dc.description.abstractThis study has been conducted to illustrate the improper food habits and its effects on school success among 250 secondary school students. Cognitive development of the children is affected from genetic and environmental factors. The potential of the cognitive development of children is genetic but it has been determined that sufficient nutrition and rich stimulants have positive effects on cognitive development. The factors such as nutrition, education, genetic, environmental factors, and illness prevalence are the elements that affect the growing and subsequent life of the children. The new studies on neurotic behaviors and human growing showed that nutrition has important effects on physical, sensoral, and cognitive development of the children. To determine the secondary school students' personal and nutritional features, we used The Statistical Packet for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 17.0 packet program. We used number and percentage to understand if there is a difference between the nutrition habits and socio-economic factors of the students, and chi-square test to determine the difference between two independent groups we used independent samples "t" test. As a result nutrition education should be considered as one of the elements of formal and common-public education. The affect of adequate and well balanced nutrition cannot be denied. The best indicator of the effect of adequate and balanced nutrition on learning is not to avoid or to pass the breakfast. Especially habit of having breakfast should be given to the children and schools should have breakfast programs. It can be said that to achieve the best quality in basic education, adequate and well balanced nutrition has a great effect on brain development and cognitive functions.
