2023, Educational Research ReviewCitation Excerpt :A small number of these studies addressed the potential conflict between institutional eating practices and those in the family home (Derscheid et al., 2010; McSweeney et al., 2016; Swindle & Rutledge, 2020), but overall, the studies in this section focus on what happens in the educational setting. The importance of role-modeling–in which teachers eat with, and ideally eat the same foods as, the children–was highlighted in a large number of studies in this area (Erinosho et al., 2012; Fallon et al., 2018; Hendy & Raudenbush, 2000; Lehto, Ray, Vepsäläinen, et al., 2019; Lindsay, Salkeld, Greaney, & Sands, 2015; Ray, Määttä, Lehto, Roos, & Roos, 2016; Sisson et al., 2017; Wallace, Lombardi, De Backer, Costello, & Devine, 2020). For the most part, teachers report that they sit with the children and value the importance of sharing meals for encouraging healthy eating behaviors and creating a positive meal environment (see also Section 3.2.1.3).
