Feeding Program and Self-esteem of Grade 10 Students of Porfirio G.

Comia Memorial
National High School Basis for a Comprehensive Dietary Plan

CHAPTER ONE
The PROBLEM and its SETTING

Introduction
"Education plays an important role in building up the society. In modern day society
and the nation cannot achieve the aims of economic growth and development without
educating and nurturing the talent of its citizens. The present state of affairs needs
immediate attention of students in the process of education". (Pavithran,S.2015). It as long
been a concern of many factors contributing to academic performance among students in
learning institutions, starting from as low a pre-school to as hig tertiary level.
Most people feel bad about themselves from time to time. Feelings of low self-
esteem may be triggered by being poorly treated by someone else recently or in the past,
or by a person’s own judgements of him or herself. This is normal. However, low self-
esteem is a constant companion for too many people, especially those who experience
depression, anxiety, phobias, psychosis, delusional thinking, or who have an illness or a
disability. If you are one of these people, you may go through life, feeling bad about
yourself needlessly. (Building self-esteem: a self-help guide). Some reasons why people
lack in self-esteem is because of their own experiences. Some of them experienced being
bullied because of their body image maybe they are too thin or too fat, that’s why we are
going to propose a project that could help student to normalize their image. But before we
start our proposal let us first know what body image is. Body image is both the mental
picture you have of your own body and how you see yourself when you look in a mirror.
As you can see, body and image and self-esteem influence one another. When you have a
healthy body image, you feel comfortable about your body and know how to take care for
it. (Jessie’s legacy, a program of family service). Self-esteem sometimes depends on a
person’s body image because it is the common reason why they are bullied. Being bullied
is one of the reason why people lack self-esteem especially students. That’s why in order
for them to have good shape we are going to conduct a feeding program for students.
 School Feeding Programs have been defined by the World Bank as “targeted social
safety nets that provide both educational and health benefits to the most vulnerable
children, thereby increasing enrollment rates, reducing absenteeism, and improving food
security at the household level (en.m.wikipedia.org). These program aims to help children
who doesn’t have enough money to buy healthy foods that we need in our body. They help
students so that they can think clearly and participate actively in class. Good health is
important to everyone especially to students because they need a lot of energy during their
class. Feeding Program also help malnourished children to gain weight and become
healthy.
The school-based feeding program is here to address undernutrition and short-term
hunger among public school children. This program of the Department of Education
primarily aims to improve the nutritional status of the beneficiaries
(www.pressreader.com). They tend to help students in having a healthy body and mind. In
the conduct of school’s feeding program it helps student to have a higher school attendance
and lessen dropout rates. These program helps the parents of the student through feeding
program by caring for the children who need them. School Feeding Programs illustrate the
role education and school have in the long term development of the country. This is the
most obvious through the education and health improvements of children, which lead to a
greater earning potential later in life, thus breaking the cross-generational cycle of poverty.
(Hgsf-global.org).
School Feeding Program helps in fighting students’ hunger, by ensuring at least one
nutritious meal daily to support access to education. The high level of food insecurity,
significant incidence of malnutrition and economic meltdown all combine to make school
feeding relevant (www.thewomenstorch.com). With feeding program families who cannot
afford to buy healthy foods for their children will be thankful because
Through this research we can identify the importance of Feeding Program to Self-
esteem. Feeding program enhances students’ self-esteem by giving them nutritious meal
that would make them healthy so that they could actively participate in their class. This
program can also help in forming their body image. Students will have high self-esteem if
they have a good health and bright mind that’s why it is important to eat healthy foods.
Research Locale
Porfirio G. Comia Memorial National High School (COMEHI), formerly known as
Barcenaga Barangay High School, Barcenaga High School, and Barcenaga Barrio High
School, is 10,000 sq. meter milieu located at the western part of the Municipality of Naujan
which serves the student of the Barangay Barcenaga who mostly live through farming and
multi-scale businesses. Adjacent to the Elementary School, the site for the Barcenaga High
School has an area of 10,000 square meters, it was donated by the late Naujan Municipal
Mayor Porfirio G. Comia and titled in the name of the Department of Education, Culture
and Sports.
In 1976, Barcenaga High School was created and started its operation with barely
35 students. The school maintained its enrolment and unloaded its first graduates in S.Y.
1972-1973.
After almost five decades of continuous changes in the curriculum, it was in 2013,
that the Division’s preparation for the Senior High School has begun. In 2016, the Senior
High School program was offered in the school catering number of 222 Grade 11 students.
Currently the school has 2,006 students: 1,620 in Junior High School and 386 in Senior
High School. There are now 58 STEM students in Grade 11 and 12. Gas has 328 students
with a total of three sections in Grade 11 and five sections in Grade 12. (Source: Porfirio

