Correlation of Breakfast with Learning Concentration in Fourth Grade Elementary School

Abstract

Breakfast is very important for schoolchildren. Breakfast will spur growth and maximize children's abilities at school. This study aims to analyze the correlation of breakfast with the learning concentration of fourth grade elementary school students. The method used in this study is a survey method by conducting treatment in data collection, by distributing questionnaires, tests, structured interviews, and so on. This study uses a descriptive approach, because the phenomena or symptoms observed in the research are in the form of data. The subjects in this study were 24 students including 11 male students and 13 female students. The measuring instrument or tool used is the Likert Scale and the data analysis technique used is to use a "significant test". Correlation test can analyze how the relationship between x and y variables. To calculate item analysis and correlation, the product moment correlation coefficient formula is used. The results showed that the correlation between breakfast and learning concentration resulted in a number of 0.987. This shows that there is a very close relationship between breakfast and student learning concentration. If breakfast is increased, it will show an increase in student learning concentration. Based on the results of the correlation analysis, the hypothesis proposed is that there is a relationship between breakfast and student learning concentration.
