Development of Nutritional Education Media for Fruit and Vegetable Snakes Based on Adobe Flash Cs6 for Primary School Children

Abstract

Lack of nutrition education media related to the benefits of fruits and vegetables for elementary school children causes knowledge related to fruits and vegetables to remain lacking. One of the efforts that can be undertaken to overcome this issue is to create innovative and engaging nutrition education media. This study aims to develop an educational media called "Snake Ladder Nutrition" based on Adobe Flash CS6 to increase nutritional knowledge about fruits and vegetables among elementary school children, and to determine the feasibility of this media for use in nutrition education. This research is a type of Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), conducted at SDN 104196 Tandam Hulu II. The sample in this study consisted of a material and media validity sample, which included lecturers and teachers totaling 3 people, a small group trial sample consisting of 5 students, and a large group trial sample consisting of 28 students. The results of the validity test conducted by media experts showed a score of 93, with a feasibility percentage of 93%, categorized as very feasible. The results of the material validity tests conducted by two material experts showed feasibility percentages of 94% and 96%, respectively, both falling into the very feasible category. Furthermore, the results of the feasibility test conducted on students showed a feasibility percentage of 90.22%, also categorized as feasible. Therefore, it can be concluded that the "Snake Ladder Nutrition" media based on Adobe Flash CS6 is very appropriate to be used as an educational tool to enhance knowledge about fruits and vegetables among elementary school children.