Theoretical Framework
This research is grounded on the following theories which helped the researcher
better establish the structure of the study.
This article looks to provide an insight into the plethora of research literature,
measures and definitions available in the field of self-esteem. Its origins, from both a
theoretical and contemporary perspective, are assessed before reviewing the three
significant hypothesis battling for center ground in the debate over self-esteem’s actual
function; Self-Determination Theory, Sociometer Theory and Terror Management Theory.
Self-esteem as a social construct and possible significance of resulting contingent domains
provide the basis for the discussion on value.
Self-Determination Theory
Self-Determination Theory (SDT) states that man is born with an intrinsic
motivation to explore, absorb and master his surroundings and that true high self-esteem
(Deci & Ryan, 1995 as cited in Ryan & Deci, 2004) is reported when the basic
psychological nutrients, or needs, of life (relatedness, competency and autonomy) are in
balance (Ryan & Deci, 2004; Reis, Sheldon, Gable, Roscoe, & Ryan, 2000 as cited in
Ryan & Deci, 2004).
When social conditions provide support and opportunity to fulfill these basic needs,
personal growth, vitality and well-being are enhanced (Chirkou, Ryan, Kim & Kaplan,
2003; La Guardia, Ryan, Couchman, & Deci, 2004).
Relatedness was an addition to the original theory to account for people’s inherent
ability to make meaning and connect with others through the internalization of cultural
practices and values (Ryan & Deci, 2004).

Theory of Need
According to Abraham Maslow (1943), “The Hierarchy of Human Needs,” it stated
that we must satisfy each need in turn starting with the first, which leads with the most
obvious needs for survival itself. Only when the lower order needs of influence and
personal development.
In Maslow hierarchy of needs, the physiological needs must be met. That children
need food in the night quality and quantity. Food is necessary because it built, protects and
repairs in the body. The malnutrition and its effect on brain development has tremendous
implications on child’s performance. Poorly fed children are more exposed to disease
infections and emotional frustrations as compared to well fed children.
It highlights the importance of food provision and security. It means that the school
must struggle to provide the basic needs for use by their students. Where food aid is
available through feeding programs, it will encourage good health, high motivation,
participation, attention in class and will obviously reduce malnutrition. It should be
properly monitored to ensure it assists the children (King, 1966).
Expectancy Theory
Victor Vroom (1964), states that employee’s motivation is an outcome of how
much an individual wants a reward (valence), the performance will lead to reward.
The school feeding program is an incentive to attract children to school and enable
them to learn. Expectancy is a momentary belief concerning the likelihood that a particular
outcome. To the pupils, expectancy is the (internal) beliefs that going to school (regularly)
will enable them acquire quality education empowers them to be free from the pains of
hunger and flood in future. Therefore, school feeding program facilities pupils to learn by
solving short-term hunger and making them healthy to cope with class work.

Conceptual Framework
In the survey of the relationship between the feeding program and student’s self-
esteem, the researchers would like to find out how feeding program affect student’s self-
esteem. The, served as bases for achieving the objectives of the study.
The first box of the conceptual framework is the independent variable which shows
the indicators of Feeding Program. It includes low BMI, very thin body, and
malnourishment.

The broken lines anticipate the results of the study which will serve as basis for a
Feed Program.
The Feeding Program is a program that will provide the students the food that will
help in normalizing their BMI.

Statement of the Problem

The statement of the problem for research was based on the following research
questions:

1. Is the level of Feeding Program of respondents based on:

a. Malnourishment
b. Very Thin Body
c. Low BMI
2. What is the level of self-esteem of the respondents?
3. Is there a significant relationship between Feeding Program and Self-Esteem?
4 As a student , what would you do to support the dietary plan?
Statement of hypothesis
There is no relationship between the Feeding Program and Self-esteem of Grade
10 students of Porfirio G. Comia Memorial National High School.

