CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Education is the key for the students to be successful someday, though it was hard
because nowadays we are encountering pandemic due of COVID 19. Claiming the
dreams of the students was a bit hard because the teaching sessions is performed
through online classes. It is hard due to the particular reason of, some of the students are
encountering poor Internet connection and distracted in different ways. It could be
because of social media and noises in their houses. Cooking is essential to know for
everyone. it was a skill that has a big help in our daily life, cooking lessons was up in
universities for the particular reason of, it was a professional course for the senior high
school students. Somehow there are students, who are forced to join Home economics
strand by their parents. Some of them was a influenced by peers. Some of the students
act contented and happy because of their chosen strand but how does the other student
serve the food when they didn’t want what they are doing?
It leads to a negativity on how the food will be served. The activities are difficult to
do because of online classes. The senior high school has an academic strand and
vocational strand, How will the tvl student perform well? Studies were considered for
review if they contained a cooking education intervention for children aged 5 to 12 years.
This age range was selected on the basis of the average age of elementary school
children in kindergarten through sixth grade; studies that included most children outside
this age range were excluded. Interventions were the only studies of interest; therefore,
randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies were the only types
of studies accepted. To adequately assess program impact, the minimum sample size
allowed was 10. Cooking education programs were defined as those that occurred in a
community or school setting and involved food preparation lessons. Studies were
required to adequately describe the cooking intervention and at least include the
frequency of cooking activities and types of recipes made. Those studies that only
Practical Research 2
evaluated a previously conducted intervention or did not contain hands-on cooking
by children were also excluded.
Their skills through online classes? Being promoted to the next grade is an exciting
experience. However, many students do not realize that it is going to be a relatively more
advanced curriculum and an increased workload. When they enter their new class, they
feel overwhelmed with the pile of homework, they are required to do every day. They
might feel difficulty getting to grips with the new curriculum as well. Culinary interventions
(cooking classes) have been used to improve the quality of dietary intake and change
behavior. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the effects of culinary
interventions on dietary intake and behavioral and cardio metabolic outcomes.
As a students, we try our best to make use of what we have at home and ensure
we don’t get left behind. Although online learning may be the best option we have for
now, still you can’t help but wonder how everyone is adjusting and coping with the
problems that arise while attending online classes, especially during synchronous
classes. Synchronous classes are classes conducted in real-time and during this time, a
lot of problems arise. Sadly, most of these problems are technical. Studying is important
because it was the one that will help everyone to become a successful and guide students
who wants to become an successful entrepreneur someday but it was a bit difficult.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Based on the food choice model, the first medium that influences one’s food choice is
developmental. Food choices are often developed and influenced through exposure
over the individual’s developmental lifespan. From the child is born, his family would be
the primary medium for his exposure and socialization to the food that he consumes.
Usually, the food consumed would belong to the culture which the child family stemmed
from. Rarely would the child be allowed autonomy over the choice of food. (Fieldhouse,
1998).
Applying this to an Asian context which I was born in; since young, I was exposed to
Chinese cultural foods where lard, soy sauce, sugar and salt was often used to enhance
the flavour and fragrance of meals. I was used to eating these daily and never would
have thought I would be exposed to other food choices. This exposure came when I
progressed into adolescence where a secondary type of socialization took place –
school, media, friends or an older sibling. When a child enters school, and gets exposed
to friends and the media, they will observe what their peers consume and get exposed
to food advertisements on the media, all which grabs their attention and leads them to
change in their food habits (Fieldhouse, 1998; Ogden, 2010). Remembering vividly back
to high school, if my peers or elder sister ordered a meal, I would order the same meal
as them due to my perception that they know what food tasted better. In addition, when
shown food advertisements, it often makes me crave a bite.
Practical Research 2
The second medium is our cognition. Based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (Ogden,
2010, p44), it posits that an individual’s attitude and his subjective norms drives his
intention to perform the behavior which then leads to the individual performing the
behavior. Again, applying it to Chinese cuisine, it is the subjective norm that one should
use all parts of the animal (e.g. chicken)-including the organs- during cooking as they
have nutritional values. Therefore, I feel it is normal to cook every part of the chicken
(attitude towards behaviour). Given that a whole chicken can be conveniently bought at
any supermarket, I would turn the various parts into different dishes for my family
(performing of specific behaviour). Despite, knowing that animal organs for example are
high in saturated fat and can cause heart diseases (Jesus, 2015). The third medium
made more food choices. But, being a student with no source of income, I
must be thrifty and limit my choices.

CHAPTER II
FOREIGN STUDIES
Having various health resources is important for children; however, they may receive
conflicting information with differences in accuracy between the sources. Researchers
developed eight-nutrition education messages about eight different foods, four of which
were true and four of which were nutrition misconceptions (Main & Wise, 2002). The
developmental skills that are particularly important to nutrition education for children 9-11
years old are cognitive, language, emotional, and social skills. During this time, children’s
cognitive skills are improving, such as: logical thought, planning, the ability to rehearse
and organize information to aid in memory, and self-regulation. In addition, a greater and
better-organized long-term knowledge is established (Berk, 2002). A person’s preference
for sweet and salty taste has been linked to evolution (Schwartz & Puhl, 2003). For
instance, sweetness has been viewed to determine the energy value of food. Bitter foods
have been avoided due their link with toxic substances. Early experience or exposure
and learning to accept or try new foods can modify these predispositions. Those children
who have repeated exposure to either plain or flavored food tend to decrease their
preference for the food that they were exposed to less (Schwartz & Puhl). The innate
preferences for sweet tastes and avoidance of bitter tastes have been studied with human
infants. Infant responses to salty and sour tastes are inconsistent. Human infants given
sweet and bitter solutions have been found to respond with different facial expressions
(Hursti, 1999). Most health education efforts have little impact on health habits. One of
the reasons that children do not apply the information they receive into healthy habits is
because children are not concerned with their health, when they feel good a majority of
the time (Berk, 2002).
