Abstract

Background: One of the skills that graduated students of nutrition science program study must possess is a higher thinking skill. These skills are needed when nutritionists overcome the nutritional problem. The study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the case-based method according to improve students’ performance.

Methods: The study was class action research using quantitative study which was applied case-based method in life cycle nutrition course. This method was implemented in two classes through e-learning and online form. The samples were 92 students registered in the life cycle nutrition course. The method’s effectiveness was assessed through a pre-post test, mid-semester mark, observation of students’ performance during the class, and an instrument evaluation method.

Results: The post-test done after case-based method sessions showed an increasing score than pretest scores (p value < 0.05). The student’s mark in the mid-test in the year 2021 for the life cycle nutrition course was also better than the mid-test in the year 2020 after using the case-based method in the learning process. Students looked like more active in participating in the CBM session than the previous learning method. It was supported by students’ perception of the effectiveness of CBM activity in their learning.

Conclusions: The case-based method effectively improved students’ performance, such as students’ marks, active participation, and critical thinking skill in solving problems.
