“…[ 19 ] Moreover, infographics are used in education to present complex information clearly and concisely. [ 20 ] Infographics are effective in educational settings because they employ images to highlight, explain, or enhance text-based content. Despite their complexity, they have a unique ability to catch attention, transmit information, and increase data retention.…”

BACKGROUND: Nutrition is essential for schoolchildren to reach their full potential psychologically and cognitively. Malnutrition, which is prevalent among aboriginal schoolchildren in Malaysia, can interfere their learning and academic performance. Developing a module to be used during a school-based nutritional intervention program is essential to ensuring that students develop healthy eating habits and lifestyles. Thus, this study aims to develop and validate nutrition education module focusing on aboriginal schoolchildren for the eat right future bright (ERFB) nutrition education program. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in three steps: Step 1: development of module based on literature reviews, Step 2: content and face validation of the module by the expert panels, and Step 3: face validation of the module by target users. This study has used the validation form proposed by de Castro. This form consists of seven aspects, two aspects related to content validity and another four aspects related to face validity. A content validity index (CVI) was used to analyze the content validity. Two formulas were used to calculate CVI, which were I-CVI and S-CVI. Meanwhile, the data for module's face used the level of agreement. RESULTS: Both I-CVI and S-CVI obtained more than 0.78 and 0.80, respectively, which indicate that the module has good content validity. Moreover, for face validity, the total of agreement from expert panels and target users was more than 75%, which is considered face validated. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the module that has been developed has good content validity and can be used by teachers in teaching appropriate nutrition knowledge to aboriginal primary schoolchildren.

“…The enthusiastic student engagement with alternative teaching modalities aligns with previous studies regarding student perceptions of infographics. Post-secondary education students overwhelmingly prefer infographics to plain text and perceive them to be a more engaging modality that facilitates learning at more rapid pace [ 20 ]. The use of student-created infographics in the medical setting can offer several unique benefits.…”

Integrating social determinants of health principles into the preclinical medical curriculum via student-led pedagogical modalities

Background Dismantling structural inequities in health care requires that physicians understand the impacts of social determinants of health (SDH). Although many medical schools incorporate SDH education, integration of these principles into the preclinical curriculum remains challenging. Methods Students and faculty at the University of Vermont, Larner College of Medicine developed the Social Medicine Theme of the Week (SMTW), a peer-teaching approach to integrating SDH topics across the preclinical curriculum as part of a broader social medicine curriculum. Students created objectives to link SDH-related topics to the weekly curriculum and presented them to the class. Student innovation led to the incorporation of creative online infographics that were published in the curriculum calendar. First year medical students and faculty members were surveyed to assess preferences and educational impact of the SMTW announcements with accompanying infographics. Results Of the 40 student respondents, 77.5% reported that their knowledge of SDH had improved due to the SMTW. Most students (82.5%) preferred the infographic modality over traditional teaching modalities. Faculty respondents reported limited engagement with the SMTW and, although they supported the need for these objectives, many (61%) found it difficult to integrate SDH content into their class materials. Conclusion Student-led infographics are a popular method of integrating SDH content in the preclinical curriculum that can be optimized through faculty orientation and support. Success for this type of instruction requires opportunities for student developers, integration and formal assessment of objectives, faculty engagement and training, and institutional support for creating and delivering a robust social medicine curriculum.

“…Gamification refers to the incorporation of game design elements such as point systems, leaderboards, and rewards into non-gaming contexts (Høiseth et al, 2021). The goal of gamification is to increase motivation, engagement and participation in activities that are not inherently fun or interesting by making them more enjoyable through game-like (Bicen et al, 2022) Lettera web is based mainly on the gamification methodology. Games have long been known in the educational world for their effectiveness in applying goals such as having fun, socializing, and learning, and consequences such as winning and losing according to a specific rule system (Baran et al, 2018).…”

IntroductionThis study explores the potential of technology, metacognition, and game-based learning to improve reading literacy in upper secondary school students. The focus is on the Lëttëra educational innovation, a web-based platform that uses game-based learning and technology to develop reading literacy.MethodsThis is a quantitative, exploratory, descriptive, and quasi-experimental study that reviewed 149 responses from high school students who took the standardized test Planea 2017. The study aimed to analyze whether using the Lëttëra platform brought a change in the students’ reading competence. The authors also examined students’ motivation toward technology, the platform interface, and the game. The data was analyzed both descriptively and inferentially.ResultsThe results showed that using the Lëttëra platform significantly improved students’ competencies in literary text, information construction, and argumentative text. It also increased their motivation toward the proposed activities.DiscussionThis study demonstrates that integrating technology and game-based learning into reading instruction can lead to improved reading competencies and increased motivation among students. These findings are useful for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers who aim to enhance reading instruction by integrating technology into their teaching practices.ConclusionOverall, this study highlights the potential of technology and game-based learning to improve reading literacy in upper secondary school students. The Lëttëra platform provides a promising approach for enhancing reading instruction, and its integration into teaching practices can benefit students, educators, and policymakers alike.
