| Sumario: | Introduction This research aimed to understand how perceptions of eating habits and physical self-concept manifest in the nutritional, physical, academic, social, and psychological lives of students at a one-room schoolhouse in the village of Huariquiña, Huarochirí. Methods A qualitative approach with a phenomenological design was used, employing semi-structured interviews with ten primary school students. Results The findings showed that students had basic notions about healthy eating, although with conceptual misconceptions influenced by their family and cultural context. Regarding physical self-concept, they expressed acceptance and motivation, but also comparison with and dependence on the opinions of others. Discussion It was concluded that the family, the school, and physical education play an important role in building healthy habits and forming a positive self-image, highlighting the need to strengthen nutritional and emotional education in rural contexts. |
