The control group received DHE through lecture method with poster. PETO group received DHE through Wayang PETO show. Both groups were given pre-test and post-test pictured questioners as assessment. Data was analyzed using SPSS 17 for Windows. Result. The result showed a significant difference in pre-test and post-test score among both group and also showed significant difference in cognitive difference mean comparing control group to PETO group.
