Abstract

Quality in higher education includes constant interest to adapt our curricula and educational offer to the needs of the students. In recent years an increased interest is given to healthy nutrition, healthy eating behaviour. The persons required to start working with this topic are the personnel of nurseries, crèches, and kindergartens. They should acquire this knowledge during their university studies. Unfortunately, as we all know, our curriculum is already overloaded so very little is taught about this topic. This makes professionals feel unprepared to teach this subject to the children, as they lack knowledge. We have done a research in the kindergartens of Timisoara and also among the students of the Educational Sciences department to assess the situation and the needs in this area. In cooperation with 4 other universities we have conceived a best practice guide to help professionals deal with this problem.
