The Analysis of English Teacher Talk Modification in Classroom Interaction of 2nd Grade Students at MTsN 6 Kubang Putiah

This research was due to some problems that were found in MTsN 6 Kubang Putih. First, teacher gave less pauses during her talk in the classroom. Teacher talk should be give more pauses for students’ comprehension. Second, the teacher did not do self-repeat frequently. She only does it sometimes. Self-repeat in teacher talk also need to be done frequently. Self-repeat is when the teacher repeat her sentence or word for the students to get a better understanding. This research was descriptive qualitative. , the subject of the research is the teacher and students of English class of the second grade in MTsN 6 Kubang Putih in academic year 2021. There is six class and one class consist of 30 students. The researcher focused on teacher’s talk in the classroom interaction in English class. The researcher used purposive sampling to choose the student to be interviewed or participant. The data of the present study are collected through observation in the classroom and conducting interview. The researcher found that the modifications seen in teacher talk in language classrooms, including a slower rate of speech, longer and more frequent pauses, exaggerated and simplified pronunciation, more basic vocabulary, less subordination, more declaratives and statements versus questions, and more self-repetition, were all present. This supports the findings from Chaudron and Dodu's study of modification of teacher talk in language classrooms. The findings of this research highlighted the importance of teacher modifications in language teaching. It is essential for teachers to vary their speech rate, use pauses, and stress particular words in order to emphasize the messages they are trying to communicate within the classroom. Self-repeat can aid learners in understanding the instructional content better. Additionally, teachers should incorporate simple vocabulary within their discussions, and use more declarative senteces. Modifying the teacher talk is an effective strategy in helping learners better comprehend the material being presented.

Prevalence and Influencing Factors of Body-focused Repetitive Behaviors in Turkish Medical Students

Background/Aims: Body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as skin-picking, trichotillomania, nail-picking, nail-biting, lip-biting and skin-biting have adverse physical and psychological effects. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of BFRBs in a sample of Turkish medical students. Methods: An online survey was used to investigate the prevalence of six BFRBs —skin-picking, trichotillomania, nail-biting, nail-picking, lip-biting and skin-biting-- and psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, stress levels, impulsivity and difficulties in emotional regulation (DER) in a sample of 200 medical students. Skin Picking Scale-Revised (SPS-R), Massachusetts General Hospital Hairpulling Scale (MGH-HPS), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), Barratt Impulsiveness Scale–Short Form and Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale—Brief Form and specific questions for four BFRBs (nail-picking, nail-biting, lip biting and skin biting) were administered. Results: The prevalence of at least one BFRB disorder was 28.0% (n=56). The most common diagnoses were skin-picking (17.0%) and trichotillomania (10.5%), followed by skin-picking (9.0%), lip biting (8.5%), nail-picking (7%) and nail-biting (5.0%). The gender difference was found only in skin-picking disorders (females=22.9%; males=8.5%). Students with BFRB disorder (n=56) were found to have higher levels of anxiety, depression, stress, impulsivity and DER. Students in 2nd, 3rd and 5th grade are more likely to have BFRB disorders than interns. DER was a partial mediating variable between impulsivity and the presence of BFRB disorder. Conclusions: The findings of the study suggest that BFRBs are common among medical students and that these behaviors are associated with psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, stress levels, impulsivity and difficulties in emotion regulation. Screening programs and intervention strategies for BFRBs in medical students should be developed, and it is recommended that psychological factors should be considered in these interventions, emotion regulation and stress management skills should be significantly improved, and comorbid depression and anxiety should be treated.

Enhancing Reading Literacy in Thai Grade 2 Students through Active Learning Activities

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of employing a comprehensive active learning management plan in enhancing reading literacy among 2nd-Grade students in Thailand. The participants were 24 English as a foreign language (EFL) students in Thailand, selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included a learning management plan featuring a mix of active learning activities, including game-based learning, interactive storytime, story swap, and comprehension puzzles, and a pre–post reading literacy test. Data were analyzed using percentages, mean score, standard deviation, learning management effectiveness (E1: E2), the Effectiveness Index (E.I.), and a paired samples t test. The results show that active learning is effective, with students’ post-test scores being significantly higher than their pre-test scores. This study contributes to the existing body of evidence supporting active learning in primary school language classrooms. It highlights the benefits of incorporating a variety of active learning activities, rather than relying on a single approach, to enhance reading literacy.

