Integration of Science Education in Physical Activity and Dietary Behavior for Elderly: An Intervention of Digital-Based Learning
Abstract
Unhealthy eating behavior and low physical activity are the main problems for teenagers, especially vocational education students. To develop an effective intervention program, more research is needed to understand how different types of learning contribute to knowledge and their behavior regarding physical activity and eating behavior. In this research, the use of technology in learning in the elderly community contributes to eating patterns and physical activity behavior. This research involved 80 elderly (mean age 17.2 ± 1.2 years) attending an intervention program. A paired sample t-test was used to investigate the effect of technology-based learning media interventions implemented through physical education learning. This research found that there is a significant influence on learning outcomes using animated videos on increasing physical activity and dietary behavior of the elderly.
