Nutrition is essential for schoolchildren to reach their full potential psychologically and cognitively. Malnutrition, which is prevalent among aboriginal schoolchildren in Malaysia, can interfere their learning and academic performance. Developing a module to be used during a school-based nutritional intervention program is essential to ensuring that students develop healthy eating habits and lifestyles. Thus, this study aims to develop and validate nutrition education module focusing on aboriginal schoolchildren for the eat right future bright (ERFB) nutrition education program.
This cross-sectional study was conducted in three steps: Step 1: development of module based on literature reviews, Step 2: content and face validation of the module by the expert panels, and Step 3: face validation of the module by target users. This study has used the validation form proposed by de Castro. This form consists of seven aspects, two aspects related to content validity and another four aspects related to face validity. A content validity index (CVI) was used to analyze the content validity. Two formulas were used to calculate CVI, which were I-CVI and S-CVI. Meanwhile, the data for module's face used the level of agreement.
Both I-CVI and S-CVI obtained more than 0.78 and 0.80, respectively, which indicate that the module has good content validity. Moreover, for face validity, the total of agreement from expert panels and target users was more than 75%, which is considered face validated.
In conclusion, the module that has been developed has good content validity and can be used by teachers in teaching appropriate nutrition knowledge to aboriginal primary schoolchildren.
营养对于学童充分发挥心理和认知潜力至关重要。营养不良在马来西亚原住民学童中普遍存在，会干扰他们的学习和学业表现。开发一个在校营养干预项目中使用的模块对于确保学生养成健康的饮食习惯和生活方式至关重要。因此，本研究旨在为“正确饮食，未来光明”（ERFB）营养教育项目开发并验证一个针对原住民学童的营养教育模块。
本横断面研究分三个步骤进行：步骤1：基于文献综述开发模块；步骤2：由专家小组对模块进行内容和表面效度验证；步骤3：由目标用户对模块进行表面效度验证。本研究使用了德卡斯特罗提出的验证表。该表包括七个方面，两个方面与内容效度相关，另外四个方面与表面效度相关。使用内容效度指数（CVI）分析内容效度。使用两个公式计算CVI，即I-CVI和S-CVI。同时，模块表面数据使用一致程度。
I-CVI和S-CVI分别获得了超过0.78和0.80的结果，这表明该模块具有良好的内容效度。此外，对于表面效度，专家小组和目标用户的总一致率超过75%，即被认为表面效度得到验证。
总之，所开发的模块具有良好的内容效度，可供教师用于向原住民小学生传授适当的营养知识。