The Influence of Parenting Democratic Parenting and Self-Efficacy on Interest in Learning Through Emotional Intelligence in 2nd Grade Students of Eskola Secundaria Geral "99" Atauro Timor Leste

This study aims to explore the impact of democratic parenting styles and self-efficacy on students' learning interest through emotional intelligence as a mediating variable at Eskola Secundaria Geral "99" Atauro, Timor Leste. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach, involving all second-grade students as the sample using total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring democratic parenting styles, self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and learning interest. Data analysis was performed using path analysis with JASP version 19.0, including validity, reliability, and normality tests to ensure data quality. The findings indicate that democratic parenting styles have a positive and significant effect on students' emotional intelligence. Self-efficacy also has a positive and significant effect on emotional intelligence. Furthermore, both democratic parenting styles and self-efficacy directly influence students' learning interest, while emotional intelligence positively and significantly affects learning interest. However, emotional intelligence does not serve as a significant mediating variable in the relationship between democratic parenting styles and learning interest, nor does it mediate the relationship between self-efficacy and learning interest. These findings suggest that democratic parenting styles and self-efficacy have a direct impact on students' learning interest, while emotional intelligence plays a role in enhancing learning interest without acting as a mediator.

Designed activities on developing mental strategies using alms value-based learning trajectory in elementary school

Mental strategies are recognized as an effective approach for solving arithmetic operations such as addition and subtraction.

Longitudinal investigation of early mathematical achievement and classroom strategic diversity: A replication and extension study

Developing solution strategies, effortful procedures that students employ to solve a specific problem, is an important mathematical goal. Studies have documented intraindividual strategy variability and its significance for learning, but only some have addressed the interindividual strategic diversity across students within a classroom. This study analyzed classroom strategy diversity using assessments of 527 kindergartens to 2nd-grade students. Latent growth modeling analysis revealed that the best fit was a spline model featuring two phases of linear growth with different growth rates (i.e., one in Kindergarten, the other from Kindergarten spring to second grade). A growth mixture modeling analysis demonstrated that only one latent class existed within the data, which supports the homogeneity of the identified growth trajectory among students. We also analyzed the relations of their learning to the interindividual strategy diversity in their classrooms via a multilevel latent growth model. The results showed that early encouragement of student-generated strategies and later guidance toward research-based effective strategies most supported mathematical growth. This finding aligned with the previous work regarding classroom strategic diversity. Educational relevance and implications statementDeveloping solution strategies is an important mathematical goal. Do children benefit from being in classrooms using diverse strategies or a smaller range of efficient strategies? Does this depend on children's phase of learning? We found that early encouragement of student-generated strategies followed by later guidance toward research-based effective strategies most supported mathematical growth.

Learning how to write using all our languages: a multilingual approach to literacy in primary education

ABSTRACT This intervention study examined the writing abilities of 1st (ages 6–7) and 2nd (ages 7–8) grade students in the Basque Autonomous Community, utilising Basque, Spanish, and English. We compared two distinct teaching methodologies: the PYCTO methodology, which employs a multilingual approach for teaching writing across the three languages, and the traditional monolingual approach, focusing on one language only. 873 compositions written in these languages were analysed using quantitative methods. Lexical richness was evaluated using analytic measures, while holistic measures assessed overall writing competence in four dimensions. The results indicated that students taught using the PYCTO methodology significantly outperformed those taught with the traditional monolingual approach in both 1st and 2nd grades. This finding underscores the effectiveness of multilingual teaching methods over the conventional monolingual approach, suggesting that integrating various known languages in teaching offers substantial benefits in language learning.
