BACKGROUND: Critical nutrition literacy (CNL) plays an important role in how college students make everyday decisions about nutrition choices. Increasing CNL is an aim of many introductory nutrition courses, but there are limited instruments measuring this construct. This study aimed to assess the changeability of CNL and the relationship between CNL and markers of diet quality in young adults. DESIGN: This was a two-phase research project consisting of a nonexperimental, pre–post study and a cross-sectional assessment from 2018 to 2019. Participants were U.S. college students, 18-24 years old, recruited from introductory-level courses from three participating universities, located in Rhode Island, West Virginia, and New Jersey. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Interventions consisted of (1) a 4-credit, 13-week nutrition course and (2) a cross-sectional, online behavior, environment, and perception survey. CNL was measured using the Revised CNL Tool (CNLT-R) instrument across both phases. Measures for phases include: (1) the changeability of CNL and (2) the relationship between CNL and markers of diet quality. ANALYSIS: Paired t -tests and multivariate analysis of variance were utilized through SPSS version 25.0. RESULTS: CNL score significantly increased from baseline to postintervention from 3.38 ± 0.48 to 3.61 ± 0.55 ( P = 0.014). There was an overall significant effect of CNL on markers of diet quality, such as cups of fruits and vegetables (F/V) and teaspoons of added sugar (F [2,1321] = 3.12, P < 0.05; Wilks' Λ = 0.99). CONCLUSIONS: This research found that an introduction to nutrition course was associated with an increase in CNL and that CNL is related to diet quality. The instrument could be used by nutrition educators as an outcome assessment. Future research should investigate other components of the CNL construct as well as predictive validity.

“…The findings of previous research stated that digital teaching materials packed with interest would facilitate students in understanding learning materials (Liu et al, 2021;Neppala et al, 2018). Other research findings also state that digital teaching can improve student learning outcomes (Astalini et al, 2019;Lee & Osman, 2012;McNamara et al, 2020). Other research also states that digital teaching materials can increase student motivation in learning (Handayani et al, 2021;Irwansyah et al, 2017).…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused the learning process to shift from face-to-face to virtual. This research aimed to produce android-based local wisdom digital teaching materials for grade V of valid and practical elementary schools. This research was a research development (R&D) with ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The subject of this research was android-based digital teaching materials with local wisdom. In contrast, the research object was the validity and practicality of android-based digital teaching materials with local wisdom. The data in this study were classified into two qualitative and quantitative data. Data collection techniques were using questionnaire techniques. The questionnaires are used to measure the validity and practicality of digital teaching materials. The validity was tested by two experts, namely material experts and media experts. The practicality of digital teaching materials was assessed by five teachers and ten grade V elementary school students in the Letda Kajeng Cluster. The data collected was then analyzed descriptively quantitatively. The results of this study indicate that (1) the validity of android-based digital teaching materials with local wisdom obtained an average of 3,64 or is in the interval of 3,50 ≤ Rv ≤ 4,00 with the criteria "very valid"; (2) the practicality of digital teaching materials with local wisdom based on the teacher's and student assessment obtained an average of 3,67 which is in the interval of 3,50 ≤ Rk ≤ 4,00 with the category "very practical". Based on the study results, it was concluded that this development research produced Android-based digital teaching materials with local wisdom on Panas dan Perpindahannya topics for grade V elementary school, which were very valid and very practical.

“…Second, misconceptions in understanding chemical bonding materials. Misconceptions can occur when students have such strong misinterpretations that even after learning the right ideas in the classroom, they are resistant to adjusting their previous thinking (Lukitasari et al, 2019;McNamara et al, Greene, 2020). In implementing distance learning, the discussion process did not run optimally for all students.…”

The spread of the Covid-19 virus requires the government to take a policy of organizing education online. Learning chemical bonding material is strived to be developed according to the needs of students and learning objectives that are reflected in the curriculum. This study aims to develop advance organizer-based distance learning on chemical bonding material and measure the effectiveness of this product. This study uses the Dick and Carey development model approach. The instruments used included assessment questionnaires, observations, interviews, validation sheets and tests of students' cognitive knowledge. The data obtained were analysed using quantitative descriptive statistics and data on the effectiveness of learning using an n-gain score. The results of this study obtained online learning products with an average validation score of 3.51 on a scale of 4.00 and the student gain value before and after using advance organizer-based online learning was 0.52. The conclusion of this research is that advance organizer-based online learning products on chemical bonding material are very feasible and effective. These findings will be an input for efforts to develop chemical bonding materials and research the development of chemistry learning during a pandemic.
