Can the introduction of an authentic learning exercise lead to the modulation of breakfast behavior in undergraduate students at University of La Réunion?

Abstract

This study introduced an authentic learning exercise (endocrinology practical exercise) to undergraduate biology students and ascertained whether it changed their views regarding the nature and regularity of breakfast meals. Here, many altered their breakfast dietary habits, which persisted even after the completion of their module. Authentic teaching approaches can therefore trigger relatively long-lasting changes in terms of breakfast behavioral patterns in young people and may also impact the broader society.
