<![CDATA[Children's nutritional status is very important because it includes balanced physical growth and mental development, while poor nutritional status can hinder the growth and development process of toddlers. This study investigates the effect of participation in the Joint Education Group on the Nutritional Status of Toddlers Aged 6-23 months in Pagerbatu Village, Majasari District, Pandeglang. The study was conducted in 2023 involving 60 pairs of respondents (mothers and toddlers aged 6-23 months) who were malnourished (weight faltering). There is an effect of participation in educational groups on the nutritional status of toddlers, with a p-value = 0.000. However, the mean TB/U decreased by -1.0006±2.02603, and the Wilcoxon test results showed a p-value of 0.135 (p > 0.05), indicating that there was no effect of participation in the education group on nutritional status based on Height by Age. The results of the path analysis and Sobel test showed that all hypothesis tests carried out were not significantly significant (H2 was rejected). It is recommended that mothers implement the knowledge gained from the education group to enhance the growth and development of their toddlers.]]>
