Relationship between learning and healthy habits in Early Childhood Education

Health and learning are, among others, elements on which to structure the teaching-learning process of Early Childhood Education students, in this sense a study is proposed with the objectives of describing and comparing the sociodemographic levels, of healthy habits and learning of schoolchildren in the second stage of Early Childhood Education. 95 Students, from the second cycle of Early Childhood Education, from the capital of Granada, have participated in this work. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Questionnaire (KIDMED) and the Preschool Learning Behavior Scale (PLBS) were used for data collection. As main results, it is obtained that an optimal diet appears in most of the participants and similar figures in the three dimensions of learning behaviours. Regarding gender, girls obtained lower values in optimal diet, as opposed to learning behaviours where their data are higher. No relationships were found between the Mediterranean Diet and learning.
