Abstract
There is a trend in Indonesian people to shift their food
pattern from traditional into high fat and low fiber fast food.
Low level of knowledge about nutrition and balanced food,
unhealthy dietary pattern, and sedentary activity were
assumed as the main contributing factors for the increment of
overweight and obesity in Indonesia. Childhood and
adolescence are critical periods for health and development as
the physiological need for nutrients increases and the
consumption of a diet of high nutritional quality is
particularly important. Eating habits, lifestyle and behavior
patterns are established during this period that may persist
throughout adulthood. Patterns of eating have a significant
influence on health and well-being. This review will deal with
the calories needs of children between the ages of 7 – 8 years
with simulation game as a learning media.
For the purpose of this evaluation a new, more complete,
paper-based questionnaire was constructed. The particular
questionnaire, which elicited both qualitative and quantitative
data. The questions corresponded to the following eight
dimensions: perceived usefulness, ease of use, ease of
learning, satisfaction screen, terminology and system
information, system capabilities, and overall reaction to the
software. The results indicated that the students’ opinion
about the game was positive, and suggest that with some
extensions the game could be used as an effective learning
tool. Finally, some corresponding conclusions and future
improvements to the game are being discussed on the basis of
the findings.
