the negotiations taking place in LGBTQ families before a child is born or added to the family. It asks who takes part in the negotiations and what issues are negotiated about. An online questionnaire answered by LGBTQ parents (n = 74) was analyzed with qualitative content analysis. The chain of phases leading to having a child can be referred to as a family forming process with various negotiation topics. The four phases are i…
Does food and health education in school influence students’ everyday life
Objective: The Norwegian National Action Plan for a Healthier Diet calls for discussion of new ways to communicate health information. An already established and important arena in which to do so is school, in the Food and Health (FH) subject in particular. The aim of this study was to investigate how Norwegian students experience the FH subject, and how they believe it impacts on their everyday lives. Design: Qualitative study using focus group …
Applying interthinking for learning 21st-century skills in home economics education
In this paper, we seek to determine the relationship between home economics education and 21st-century skills (critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration) in the context of social learning. We see potential in students' discussions while working together with different group members and practicing the essential skills necessary for coping in the contemporary world. Using a socio-cultural framework, we focused on students' talk…
Teacher autonomy and collaboration as part of integrative teaching – Reflections on the curriculum approach in Finland
This study builds on previous work in curriculum studies by providing insight into manifestations of the interplay between curriculum traditions, that are interested in education on a global scale and emphasized in the newest curriculum reform in Finland. This reform proposes a shift towards a competency-based curriculum, emphasizes integrative teaching and obligates to multidisciplinary teaching. Here, the suggestions are analysed from teachers'…

Using the diamond ranking method, seven groups of 8th grade pupils ranked classroom practices according to their importance for succeeding in integrative and collaborative learning tasks. The study was conducted in the context of home economics edu…
Youth Centres as Foodscapes and Informal Learning Environments in Finland
Although not adequately studied in the research on youth work, food is and has been an integral element of youth centres. This article examines what characterizes youth centres as foodscapes and explores which aspects of youth centres support the food-related learning of young people. We merge the traditions of youth work research, food education and learning. The data of the study consist of two rounds of focus group interviews ( N = 14) conduct…
The mismatch between teaching practices and curriculum goals in Norwegian Home Economics classes
Current curriculum guidelines emphasise the importance of both nutrition education and the development of practical cooking skills in the school subject Food and Health (FH). This study aimed to explore teachers’ and students’ perspectives and experiences of current classroom practices in FH. Focus group discussions (FGDs) with teachers and students at three schools in Southern Norway were conducted and thematically analysed. Our findings suggest…
Helicopter Parenting and Young Adults’ Well-Being
Helicopter parenting, defined as a form of overinvolved parenting of young adult children, is shown to be associated with young adult children’s well-being. Furthermore, the phenomenon of helicopter parenting is increasingly evident across various cultures. In this study, the association between helicopter parenting and young adult children’s well-being problems was examined, and the associations were compared between samples of American and Finn…
Navigating transitions to adulthood through secondary education
A rapidly increasing proportion of youth in developing countries pursue their transition to adulthood through post-compulsory education. Studies on the role of formal education in youth transitions tend to focus on the structural constraints to successful transitions and less attention is given to the voices and reflections of young people, particularly in-school youth. Qualitative data gathered among 100 female students enrolled in the second ye…
