Abstract

Deficiency of iron intake and folic acid intake can cause a shortage of concentration and student
achievement. The purpose of this study explains the effect of giving fortified rice with folic acid on concentration
and Student learning outcome. This study is an experimental using the Double-Blind Randomized Control
Trial Design. The population is students in the Annihaya boarding school is 603 people. The sample is 80
male students of aged 12-15 years. The sample was divided into four groups, namely groups given fortification
rice (anemia and non-anemia) and groups given non-fortification rice (anemia and non-anemia). The results
showed that the greatest decrease in concentration scores in the intervention group was -2,75, while in the
control group, it decreased by -1,65 and there was no significant difference either in the group or the difference
group with p value> 0,05. The increase in student learning outcomes in the intervention group was 0,11
while the control group had decreased by -0,44. The results show that there were significant differences in the
intervention group before and after the intervention. But statistical tests showed there were no differences in
student learning outcomes scores between the intervention group and the control group (p>0,05). The conclusion
is that the concentration of students decreased in all groups after the intervention and the greatest decrease
occurred in the group given non-anemic fortified rice. Student learning outcomes increased in all groups
after the intervention and the largest increase occurred in the anemic group who were given fortified rice.
