morning is usually the longest period of fasting without
uptake of energy and nutrients.
 Skipping breakfast may result in metabolic changes that
interfere with aspects of cognitive functioning and school
performance.

RESEARCH JUSTIFICATION
To identify which factors exert more influence on the
students’breakfast comsumption and also its relation with
academic performance.
 Many researches have done on the importance of the
breakfast consumption among primary students and the
result were inconsistent.
 There are only very few researches concern about the effect
of breakfast consumption to academic performance among
university students to their academic performance.


THEREFORE, THIS STUDY WOULD BENEFIT THE
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS!
RESEARCH QUESTION
Is there relationship between breakfast
consumption and academic performance
among second year undergraduate students
2011/2012, FSK, National University of
Malaysia (UKM), KL campus?
HYPOTHESIS
There is a significant relationship between
breakfast consumption and academic
performance among second year
undergraduate students 2011/2012, Faculty
of Health Sciences, National University of
Malaysia (UKM), KL campus.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
To determine the relationship between
breakfast consumption and academic
performance among second year
undergraduate students 2011/2012,
Faculty of Health Sciences,
National University of Malaysia (UKM)
KL Campus.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

among second year undergraduate students 2011/2012, Faculty of
Health Sciences, National University of Malaysia (UKM), KL campus.

To determine the correlation between environmental factors
(accessibility, variety and family background) and breakfast among
second year undergraduate students 2011/2012, Faculty of Health
Sciences, National University of Malaysia (UKM), KL campus
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES (2)

To determine the correlation between breakfast consumption and
financial among second year undergraduate students 2011/2012,
Faculty of Health Sciences, National University of Malaysia (UKM), KL
campus.

quantity of breakfast consumption and concentration during lecture
and self learning in the morning among second year undergraduate
students 2011/2012, Faculty of Health Sciences, National University
of Malaysia (UKM), KL campus.

To compare the effect of frequency, quality and quantity of breakfast
consumption to academic performance among second year
undergraduate students 2011/2012, Faculty of Health Sciences,
National University of Malaysia (UKM), KL campus. ---- Can you check

METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH DESIGN
 Cross sectional study
SAMPLING METHOD
 Simple Stratified Sampling Method (each program is
recognized as different stratum) ---- Stratification by
PROGRAM and GENDER???? Then U can compare between
gender.
 Choice based Sampling (individual in stratum will be selected
randomly)
SAMPLING FRAME
 Chosen by name list obtained from Pejabat Dekan FSK
SAMPLING UNIT
 1 unit = 1 undergraduate
METHODOLOGY (2)
TARGET POPULATION
 All 2nd year undergraduates of University Kebangsaan
Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur Campus for 2011/2012 session.
STUDY POPULATION
 All second year undergraduate students 2011/2012,
Faculty of Health Sciences, National University of
Malaysia (UKM), KL campus.
 - how come target and study population are the same?
INCLUSION CRITERIA
 22nd year undergard
 Studying at FSK
METHODOLOGY (3)
SAMPLE SIZE CALCULATION

Study Population = 280 students
Significance Level = 5%
Degree of Accuracy = 15%

Formula: n =


χ² N P (1 - P)__
Δ² (N - 1) + χ² P (1 - P)
(Cie & Morgan 1970)
Using the formula, the number of subjects calculated are 162
subjects.
 By including the drop out rate of 10%, the desired sample size
is 180 subjects.
(will U have drop out subject? There will be no follow up is not
it?)
