Abstract

This paper presents an explanatory educational video on healthy and balanced nutrition, which is addressed to 2nd and 3rd-grade primary school students and is utilized within the framework of the Environmental Study course. The central learning objective of the film is the understanding of the importance of proper nutrition for human growth and health, the familiarization with the basic food groups, and the adoption of balanced dietary habits by the students. The educational approach is based on the principles of the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning, simultaneously promoting active, experiential, and playful learning, with an emphasis on familiarizing students with digital media. The media style of the film is narrative, friendly, and directly adapted to the age group, featuring simple language, clear narration, and strong visual elements that support the pedagogical message. The production of the video utilizes basic audiovisual creation techniques, such as script and storyboard, the use of a green screen, a combination of image, speech, graphics, and music, as well as subtitles for inclusion purposes. The educational value of the film lies in its ability to act as a stimulus for learning, activation, and the application of knowledge, enhancing students' participation, collaboration, and positive attitude towards healthy eating.
