Effectiveness of Edpuzzle-Based Learning Videos in Oriental Food Preparation

Introduction

Effectiveness of edpuzzle-based learning videos in oriental food preparation. Enhance oriental food preparation skills using Edpuzzle-based learning videos. Study confirms effectiveness in improving psychomotor skills, addressing low achievement & observation issues. Practical for culinary students.

Abstract

The low achievement of practical learning in food preparation, particularly in the topic of oriental food management, has been a concern. Previously, oriental food preparation was taught through live demonstrations, as there were no learning videos aligned with the learning achievement standards (CP) and learning objectives (ATP). Additionally, students who were positioned at the back of the class often had difficulty clearly observing the teacher's demonstration. Thus, there is a need for a solution in the form of developing an interactive learning video media based on the Edpuzzle application. This study aims to test the effectiveness of Edpuzzle-based learning videos on psychomotor skills in preparing oriental food. The research method used a quantitative approach with a two-group pretest-posttest design. The instruments used included pre- and post-test assessments as well as an evaluation sheet. Data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, T-tests, n-gain tests, and user feedback questionnaires. The results showed that the use of video led to a significant improvement in students' skills, with a moderate effectiveness category based on the N-gain test results. Additionally, user feedback indicated that the video was practical and suitable for use in learning. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the developed learning video is effective as a media tool for teaching oriental food preparation, as evidenced by the improvement in pretest and posttest scores, categorized as moderate. This research is beneficial as a learning medium for culinary students, particularly in the area of oriental food preparation, and can enhance student learning outcomes.

Review

This paper presents a timely investigation into the effectiveness of Edpuzzle-based learning videos as a solution to enhance psychomotor skills in oriental food preparation, addressing a clearly articulated problem of low practical learning achievement and difficulties with traditional live demonstrations. The authors effectively highlight the gap in suitable digital learning resources and propose an interactive video medium. Using a quantitative approach with a two-group pretest-posttest design, the study demonstrates a significant improvement in students' skills, supported by moderate effectiveness according to N-gain test results and positive user feedback on the video's practicality. While the findings are encouraging, the abstract could benefit from greater clarity regarding specific methodological details. The nature of the "two-group pretest-posttest design" should be explicitly defined: was one group an experimental group using the Edpuzzle videos and the other a control group receiving traditional instruction or no intervention? A clear description of the control condition is crucial for interpreting the "effectiveness" claim relative to existing teaching methods. Additionally, more specificity about the psychomotor skill assessment instruments, beyond "pre- and post-test assessments," would enhance the study's transparency and allow for a better understanding of how the improvements were measured. Given the "moderate effectiveness," future research or a discussion within the paper could explore factors that might elevate the impact. Overall, this research offers a valuable contribution to the field of culinary education by demonstrating the potential of interactive digital media to overcome common practical learning challenges. The findings suggest that Edpuzzle-based learning videos are a practical and effective tool for improving psychomotor skills in oriental food preparation, benefiting culinary students. With minor elaborations on the experimental setup and assessment details to strengthen the methodological rigor, this paper provides a solid foundation for further exploration into optimizing digital learning resources for hands-on subjects and is recommended for publication.
