Abstract

The present study attempts to examine the effect of demographic characteristics and students' attitudes on the mathematics performance of Ordinary Level (OL) students in Sri Lanka. Data were collected from 110 students who sat for the 2019 OL examination, in Ratnapura Educational Zone in Sri Lanka. A structural questionnaire was used for data collection via a google form. ANOVA, t-tests, correlation tests, and descriptive statistics were employed for the data analyzing process. The results indicated that there are significant associations between mathematics performance and the demographic factors: residence, school type, parents’ educational level, and father’s occupation while the remaining factors; gender, mother’s occupation, family income, and some family members didn’t show significant relationships with mathematics performance. Results revealed a strong and significant association between mathematics performance and attitudes of students towards mathematics. Thus, the study provides empirical evidence which will support education officials, teachers, parents, and students to plan for achieving a higher performance of mathematics of OL students

Abstract

The study aims to find out how fast-food consumption affects the overweight problem among young adults. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 100 young adults aged 15 to 29 years living in Kiriella village in Ratnapura District, Sri Lanka. Information regarding fast-food consumption level, occupation, height, weight, and other relevant facts were obtained using an online questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The overall fast-food consumption was 44% and 56% of males and females respectively. 17% of A/L students and 27% of university students consumed fast food at a high level. Overweight was detected among 19% of A/L students, 28% of university students, and 3% of employers. Being overweight was determined to be strongly associated with fast-food consumption. Overweight which was detected as 50% among young adults was statistically significant and highly associated with their occupation. Gender was not statistically associated with overweight. However, the study revealed that fast-food consumption among young adults is noticeably associated with overweight.