Significance of the Study

This study will be beneficial to the following:
Students. This study is focused on finding the relationship of feeding program
and self-esteem. Self-esteem is important for students, through this we can see that a
student have a healthy mind and body. Through feeding program we help students to
maintain their healthy body. This shows how the two variables are related. With feeding
program the students can maintain their healthy minds and body, with those a student will
a high self-esteem to actively participate in class, and other school activities.
Teachers. Being the facilitators of learning, this study would contribute to
teachers understanding of the relationship of feeding program and self-esteem. Through
feeding students in Porfirio G. Comia Memorial National High School will be healthier
and active in joining school activities. They have confidence because they are not feeling
weak.
Porfirio G. Comia MNHS. The findings of the study would provide the school
a first-hand data on the observation of the relationship of the two variables. Results may
be the bases to increase the number of students under the feeding program.
 Future Researcher. The study would serve as a reference for the future
researches to be conducted. Its framework encourages the future researchers to conduct a
more functional research about the relationship of feeding program and self-esteem.
Scope and limitation of the Study
This study include the sample from the whole population of the Grade 10
students under the Schools’ Feeding Program.
This study is limited to identifying the level of confidence of student undergoing
Feeding Program.

Definition of Terms
For better understanding of the study, the following terms were operationally
defined:
Feeding Program provide a delicious and nutritious meal to children to help
decrease the incidence of malnourishment.
Self-esteem is confidence in one’s worth or abilities; self-respect.
Malnutrition lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat, not
eating of the right things being unable to use the food that one does eat.
Chapter II
Review of Related LITERATURE and STUDIES
This chapter presents a brief discussion of relevant and selected literature and
studies. This will give the researcher the needed insight and background for discussion and
analysis of the finding in this study. It includes literature and studies reviewed by the
researcher which serves as guide and references for the paradigm of the study.

