Thesis (Ed.D.)--Boston University, 1991.

The use of computers in food and nutrition services increased dramatically in the 1980's with the proliferation of the microcomputer. However, computer utilization in the school food service industry experienced very slow growth throughout this same time period. Part of the under-utilization is attributable to lack of software. However, research has confirmed lack of knowledge to be an additional reason.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The use of computers in food and nutrition services increased dramatically in the 1980's with the proliferation of the microcomputer. However, computer utilization in the school food service industry experienced very slow growth throughout this same time period. Part of the under-utilization is attributable to lack of software. However, research has confirmed lack of knowledge to be an additional reason.
520 $a This study investigated three different methods for training management personnel to use computers in school food programs. The three methods were: (a) Workshop Method, (b) Case Study Method, and (c) Independent Study. The training was designed to increase managements' knowledge of computers by instructing them in the principles of conducting a needs assessment of the school food program and evaluating software for achieving objectives. In addition, the study compared managements' attitudes toward computers before and after training.
520 $a Participants in the study were evaluated by pre-test and at the end of one month and three months to compare changes, if any, in attitudes, knowledge base, software needs, and progress toward computer implementation in school food programs.
520 $a Results showed that, from the study's inception, managements' attitudes toward computers were positive in the food service program. Attitudes were studied for computer anxiety, confidence, liking, and usefulness. Participants in the Independent Study Method exhibited attitudes of computer anxiety at the pre-test and after one month in comparison to those in the Workshop Method. At the end of three months, differences in attitudes were not apparent.
520 $a Other results showed activity among participants' responses in the areas of knowledge of food service functions for computerization, determination of software needs, and minimal progress toward computer implementation. Differences resulting from the type of training were not significant, although the Workshop Method and Case Study Method had higher mean rank scores than did the Independent Study Method. Changes in software needs were demonstrated by all three methods. Background information related to computer experience, administrative support, need for training, and demographics was further analyzed and reported.
520 $a The results indicated that additional training time and a longer time period for implementation may be required. Suggestions for future research include a continued longitudinal commitment from professional organizations and state child nutrition departments.