Practical Research 2
using multiple methods of reinforcement and modeling will enhance a child’s ability to
translate their knowledge of nutrition into healthy eating habits.
Children’s preference for one food over others can be affected by a variety of factors
including genetic predispositions, parents’ child-feeding practices, food neophobia, and
food aversions based on photonegative consequences. The developmental system’s
perspective views development of food preferences as a result of interactions between
genetic predispositions and environmental factors (Birch, 1999; Schwartz and Pull, 2003;
Birch and Fisher, 1998; Bull, 1988). Examples of genetic predispositions that restrict food
preferences include the predisposition to prefer foods that are sweet and salty compared
to sour and bitter.
The innate preferences for sweet tastes and avoidance of bitter tastes have been
studied with human infants. Infant responses to salty and sour tastes are inconsistent.
Human infants given sweet and bitter solutions have been found to respond with different
facial expressions (Hursti, 1999). Although there are no data indicating that children have
an innate preference for high fat or high energy dense foods, researchers have concluded
that repeated experience with foods that are energy dense can enhance their preferences
for these types of foods through associative conditioning
In one study of parental opinions on children’s’ food preferences, 40% of parents reported
that they believed restricting or forbidding consumption of a food.
LOCAL STUDIES
Practical Research 2
nutrition education does not exist, therefore, “An effective approach for nutrition educators
is to incorporate constructs from competing theories and then refine these into a tailored
theory or set of theories by empirical testing” (Achterberg & Miller). Also, current theories
do not predict all behavior or behavior change. One example of theory often used in
nutrition education is Social Learning Theory, also known as Social Cognitive Theory.
Social Learning Theory is most often used in behaviorally based studies (Contento et al.,
1995). School based interventions that have included social learning theory have had
positive results (Reynolds, Hinton, Shewchuk & Hickey, 1999). In Social Learning Theory,
personal influences, environmental influences, and behavior equally interact with each
other to explain and/or predict changes in behavior (Liquori et al., 1998; Reynolds et al.,
1999). These influences are referred to as “reciprocal determinism”, which means that a
change in one of the three components will produce changes in the others (Reynolds et
al.). Social Learning Theory is based on the premise that people learn from external
factors as well as from observing models (Glanz, Lewis & Rimer, 1993). Few studies have
been conducted involving cooking classes. Only four studies including children have been
published in the past seven years. The studies focused on increasing knowledge of
nutrition and cooking skills via hands on cooking experience, in the hopes of changing
dietary behaviors.
One of the problems with knowledge based nutrition education is that increased
knowledge does not necessarily mean that behaviors will change (Contento). Nutrition
education programs should be designed to provide both nutrition knowledge and enhance
skills, in order to facilitate behavior change of participants.
Social Learning Theory is based on the premise that people learn from external factors
as well as from observing models (Glanz, Lewis & Rimer, 1993). In addition, people learn
vicariously from watching negative models. Examples of environmental influences include
family support, barriers, teaching skills, and reinforcement for behavior change. Personal
factors such as self-efficacy and outcome expectations can directly influence behavior.
Behaviors can also be reinforced through the environment such as meeting new friends
that support the behavior (Reynolds). Practicing and demonstrating skills are an
Practical Research 2
important part of Social Learning theory. The educator can use positive reinforcement,
which in result will enhance motivation and self-efficacy. Social Learning Theory is learner
centered, and is a valuable tool for discussion sessions, mentoring, and role-playing. The
researchers implemented various components including school lunch, classroom, parent,
and community involvement. In an attempt to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The primary goal or the objective of this study is to know the impact of “ The impact of
cooking classes on food preference, attitude and behavior of Home Economics Class in
St. Vincent College of Cabuyao”. It seeks to find out the following, The level of
exposure in cooking classes by the student level of the food preference towards cooking
and the significant between the two.
The respondents of this study were 12 HE- A and HE-B students from St. Vincent
College of Cabuyao, division of Cabuyao City.
As the students answered the survey questionnaire most of them are always attending
cooking classes and it was a big help for them.
CONCLUSION
1. The researcher concluded that age of the learners doesn’t affect their attitude and
behavior in cooking.
Practical Research 2
2) .There is a significant difference between cooking class and food preference toward
cooking. The taste of what is being cooked can be affected by the behavior while you
are cooking.
RECONMMENDATION
1) . The researcher recommend that the students should always attend their cooking
classes learn new things in cooking and it has a different benefits that the students will
use in their daily life ever in their future jobs.
2) The researchers recommend that the students should know that in preparing food
they must know even the simple things in cooking.
3) The researchers recommend that the student should be responsible in cooking and
have good attitude in preparing food, they should know what are the rules in cooking
and food ingredients choices.
