Welda Wahyu Andini, Candra Utama

Abstract


Learning concentration is a crucial aspect of successful learning, especially for elementary school students who are in their cognitive development stage. One of the factors influence concentration is the habit of eating breakfast. This study aims to examine the perceptions of fifth-grade students at State Elementary School 1 Tumpang regarding breakfast as a support for learning concentration. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques in the form of interviews with three students who have different breakfast habits. These three students were selected as the main informants based on the variation in their breakfast routines, with triangulation conducted through interviews with teachers and parents. The results of the study show that students who regularly eat breakfast demonstrate better concentration compared to those who do not. Positive perceptions of breakfast are associated with physical readiness and focus during learning, while negative perceptions lead to low energy and difficulty maintaining attention. This study highlights the important role of families and schools in fostering healthy breakfast habits as a strategic effort to improve the quality of student learning in elementary school.
