Background: Scoping reviews are used to provide a wide range of evidence on a given topic, which serves as a useful methodological approach in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). The purpose of this study is to examine nutrition and dietetics programs specifically. In current practices, active learning strategies are recommended to…

This review aimed to identify measurement tools to assess dietary intake and physical activity (PA) among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and describe the evidence of validity and availability of each tool. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO using keywords for ASD, PA, diet, and assessment/measurement…

We conducted a systematic review of the literature to evaluate the quality of the dietary data and the methods used to obtain them in studies with children and adolescents with ASD. The search of PsycINFO, PubMed, SciELO, and Web of Science using SPIDER strategy retrieved 1975 studies. Data on dietary intake assessment methodologies were…

The use of simulation holds promise for the future of dietetics education in its ability to replace up to 30% of the 1,000 required supervised practice hours for the training of future Registered Dietitian Nutritionists. Even more so, simulation is a teaching tool. When done well, such alternate learning experiences can challenge students in a…

Therapeutic translations of the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) axis are reconstructing the educational subject in a manner amenable to Foucauldian analysis. Yet, at the same time, under the sway of MGB research social scientists are taking a biosocial turn that threatens the integrity of Foucault's historicizing philosophical project. Meeting that…

The use of Simulation-Based Learning (SBL) has increased in Nutrition and Dietetic (N&D) programs, although the research supporting its usability in N&D students is lacking. There are limited quality SBL instruments available that have been validated and tested for reliability in N&D students preparing for clinical practice. This…

Home economics is a diverse helping field that includes the areas of child development and education, nutrition, cooking, and the dietetics profession. Historically, these fields have been the domain of heterosexual cisgender women, with research and discussions of queerness limited. In this article, using queer methodologies and a queer…

This qualitative study evaluated the use of guided reading questions (GRQ) as a scaffolding technique in a flipped classroom among graduate dietetic interns to assess how their experience with a flipped classroom differed compared to previous cohorts without GRQ. Graduate Dietetic Interns (n=10) enrolled in a flipped graduate-level metabolism…

This study examines considerations that are required for successful implementation of flipped learning by tracing how lecturers in a university postgraduate dietetic programme designed and executed flipped learning across an academic year. Inductive analysis of lecturers' lesson design rationalisation, student learning artefacts and feedback was…

The exploitation of animals for human purposes raises several ethical concerns in the educational realm that ought to be carefully dealt with. Derived from the content analysis of sample of 39 Portuguese secondary and high school textbooks, this study aims to understand how factory-farmed animals are represented within the following themes: food…

During the spring semester of 2020, COVID-19 disrupted teaching at universities across the United States ("Coronavirus Hits Campus," 2020). Transitioning courses online presented many difficulties for instructors (Gannon, 2020; McMurtrie, 2020b; Schmalz, 2020), and educators in family and consumer sciences (FCS)--and dietetics in…

The education and training of future food and nutrition professionals plays a vital role in preparation for managing complex food and nutrition problems. Within food systems, food???? and nutrition professionals provide nutrition education to individuals and families and work to ensure? ?access???? to nutritious and culturally significant foods.…

Purpose: This study aims to share experiences of an easy to adapt service-learning approach in a graduate course on life cycle assessment (LCA). Specifically, it reports on how students helped the university's cafeteria to assess meals by conducting an LCA for 25 meals and identifying environmental hotspots. Design/methodology/approach: A…

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to many psychiatric disorders. Ketogenic diets have been shown to reduce mitochondrial dysfunction and thus may be helpful to patients who suffer from these disorders. In this article, we review the effects of a ketogenic diet in patients with psychiatric disorders such as autism, depression, anxiety, and…

Many children learn about and experience animals in the everyday environment where they live and attend school. One way to obtain information about children's understanding of concepts or phenomena is by using their drawings in combination with written responses or interviews. This study assesses how much Slovenian students 10-15 years old (in…
