Balance Nutrition Literature Teaching Materials in Creative Problem Solving Based Multirepresentation Learning Model

Abstract

Creative problem solving based multirepresentation (CPSBM) learning is one of learning models to solving problems in groups, to training creative thinking skills and critical thinking skills. CPSBM models suitable to use for the complex characteristics and the ever-evolving nutrition and health problems. In order that the CPSBM learning model to be easier to understand, easy to apply, and more meaningful, teaching materials are developed. Teaching materials are arranged according to the four pillars of balanced nutrition. Content validation was carried out by five UNNES Postgraduate lecturers with the Aiken's V test. Construct validity (correlation between components and teaching material variables) and reliability (halved) were tested with pearson correlation. The assessment of the components and variables of teaching materials tested with descriptive percentage. The results of the content validity test showed that all components of teaching materials are valid and feasible to use with Aiken' V values between 0.80-0.90 (above 0.79). Teaching materials are considered valid and reliable, feasible to use and measure the results of the construct validity test with high and very significant correlation value, except for the illustration component with moderate correlation. The reliability of teaching materials obtained high and very significant correlation value. Assessment of all components of teaching materials obtained values above 90% in very good level.

Application of Multirepresentation-Based Creative Problem-Solving Learning Models to Improve Critical and Creative Thinking Skills for Students

“…The activities carried out by lecturers are 1) explain each pillar with videos created with the Zoom app, with various examples of solving problems with the MBCPS model, 2) accompanying and guiding students both working individually and in groups, 3) observing discussion and presentation activities and 4) evaluating the results of solving problems with MBCPS and providing feedback. The support system for the application of the balanced nutrition MBCPS learning model is 1) learning tools in the form of Semester Learning Plans and Student Activity Sheets, and 2) learning media in the form of 5 learning videos, for the first video in the form of a learning model, and containing 4 videos containing 4 pillars of balanced nutrition; 3) MBCPS model balanced nutrition textbook entitled "Literasi Gizi Seim-bang dalam Pembelajaran Sains" with ISBN 978-623-02-3790-4 (Fathonah et al, 2022), 4) Research instruments include creatitive thinking skills and critical thinking skills, and 5) Other learning resources related to balanced nutrition material in the form of e-books, textbooks, and national and international journals. One example of the problem of CPSBM balanced nutrition on food diversity, presented in Appendix 1.…”

“…Answers with multiple representations are multi-representations (Angell, Guttersrud, and Henriksen, 2007). The combination of CPS learning with multi-representation is called the Multirepresentation-Based Creative Problem-solving (MBCPS) learning model (Fathonah et al, 2022). The MBCPS model that has been tested is expected to add to the innovative teaching model in the education sector, especially in the fields of nutrition.…”
