The purpose of this experimental research study was to determine if significant differences existed in the adjusted mean scores in achievement of second grade students receiving instruction on the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. Administrators in Mississippi's 523 elementary schools received the state nutrition curriculum, Pyramid Pursuit, for dissemination to their instructors through the nutrition strand of the 1994 Comprehensive School Health Mandate. The experimental groups were taught utilizing either Pyramid Pursuit or the traditional textbook accompanied by commercially prepared teaching materials.

520 $a The purpose of this experimental research study was to determine if significant differences existed in the adjusted mean scores in achievement of second grade students receiving instruction on the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. Administrators in Mississippi's 523 elementary schools received the state nutrition curriculum, Pyramid Pursuit, for dissemination to their instructors through the nutrition strand of the 1994 Comprehensive School Health Mandate. The experimental groups were taught utilizing either Pyramid Pursuit or the traditional textbook accompanied by commercially prepared teaching materials.
520 $a This experimental study was applied to classes of second grade students using a pretest-posttest design with an analysis of covariance. Cumulative scores were obtained from the students' second grade records of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. These achievement scores were then used as the covariate. A control group of three classrooms of approximately eighty students with no prior involvement in nutrition instruction participated initially in the final assessment activity, using the posttest measure as a pretest. The experimental groups were composed of six classes with approximately one hundred sixty students divided between treatments of instruction using Pyramid Pursuit curriculum or teaching from traditional textbooks and commercially prepared materials. Teaching styles served as the grouping factor for the independent variable. The dependent variable in the experiment was achievement, as recorded on the validated posttest recommended for use in the instruction of the Food Guide Pyramid.
520 $a The ANCOVA analysis of the participating groups indicated the students receiving instruction from the Pyramid Pursuit curriculum scored significantly higher on the posttest of nutrition than did the students involved in instruction using traditional textbooks accompanied by commercially prepared materials. Additionally, students in both experimental treatment groups made significant gains over students in the Control group who received no prior instruction in nutrition based on the Food Guide Pyramid.