Related Literature
Food is instrumental on providing school children with nutritional supplements,
increasing access, and establishing attendance in the target areas (UNESCO , 1999). School
Feeding Program (SFP) is implemented with the objectives to improve children's capacity
to concentrate and assimilate information by relieving short-term hunger, improving
attendance rate and reducing afternoon absenteeism SFP handbook , 1999.
School feeding programs can thus be a powerful instrument for achieving many
multi sector benefits such as education, gender equality, food security, nutrition and health,
poverty reduction and agricultural development. The recent food, fuel and financial crises
have highlighted the importance of school feeding programs both as a social safety net for
children living in poverty and food insecurity and as a tool for stimulating local agricultural
production and economic opportunities in rural communities (Lawson, 2012)
One of the educational project is the school feeding program, where it would be the
solution to fulfill the lack of nutrients of the children living in poverty. It acts as an
instrument to solve the problem about the malnutrition, especially to the children within
the institution where they belong to. School feeding program usually exist and gives focus
in the rural communities.
Malnutrition is one of the factors that lessen self -esteem specially students who are
in their stage of development. But it is very hard to maintain a healthy body if there is an
scarcity of daily needs, food, and sanitation. For over weight it also hard to face the world
where people are always judging and making their negative comments about your physical
body.
By having a feeding program the grade 10 students of Porfirio G. Comia Memorial
National Highschool will be given the fullfilment of hunger and give the appropriate steps
for the implementation of a better health for every students of PGCMNHS. If the
malnutrition is the pulling rope of selfsteem it is should also be the focus of cure to promote
self steem and develop the confidence of every students for continuous achievement of the
"tatak comehi, tatak mahusay". By giving a proper knowledge of dietary plan and self
esteem development the obese will be also given the courage to uplift his/herself and face
the world with confidence. As the cruel society throw a firing stone then try to use a strong
shield of water. Do not be stone hearted but equip a self-esteem to protect self.
Moyses & Collares (1997) explain: hunger is the basic need for food which, when
not fulfilled, reduces the availability of any human being for both the daily and the
intellectual activities. However, once that need is fulfilled, all its negative effects cease,
without any damages. Malnutrition, in turn, occurs when hunger goes on in such intensity
and for such a long period of time that they start to interfere in the body's energy supply to
keep its metabolism working, the body adopts several "expenditure contention" measures.
In the lighter cases (the so –called level 1 or light malnutrition), it reduces the growth rate:
the body maintains all the metabolism normal at the expense of sacrificing the growth rate
(Ibidem, p.232)
Hunger has to do something for the need of food to fulfill everyone's tummy. This
just gives the proof how important the food is; how would it supply our whole body to keep
our metabolism continuously working for the normal growth of our body. If there's no
nutrients, malnutrition may occurs if the hunger intensely goes on for a long period of time.
In order to encourage good performance, a good feeding programme should be
there to encourage enrolment and attendance and discourage dropout, provide the child
with the right food for health and strength, sustain learning process in children through
encouraging participation and concentration, and prevent children from feeling hungry
while at school. Hungry children cannot pay attention in class (Mitchell et al.,1999).
Maslow concluded that human being are autonomous, self-motivated, self-
regulatory and are continually growin toward self actualization (Maslow, 1971). He also
subscribed to the notions of free will, free choice, personal responsibility, and striving for
superiority which he called "dominance-feeling" (Lowry,1973,p.19). Maslow (1943) used
the term healthy as pratically synonymous with motivation to develop and self-actualize
(Lowry; Hoffman,1999). He further acknowledged the reciprocity of healthy individuals
and their environment, stating,"Improving individual health is one approach to making a
better world" (1968, p.6).
It states that people achieve their full potential by moving from basic needs to self-
actualization. This means people tend to improve their selves.
Levinger (1989) says that SFPs make a difference in enrolment and attendance of children
to school. The programme also helps poor families by giving their children a good meal
each day and thus saving family food. SFPs cannot be expected to make a direct measurable
contribution to combating malnutrition among school children. The focus is on school
feedings role in maximising children’s learning capacity through the relief of short-term
hunger, and thus improving performance.
Children are the future of any society. For this reason, they should be the starting
point of any strategy that emphasises human development. The problem of child
malnutrition continues to plague societies and ends up affecting the education of the child.
Nutrition must be recognised as a vital component of a quality early childhood
education programme aimed at good performance. Pollit (1984) says that malnutrition has
become the highest risk factor for the educational future of children. It has serious
developmental implications in young children because their ages are critical in growth and
development. Therefore, education on nutrition should form an integral part of early
childhood education programme.
Self-esteem is a fundamental component of healthy development from childhood
through adulthood. It can be generally defined as an individual’s overall sense of self-worth
or how good they feel about themselves (Rosenberg, 1965). Self-esteem is a part of one’s
self-concept, that is, one’s knowledge and beliefs about their personal attributes (Mann et
al., 2004) along with other constructs like self-efficacy (how effective one perceives
oneself to be), internal locus of control (having the sense that one hascontrol over things
rather than the outside world having control), and self-compassion (compassion that is
directed inward towards the self) (Bolger & Patterson, 2001; Lamoureux, et al., 2012; Neff,
2003). This means through a person’s self-esteem we can say that a person is healthy.
Child maltreatment, in any of its forms, can severely impact the healthy
development of the self. Researchers have found that child maltreatment is associated with
low self-esteem, low selfcompassion, and external locus of control (that is, perceiving
external factors as having control over one’s actions and outcomes) (Bolger & Patterson,
2001; Eskin, 2012; Tanaka, et al., 2011).The researchers believed that any forms of
maltreatment to a person, can affect his/her self esteem.

