Integrasi Gizi Berbasis Ecology Funnel (EcoFun) untuk Optimalisasi 7 Kebiasaan Anak Indonesia Hebat dalam Pembelajaran di Sekolah Dasar Kota Kediri

Abstract

Nutritional problems among elementary school children in Kediri City remain significant, as reflected in the prevalence of obesity (27.5%) and overweight (17.5%) at SD Plus Rahmat, as well as 42.5% obesity and 12.5% overweight at SDN Burengan 2. These conditions, coupled with the limited integration of balanced nutrition content within classroom learning, highlight the need for a systematic strategy to foster healthy eating habits among students. This program aimed to develop an integrated nutrition model based on the Ecology Funnel (EcoFun) approach, strengthen teacher capacity, and produce learning tools and a daily nutrition habit journal for students. The activities were conducted in June–July 2025 through coordination with partner schools, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and a series of socialization and workshop sessions for developing lesson plans. The results indicated the successful formulation of strategies for integrating nutrition education, identification of school needs and challenges, and the establishment of cross-sector collaboration commitments. Furthermore, teacher knowledge significantly improved, as evidenced by the Wilcoxon test (p = 0.002), and draft lesson plans alongside the Daily Healthy Eating Journal for grades 1–6 were developed. Overall, the program generated three key outputs: nutrition integration strategies, improved teacher capacity, and balanced-nutrition-based learning tools. This initiative provides a strong foundation for sustainable nutrition education implementation in elementary schools and has the potential to promote healthy eating habits and improve the nutritional status of children in Kediri City.
