Week 2 Working Definition
Using Systems Thinking
1£500?
We need to have a rough idea of what to
investigate
• We don’t know precisely what we are investigating
• We need to know whether anyone else has encountered it before
• We need to reflect on whether we have encountered something
similar ourselves
• We then need to derive a working definition to set a limit and scope
to our investigation going forward
2
An example of some literature
• Tobin, K. J. (2013) Fast‐food consumption and educational test scores
in the USA Child: Care, Health and Development, Vol.39(1), pp.118-
124
• “which controlled for 25 student background characteristics,
higher‐than‐average fast‐food consumption (‘four to six times in the last 7
days’ or more) was associated with significantly lower test scores in both
reading (−11.15 points or 0.48 SD) and math (−11.13 points or 0.52 SD),
even when teacher experience, school poverty level and school urbanicity
were also included in the model”.
• How relevant could this be to university students in Northampton?
• We may conclude that almost nobody is researching this in the UK
• We are doing something unique and new here

Fdn016a week 2 working definition
3 definitions, for example
1. The Department of Health (5 Dec 2017) defines food poverty as
'The inability to afford, or to have access to, food to make up a healthy
diet.'
2. “jobs, using food banks and being afraid of not being able to pay rent.”
https://www.telegraph.co.uk › Education 10 Jan 2017
3. the insufficient economic access to an adequate quantity and quality of
food to maintain a nutritionally satisfactory, socially acceptable diet….. a
social dimension is recognised as a pertinent factor to individual
requirements given the influence of factors such as education, skills,
culture, preferences and emotional relationship with products.
Niamh O'Connor, Karim Farag, Richard Baines, (2016) "What is food poverty? A conceptual framework", British Food Journal, Vol.
118 Issue: 2, pp.429-449, https://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/full/10.1108/BFJ-06-2015-0222

Student Food system
• Poverty = the dysfunction, what poverties might we be considering?
• Financial, skills, experience, confidence, willingness?
• Student Food: what is the purpose of food (beyond just staying alive)?
• What is the outcome of a well functioning student food system at a
university?
• What parts, boundaries, processes and people might we expect to
find in this well functioning student food system?
10
WORKING DEFINITION: student food poverty are dysfunctions {financial, skills,
insecurity, poverties} in a system of student food provision that has the
purpose of [keeping students fit and healthy] and the parts of {shops,
supermarkets, fast food outlets, delivery services} with the outcomes of
[improving educational outcomes], involving the following people {friends,
parents, caterers, shopkeepers} and these processes {buying, preparing,
cooking food etc } and these boundaries {campus, halls, student house,
home}.
This is complicated, but (believe me) more thorough and useful

Fdn016a week 2 working definition

  • 1. Week 2 Working Definition Using Systems Thinking 1£500?
  • 2. We need to have a rough idea of what to investigate • We don’t know precisely what we are investigating • We need to know whether anyone else has encountered it before • We need to reflect on whether we have encountered something similar ourselves • We then need to derive a working definition to set a limit and scope to our investigation going forward 2
  • 3. An example of some literature • Tobin, K. J. (2013) Fast‐food consumption and educational test scores in the USA Child: Care, Health and Development, Vol.39(1), pp.118- 124 • “which controlled for 25 student background characteristics, higher‐than‐average fast‐food consumption (‘four to six times in the last 7 days’ or more) was associated with significantly lower test scores in both reading (−11.15 points or 0.48 SD) and math (−11.13 points or 0.52 SD), even when teacher experience, school poverty level and school urbanicity were also included in the model”. • How relevant could this be to university students in Northampton? • We may conclude that almost nobody is researching this in the UK • We are doing something unique and new here 3
  • 5. 3 definitions, for example 1. The Department of Health (5 Dec 2017) defines food poverty as 'The inability to afford, or to have access to, food to make up a healthy diet.' 2. “jobs, using food banks and being afraid of not being able to pay rent.” https://www.telegraph.co.uk › Education 10 Jan 2017 3. the insufficient economic access to an adequate quantity and quality of food to maintain a nutritionally satisfactory, socially acceptable diet….. a social dimension is recognised as a pertinent factor to individual requirements given the influence of factors such as education, skills, culture, preferences and emotional relationship with products. Niamh O'Connor, Karim Farag, Richard Baines, (2016) "What is food poverty? A conceptual framework", British Food Journal, Vol. 118 Issue: 2, pp.429-449, https://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/full/10.1108/BFJ-06-2015-0222 5

  • 10. Student Food system • Poverty = the dysfunction, what poverties might we be considering? • Financial, skills, experience, confidence, willingness? • Student Food: what is the purpose of food (beyond just staying alive)? • What is the outcome of a well functioning student food system at a university? • What parts, boundaries, processes and people might we expect to find in this well functioning student food system? 10