Related Studies
School feeding programs (SFPs) are intended to alleviate short-term hunger,
improve nutrition and cognition of children, and transfer income to families. The present
review explores the impact of SFPs on nutritional, health, and educational outcomes of
school-aged children in developing countries. Peer-reviewed journal articles and reviews
published in the past 20 years were identified and screened for inclusion. Analysis of the
articles revealed relatively consistent positive effects of school feeding in its different
modalities on energy intake, micronutrient status, school enrollment, and attendance of the
children participating in SFPs compared to non-participants. However, the positive impact
of school feeding on growth, cognition, and academic achievement of school-aged children
receiving SFPs compared to non-school-fed children was less conclusive. This review
identifies research gaps and challenges that need to be addressed in the design and
implementation of SFPs and calls for theory-based impact evaluations to strengthen the
scientific evidence behind designing, funding, and implementing SFPs.
The school feeding program is very helpful, as a result, they help the students to be
healthy.It also fills the student lumps that gives them energy to participate in school.
Adelman, et al. (2008) present the interplay between school meals on one hand and
grade repetition, learning achievement, and school performance on the other hand. They
show that this effect works in two mechanism. First, because school meals improve class
attendance, children will spend more time learning in school. So the more time children
spend in school, the better they learn and these interplays ultimately result in improved
school performance, which thus minimizes the probabilities of drop-out. Second. Improved
nutrition may also enhance pupil participation and performance in the short and over long
run. In the short run, school meals could alleviate hunger and make children concentrate
and learn better so that school performance will be improved and hence drop-out is
minimized. In the long run school meals could enhance learning provided that meals
improve the nutritional status of children and if nutritional status also affects learnings
(Ahmed, 2004).
It is then supposed that having a school feeding program can be a big help not only
academically but also in a students health.
Malnourished children were often found to have poorer school grades than matched
controls (Galler et al. 1990, Richardson et al. 1973). This is so in spite of the children being
matched for their school class with the controls. However, in several studies no difference
was found between formerly malnourished children and their siblings (Graham and
Adrianzen 1979, Moodie et al. 1980, Richardson et al. 1973), Albert in one study a
difference was found (Pereira et al. 1979). It may be that family attitudes to education, poor
attendance and late enrollment swamp any additional intellectual disadvantage the
malnourished group may suffer.
Being malnourish has a big impact in thier studies. As a comparison to those
whose in matched control in term of the result of thier grades. Malnourish one always gets
poorer grade same as their siblings that triggered by their family attitudes, poor attendance
and additional intellectual disadavantage.
Wojtowicz1 and Ranson (2012) conducted a study on “Weighing in on risk factors
for body dissatisfaction: A one-year prospective study of middle-adolescent girls”. This
study tested predicted prospective changes in body dissatisfaction risk factors namely
weight-related teasing, thin-ideal internalization, body mass index, self -esteem, and
perfectionism. This study consisted of assessing and re assessing after one year 316
participants’ body dissatisfaction by using questionnaires. It was found that self-esteem
and BMI are relevant variables for helping to identify middle adolescent girls at risk for
increase in body dissatisfaction.
The study shows that body dissatisfaction is common among adolescent girls that
can lead to serious complications. And among the 5 risk factors, having low self esteem is
the highest factor that can lead a person to body dissatisfaction followed by Low BMI.
A study on “Body dissatisfaction and adolescent self-esteem: Prospective findings”
was conducted by Tiggermann (2006). His aim was to investigate the direction of the
relationship between adolescent girls’ body dissatisfaction and self-esteem. 242 high
school female students were taken for the study. The questionnaires on measures of weight
(BMI), body dissatisfaction and self-esteem were completed at two points in 2 years. The
study revealed that young girls with actual heavier weight and perceptions of being
overweight were in a vulnerable state of developing low self- esteem.This means being
overweight causes a person to have a low self-esteem.
The current study found that children in the underweight and overweight/obese
groups were more likely to have poor subjective health compared to normal weight
children. Consistent with the results of the current students, researchers reported
associations between weight and health perception and that underweight and obese children
were more likely to have lower scores on general health compared to normal weight
children.
 Being underweight has a profound effect on social functioning. There is a tendency
to become inward-looking and self-focused. This is exaggerated by the heightened need
for routine and predictability, and difficulty being spontaneous. As a result people
withdraw socially and get used to this way of living.
Most people feel bad about themselves from time to time. Feelings of low self-
esteem may be triggered by being treated poorly by someone else recently or in the past,
or by a person's own judgments of him or herself. This is normal. However, low self-esteem
is a constant companion for too many people, especially those who experience depression,
anxiety, phobias, psychosis, delusional thinking, or who have an illness or a disability. If
you are one of these people, you may go through life feeling bad about yourself needlessly.
Low self-esteem keeps you from enjoying life, doing the things you want to do, and
working toward personal goals.
You have a right to feel good about yourself. However, it can be very difficult to
feel good about yourself when you are under the stress of having symptoms that are hard
to manage, when you are dealing with a disability, when you are having a difficult time, or
when others are treating you badly. At these times, it is easy to be drawn into a downward
spiral of lower and lower self-esteem. For instance, you may begin feeling bad about
yourself when someone insults you, you are under a lot of pressure at work, or you are
having a difficult time getting along with someone in your family. Then you begin to give
yourself negative self-talk, like "I'm no good." That may make you feel so bad about
yourself that you do something to hurt yourself or someone else, such as getting drunk or
yelling at your children. By using the ideas and activities in this booklet, you can avoid
doing things that make you feel even worse and do those things that will make you feel
better about yourself.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the research design, the respondents of the study, the
instrument employed in data gathering and investigation, reliability of the instrument, data
gathering procedure, and statistical treatment of data used in the study.
 Research design
This is a quantitative study using descriptive-correlational design which according
to Hopkins (2008) aims to determine the relationship between one thing and another in a
population. It involved the description, recording, analysis, and interpretation of the present
nature, composition, or processes of phenomena.
A descriptive-correlational design will be used to test whether there is an existing
relationship between two or more quantifiable variables, and if there is, to what extent or
degree the relationship is (Ariola, 2014).
Through a descriptive manner of unravelling the phenomena, the researcher will
determine the relationship between the variables whether positive or negative; and the
degree or extent of the relationship is presented.

