The purpose of this study is to improve the nutritional status of toddlers whose status is still at the threshold below the red line (BGM - Bawah Garis Merah) and malnutrition that mostly caused by parenting practices that do not meet health standards. Child feeding, food menu presentation, and environmental hygiene were among several factors that cause the occurrence of BGM and malnutrition in toddlers in Bulak Banteng village of Kenjeran District, Surabaya City. In this program, the researchers used the Participatory Action Research (PAR) social research method that consists of three interconnected words (participation, research and action). In the process, researchers come with nutritionists, Posyandu cadres, and toddlers’ mothers who are affected by malnutrition. The first program creates study groups to make it easier to organize and research together, called Toddler School "Anak Aktif Ceria". The results obtained indicate that there is an increase in knowledge of toddlers’ mothers and as expectedly an increase in body weight as concrete evidence that parents are implementing the knowledge gained through the toddler school. Keywords: malnutrition, parenting, toddlers’ mother, toddlers’ nutrition, toddler school   Abstrak Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan status gizi balita yang statusnya masih di ambang batas di bawah garis merah (BGM - Bawah Garis Merah) dan gizi buruk yang sebagian besar disebabkan oleh praktik pengasuhan yang tidak memenuhi standar kesehatan. Pemberian makanan anak, penyajian menu makanan, dan kebersihan lingkungan adalah beberapa faktor yang menyebabkan terjadinya BGM dan gizi buruk pada balita di desa Bulak Banteng, Kecamatan Kenjeran, Kota Surabaya. Dalam program ini, para peneliti menggunakan metode penelitian sosial Participatory Action Research (PAR) yang terdiri dari tiga kata yang saling berhubungan (partisipasi, penelitian dan tindakan). Dalam prosesnya, peneliti datang dengan ahli gizi, kader Posyandu, dan ibu balita yang terkena gizi buruk. Program pertama menciptakan kelompok belajar untuk membuatnya lebih mudah untuk mengatur dan meneliti bersama, yang disebut Sekolah Balita "Anak Aktif Ceria". Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa ada peningkatan pengetahuan ibu balita dan seperti yang diharapkan peningkatan berat badan sebagai bukti nyata bahwa orang tua menerapkan pengetahuan yang diperoleh melalui sekolah balita.

En la segunda mitad del siglo XX, en América, surgió un método en las ciencias sociales conocido como investigación acción participativa, el cual busca desdibujar la barrera entre el investigador y el objeto de estudio para que la comunidad que tiene un problema sea beneficiada, no a través de la publicación de un texto científico, sino mediante la solución efectiva del problema a través de acciones y estrategias colectivas en las que participan especialistas y habitantes de esa población.De manera paralela, en Alemania, Joseph Beuys desarrolló el concepto de escultura social que argumentaba que toda persona debía convertirse en creador, en un escultor o arquitecto del organismo social. Gracias a la influencia de Beuys varios artistas y colectivos han elaborado proyectos de interacción social en zonas de la periferia, en donde los creadores detectan un problema y elaboran una pieza que implica la participación de los habitantes de una comunidad o vecindario en desventaja. Estas obras tienden a transformar el entorno y la sociedad.Ambos enfoques buscan empoderar a los individuos que no tienen los beneficios del resto de la sociedad. Sin embargo, es necesario distinguir las afinidades y las diferencias entre ellos, así como las relaciones que generan los gestos simbólicos y los cambios efectivos. También es importante analizar las oportunidades y los riesgos que presentan ambos modelos.The associations between the participative action research method and social interaction art. Range and risks.A method of social research known as participative action research emerged in the Americas during the second half of the 20th, aiming to erase the barrier between the researcher and his study object hence a community with a problem is improved not through scientific publications but by means of an effective solution of the problem activated by collective strategies used by specialists and locals. At the same time, in Germany, Joseph Beuys developed the social sculpture concept suggesting that everyone should be creator, a sculptor or architect of the social organism. After Beuys’ influence many artists and collectives have elaborated social interaction projects in peripheral areas where the artists detect a problem and make a piece that involves participation of the residents of a disadvantaged community or neighborhood. These works tend to transform the environment and society. Both perspectives empower individuals with no benefits from the rest of society. Nevertheless, it is necessary to differentiate the affinities and differences between them, and the relationships caused by the symbolic gestures and the effective changes. It is important, as well, to analyze the opportunities and the risks presented in both models.
