Problem Based Learning Teaching Approached in Nutrition Counselling Topic of Nutrition Education Subject by e-learn Computer Assisted Instruction of Undergraduate Nutrition Students at Publich Health Faculty of Andalas University

Abstract

Nutrition Conselling is one of topic of Nutrition Education Subject in third semester undergraduate nutrition students at Faculty of Public Health Univerisity of Andalas. During the learning process, teacher adopted Problem Based Learning approached by e-learn method in teaching and should use interactive mulimedia for student, not only hear, see and memorize concepts that are abstact. Student are expected to do is not just to remember the fact sothat students have no trouble during the learning process. Teachers are expected to be able to use interactive multimedia to make students active to ask, motivated in learning by utilizing a computer. The use of the computer as a medium of learning known as learning with Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI). The application of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) in teaching process use e-learn is one of the innovation of the learning media display images that are packed in the form of a brief narrative about the animation and the learning is being done, so that it can attract the interest of students. This study aims to adopt the e-learn method as IT-based learning model use problem based learning approached for teachers in teaching and give fun space for student without being limited by space and time. As of 66 students participates in clasroom action research topic Nutrition Counselling on the subject of Education Nutrition. Problem Based Learning (PBL) approached was developed to provide opportunities for student to teacher to determine problems in the topic of adaptation and evolution. Aplication of the learning approached of Problem Based Learning in Undergarduate Nutrition Students can (1) enhance student activities (2) increase student activity from the first cycle to the second cycle and the second cyscle to third cycle (3) the respons of students to Problem Based Learning approached are very positive in that students become more active in the discussion. The results showed that there is an increase in the activity of students actively involved in all learning process from all cycles. The increase in the number of student who are actively in involved in each cycle is of 60% (40 students/66 students) in the first cycle, 78% (52 students/66 students) in the second cycle and third and four cycle almost 90% involve. It can be conclude that Problem Based Learning approached by e-learn method in teaching usefull as interactive mulimedia for student, not only hear, see and memorize concepts that are abstact but come to reality.

A Systematic Literature Review on Advances in Computer Assisted Instruction

“…Also, Simarmata, et al (2018) reported that use of CAI for tutorials improves students' interest in learning computer networks fundamentals. An evaluation of e-learning by computer-based problem solving for nutrition education students by Symond, et al (2021) discovered that CAI is a useful method. A case study to assess students' ability by Suratno and Tonra (2018) discovered that CAI encourages students to be responsible for their learning.…”