Research respondents
The researcher will use quota sampling as non-probability sampling in selecting the
respondents among the Grade 10 students of Porfirio G. Comia Memorial National High
School. Through this type of sampling, the researcher selected units from the population to
create sample based on certain characteristic. In this regard, the respondents from each
class will be selected to answer the questionnaire. Their grade average from first quarter to
third quarter will also be recorded for the purpose of identifying their academic
performance.

The following table shows the distribution of the participants of the study.

Research instrument
The study will use a closed-form questionnaire which is self-made and will go through
validation through test-retest to assess the FEEDING PROGRAM AND SELF-ESTEEM
OF GRADE 10 STUDENTS OF PORFIRIO G. COMIA MEMORIAL NATIONAL HIGH
SCHOOL BASIS FOR A COMPREHENSIVE DIETARY PLAN
It will contain eight items per indicator having a total of 24 items. The
questionnaire will also use a 5-point scale for the quantification of the gathered data.

Table 2. Scaling and Quantification of Data Used in the Questionnaire

Scale Limit Description Interpretation

5 4.5 – 5 Always Very High

4 3.5 – 4.49 Often High

3 2.5 – 3.49 Sometimes Moderate

2 1.5 -2.49 Rarely Low

1 1 – 2.49 Never Very Low

Reliability of the instrument

Before administering the questionnaire to the respondents, the researcher will use
a test-retest method to test the reliability of the questionnaire. Eight students who are not
selected in the sampling will be requested to answer the questionnaire twice over an
interval of two weeks. For each test administration, results will be tabulated. The reliability
of each part of the questionnaire will be treated using the T-test.

Data gathering procedure

A letter seeking permission to conduct the study will be given to the school
principal. After establishing the reliability of the instrument, the researchers will conduct
the study among the selected respondents. The questionnaires will be administered by the
researchers to the respondents as the researchers encourage the respondents to answer all
the items honestly for the reliability and validity of the results. After the administration of
the instruments, the researchers will seek the assistance of the Statistician to treat the data
gathered.

Statistical treatment of data

Descriptive statistics will be used in the study. Considering that the study was
finding the relationship between the given variables, correlation coefficient’s Pearson r will
be used in treating the data gathered.
Two forms of statistics will be used in analyzing the data that were collected from
the respondents. The first is descriptive statistics which includes scoring, frequency counts,
and computation of arithmetic mean.
Mean: m = ∑ x/n
Where:
m = mean
x = number of responses
n = number of respondents sample
Likewise, inferential statistics will be applied in order to test the hypothesis of the
study. Pearson’s R Correlation will be used to find the relationship between the Elementary
Education and Current Academic Standing of a student.

Inferential analysis:
Pearson Product Moment Correlation
 n(∑ xy)− (∑ x)(∑ y)
r=
√[n ∑ x2 −(∑ x)2 ][n ∑ y2 −(∑ y)2 ]

Where: r - Pearson correlation coefficient

x - Values in first set of data
y - Values in second set of data
n - Total number of values
