 ABSTRACT

Breakfast provides essential nutrients and energy on your body. Regular breakfast

consumption greatly affects the body performance and enhanced metabolic profiles. It

positively influences the mind, illustrating clear memory, and problem-solving abilities.

This study explores the impact of breakfast consumption on students, focusing on

theirselves and their academic performances. This study is taken to examine the effects

of breakfast intake on students. Students who eat breakfast demonstrate higher levels of

alertness, concentration, and mental performance. Academically, most students who

have breakfast before going to school shows better school attendance, higher test scores,

and participate in the class well, although some students are not affected by it. This study

employed a quantitative research design to investigate the impact of breakfast

consumption on students. The study included students from a local high school. The

survey questionnaires were distributed to students during a designated class period. A

convenience sampling method was used to recruit participants. A total of 210 students

were included in the study. The result shows that most of the students from morning shift

consumed breakfast regularly. The results also show that not eating breakfast will affect

their academic performance. This study illustrates the effects of consuming breakfast.

The topics main goal is to see if eating breakfast before going to school affect the

students performance both physically and mentally

 INTRODUCTION

The Rationale Of The Study

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It provides energy to start the day,

improving your physical and mental well-being. In recent years, students has gained

considerable amount of attention because they are the ones who commonly needs

breakfast. To know if breakfast are really needed to them, this research aims to evaluate

the overall well being of a student who takes breakfast.

This research study aims to comprehensively explore the impact of breakfast

consumption on students, focusing these factors such as academic performance, brain

function, behavior, and overall health.

These studies show that breakfast affects not only children’s nutritional status, but also

students’ cognitive development. Several possible reasons for this exist. First, adequate

nutrition can reduce the risk of children suffering from malnutrition, improve student

attendance, and improve the length and effectiveness of students’ learning time (Hinrichs

P., 2010). Second, breakfast has a short-term positive impact on children’s memory,

attention, and information processing (Adolphus K, Lawton CL, Champ CL, Dye L., 2016).

Thus, students who regularly eat breakfast are in a better state for learning in the morning

than those who do not eat breakfast or who have it only irregularly. A recent systematic

review based on 39 studies found that, in addition to the frequency of eating breakfast,

the content of breakfast affects students’ cognitive ability and learning behavior in the

morning. Breakfast foods that do not create high blood glucose levels after the meal are
better at improving students’ intellectual performance

(Edefonti V, Bravi F, Ferraroni M., 2017). Third, breakfast may be more effective in

improving children’s cognitive performance than are other family interventions. Have

found that eating breakfast had a greater effect on Hong Kong student performance than

did learning methods, motivation, self-confidence, parental education, or family income

(Hau KT., 2016). Similar studies have shown that compensating low-income families for

breakfast costs is equivalent to increasing the income of these families, and that while the

cost is not high, it effectively improves students’ math and reading scores (Kristjansson

EA, Gelli A, Welch V, et al., 2016 , Dahl GB, Lochner L., 2012).

Ultimately, the impact of breakfast consumption on morning shift students of Jagobiao

National High School was examined, with a focus to know whether it improves their

academic performance, physical health, and overall well-being or not. By analyzing these

factors, the study aimed to provide insights into the importance of breakfast and its effect

on students performance in school.

 RELATED REVIEW OF LITERATURE

This Literature Review provides a comprehensive and concise overview of the impact of

breakfast consumption on morning shift students of Jagobiao National High School in

Junior High School from 1st to 4th year. By examining the existing research on this

topic, it highlights and shows the positive effects of breakfast on cognitive performance,

physical health, and mental well-being and does not affect in their academics at all. The

findings emphasize the significance of having breakfast of morning shift students’ to

their academic success and performance.

According to Oxford Academic, Most studies that assess the effects of breakfast on

subsequent mental abilities compared performance in subjects who had or had not

consumed this meal. However, characteristics of breakfast itself may induce metabolic

and hormonal alterations of the gastrointestinal tract and potentially modify cognitive

performance. Moreover, as far as the evidence on the positive effects of having

breakfast is becoming more robust, interest may shift to the specific characteristics of

an adequate breakfast.
Statement Of The Problem

This study ultimately aims to know the impact of breakfast consumption to Morning shift

students as well as to know how could it affect on their performance.

