Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a healthy recipe curriculum based on the wisdom of the elderly in Hang Chat District, Lampang Province. The method used is participatory action research, starting with identifying food identities from the wisdom of 30 local scholars selected purposively. This information was then used to create a local curriculum and a manual for basic education. The quality of the curriculum was then assessed by 5 experts, purposively selected based on their expertise in curriculum, measurement and evaluation, and local food. The curriculum was then piloted and its effectiveness studied at one school, with volunteers participating. Data was collected using in-depth interviews, questionnaires, group meeting records, and tests. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, E1/E2, E.I., Nonparametric Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and content analysis. The results showed that there was a total of 80 healthy food identities based on wisdom. The curriculum received a quality assessment score from experts ranging from 0.67 to 1.00. The pilot study found that the curriculum had an E1/E2 value of 84.50/89.50 and E.I.=0.77 Post-test scores were significantly higher than pre-test scores at a statistical level of .001 (Z = -3.18, p < .001), and overall satisfaction assessment results were at a high level.
