Identification of Core Competencies for an Undergraduate Food Safety Curriculum Using a Modified Delphi Approach

Abstract: Identification of core competencies for undergraduates in food safety is critical to assure courses and curricula are appropriate in maintaining a well‐qualified food safety workforce. The purpose of this study was to identify and refine core competencies relevant to postsecondary food safety education using a modified Delphi method. Twenty‐nine experts representing food safety professionals in academia, government, and industry were given 2 rounds of questionnaires that specified initial food safety competenc… Show more

“…As was expected from other Delphi studies (Johnston et al 2014;Penciner et al 2011;and York and Ertmer 2011) with this instrument, none of the 10 competencies that met the criteria for the final list were rated 'Strongly Agree' by 100% of participants. As a group, pre-service instructors and practitioners each rated 'Strongly Agree' on the highest number of competencies.…”

“…While the use of percentage has been commonly used to indicate agreement among participants, there is not an agreed upon definition of what constitutes consensus in a Delphi study (Hasson et al 2000). This study followed the majority of studies in using a 75% ranking 'Strongly Agree' to indicate consensus on an item (Johnston et al 2014;Penciner et al 2011;York and Ertmer 2011).…”

“…A modified Delphi technique uses both written responses and face-to-face discussions and deliberation to aggregate judgments, analyze results, and reach a workable consensus. This modified Delphi technique is often used by competency researchers across academic disciplines (Barry, Battel-Kirk, & Dempsey, 2012;Johnston et al, 2014;Lindberg, Lundström-Landegren, Johansson, Lidén, & Holm, 2012;Schultz, Koenig, Whiteside, Murray, & National Standardized All-Hazard Disaster Core Competencies Task Force, 2012;Shaikh & Khoja, 2014).…”

“…The majority of students in the course had never been inside a food manufacturing facility, which presented a challenge of providing real world context while teaching the subject matter. A recent study determined that applying theoretical knowledge to real world settings was the number one skill college graduates lack (Johnston and others ). Even though a student may comprehend the subject matter, the student may not know how to apply this in the workplace or other situations (Egan and others ).…”
