Creation of e-magazine learning resource for pastry and bakery products courses focused on low-calorie diets

Abstract

The objectives of this study are to: (1) Develop an E-magazine learning medium on pastry and bakery products for a low-calorie diet for students, and (2) Determine the feasibility of the E-magazine learning medium on pastry and bakery products for a low-calorie diet. This study is a type of Research and Development (R&D) research using the 4D model, which consists of four stages: 1) Define: conducting front-end analysis, curriculum analysis, learning outcome analysis and learning objective mapping, and learner analysis, 2) Design: selecting media and format, creating a flowchart and storyboard, and then developing the e-magazine, 3) Develop: conducting validation with material experts, media experts, and feasibility testing by students, 4) Disseminate: distributing the media through a flipbook platform. The results of this study indicate that: (1) The product developed is the E-Magazine Learning Medium for Low-Calorie Diet Pastry and Bakery. The E-Magazine can be accessed on the flipbook platform, 2) Based on research data obtained from material experts, the score was 3.38 in the "Very Feasible" category, from media experts, the score was 3.8 in the "Very Feasible" category, and from students, the score was 3.45 in the "Very Feasible" category. This indicates that the development of the E-Magazine Learning Medium for Low-Calorie Diet Pastry and Bakery is deemed feasible for use as a learning medium in Vocational High Schools for Culinary Arts. This initiative not only provided an innovative learning tool but also addressed obesity-related issues by integrating modern technology to engage Generation Z students effectively. Future research is recommended to further explore its impact on practical learning outcomes and continuously improve educational media.