In order to proceed the study, researchers would have to answer the following:

a.) How many morning shift students skip their breakfast?

b.) How can breakfast affect their performance ?

c.) What are the reasons why morning shift students skip their breakfast?

Hypothesis

H0: There is no significant difference between morning shift students who eats their

breakfast and morning shift students who skips breakfast.

H1:There is a significant difference between a morning shift student who eats their

breakfast and morning shift students who skips their breakfast.

Significance Of The Study

The significance of this study lies in these aspects:

Academic Performance: Research has consistently shown that breakfast is an important

meal for academic performance. By investigating the impact of breakfast consumption on

morning shift students, this study can provide valuable understanding into whether

breakfast habits affect students' attention span, memory, and overall academic

performance. The findings of this study can inform the students about the potential

benefits of promoting breakfast consumption among students.

Nutritional Health: Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day as it

provides essential nutrients and energy. Morning shift students often face time problems

and may skip breakfast. This study can assess the nutritional status of morning shift

students and examine the impact of regular breakfast consumption on their overall

nutritional health.

Behavior and Concentration: Breakfast intake has been linked to improved behavior and

concentration in various populations, including children and adolescents. Morning shift

students may experience challenges in terms of alertness, concentration, and behavior

due to early waking and long hours without food.This study can show if whether

breakfast consumption positively affects the behavior and concentration of morning shift

students.

doesn't. In addition, this study will also show as to why students doesn't eat breakfast.

Ultimately, this study mainly focuses on the students of Jagobiao National Highschool.
 METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH DESIGN

This study utilized a descriptive approach and followed an adequate

procedure. The research design employed was correlational, aiming to investigate

the connection between breakfast consumption among morning shift students and

various outcomes such as academic performance, attentiveness, mood, and

overall well-being during school hours. The descriptive research design focused

on exploring the relationship between breakfast and students' well-being.

Participants were asked to answer survey questionnaire .This study provides

valuable insights into the significance of breakfast for morning shift students and

offers valuable information for students, parents, and educators. It's important to

note that the study did not involve experimental manipulation by the researchers

and was conducted through a survey spanning several days.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

The researchers constructed a survey questionnaire, which was given to the

participants. The morning shift students were the respondents of this study. The survey

questionnaire was composed of 3 questions. The survey questionnaire consists of

questions that allow participants to share their experiences, perceptions, and behaviors

related to breakfast consumption.

RESEARCH RESPONDENTS

 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION,AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary Of Findings

The researchers gathered 210 morning shift students who participated in the research.

The result shows that 55.24% of the morning shift students at Jagobiao National High

School eat their breakfast, while 44.76% of them don't, which indicates that most of the

morning shift students are aware of how important breakfast is and regularly eat it

before class. The findings show that inability to listen attentively is the most dominant

effect on students breakfast consumption.

The same findings revealed that lack of time is the main reason students skip breakfast,

which indicates that the student doesn't have enough time to prepare for school.

Whereas inability to listen attentively is the effect of students who skip breakfast, which

indicates that lack of breakfast greatly affect students focus on class.

Using the weighted mean, the researchers discovered a correlation between skipping
breakfast and academic performance. In general, morning shift students who skip
breakfast experience a significant negative effect on their academic performance.

Conclusion

After conducting a thorough analysis of the data collected from the 210 morning shift

students at Jagobiao National High School, it is evident that the majority of these

students eat breakfast daily. However, a portion of students reported skipping breakfast

due to the scarcity of time. The findings have been demonstrated to have a correlation

between skipping breakfast and its impact on students' academic performance. Thus,
based on the results, it can be concluded that breakfast consumption significantly

affects the performance of morning shift students.

Recommendations

The primary objective of our research is to address one of the issues affecting students

in JNHS, which is breakfast skipping. Studies state that skipping breakfast may affect

students' cognitive and mental states, ultimately impacting their ability to perform well in

class.

Most participants in the survey we conducted stated that the reason students skip

breakfast is a "lack of time" to prepare for their early morning meal. Therefore, we

suggest moving the schedule from the usual 6:00 am to 7:00 am. This way, students in

JNHS will have more time to prepare and consume breakfast, which will also help them

have enough energy to get through the day in class.
