Abstract

This work had as thematic: the influence of school meals on students' learning, and its objective is to analyze how school meals interfere in the learning of Elementary School students II and High School. The method used was a questionnaire prepared in June / 2018 and applied by the researcher at a State School in the Municipality of Cabreúva / SP. The same was composed of 7 alternative prerogatives and 1 essay, being answered during the science classes. The results analyzed showed that the pupils approve of the school lunch, but it does not have a pleasant taste and some of its dishes are not attractive. Many do not attribute the snack to their learning because it does not interfere with their daily school life. The period of time that the students are left without feeding is very large, causing several behaviors in the room, hampering the progress of classes. On the menu of the lunch, the students approve and find it appropriate, but they would change some foods to be more tasty. During the analysis of the results, it was found that some students today, still go to school only to feed themselves, therefore, do not have meals in their homes and this affects and much in their learning. Teachers and the management body need to observe the students within the classroom as they demonstrate what they are going through through their behavior. School meals need to continue with their quality and being more attractive to students' consumption, but without losing their essence, teaching healthy eating.
