Results: The results of analysis of the content validity of all items valued V index 0.96 (high category) from design experts and V Index 0.92 (high category from health experts. The experiment group obtained N Gain scored 0.5603 at medium level, and the control group result of N Gain Score was 0.2845 in the low-level category. Using -test, both the experiment and control group showed significant improvement of score test with = 0.000 ( < 0.005). Bivariate analysis using independent -test result = 0.000 ( < 0.005) means significant difference score test compared between experiment and control group.
