Android-based comics are a series of sequential picture stories that convey information that can be accessed using an Android. Comics are a medium that can be used to increase nutrition knowledge and attitudes in elementary school children. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using android-based comics as a media for nutrition education on the mastery of knowledge and attitudes about vegetables and fruit in elementary school-age children grades 4 and 5 in Tlogo Village, Blitar Regency. The type of research was quasi-experimental, with a two group pretest posttest design where there were 2 groups, namely the experimental group using android-based comic media and the control group using leaflet media. The subjects of the study were 64 elementary school-aged children in grades 4 and 5, 32 children were taken as samples from the experimental group and 32 children from the control group. The independent variable in this study is the use of android-based comic media, while the dependent variable is knowledge as measured using a test, and attitudes about vegetables and fruit as measured using a questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the t test with a significant level of p ≤ 0.05. The results showed that nutrition education using android-based comic media had an effect on mastery of knowledge (p = 0.003) but had no effect on attitudes (p = 0.263) in elementary school-age children in Tlogo Village, Blitar Regency.
