랜덤포레스트를 활용한 초⋅중학생 독서실행 영향 요인 탐색

Objectives The purposes of this study factors affecting elementary and middle school students’ reading practice were explored using the random forest technique. Methods For this purpose, data from the 13th year (sixth grade of elementary school) and the 14th year (first year of middle school) of the Korean Children's Panel were used. Using reading practice as a response variable and 111 explanatory variables from household, parent, child, and school/private education surveys, factors affecting their reading practice were explored based on the importance index, and a partial dependence plot (PDP) was used. We used this to understand the relationship of influence. Results As a result of examining the top 10 Mean Decrease Accuracy (MDA) predicting reading performance, in the case of 6th grade elementary school students, the results were achievement pressure, learning activities, teacher relationship, strict rules and directive atmosphere, overall happiness, academic stress, peer relationships, and school rules. , physical self-image, and self-esteem appeared in that order. In the case of first-year middle school students, the order was learning activities, achievement pressure, school rules, peer relationships, overall happiness, academic stress, strict rules and directive atmosphere, teacher relationship, physical self-image, and teacher support. Conclusions Factors that affect elementary and middle school students' reading practice are generally more influenced by the school environment than their parents, and the fact that parents' achievement pressure, school adaptation, and strict rules and directive atmosphere are predicted to affect reading practice. It can be seen that coercion has an effect to some extent. As for other variables, there was a difference in what was predicted by ‘self-esteem’ in the 6th grade of elementary school and ‘teacher’s support’ in the 1st grade of middle school.

Computational Thinking with a Multi-literacy Model Using Interactive PowerPoint Media: An Experiment in Elementary Schools

Elementary school students need to acquire computational thinking as a crucial skill in the digital age. Similar to mathematical skills, computational thinking is a fundamental competence in digital literacy. It is used to solve problems in learning. One approach is to facilitate children’s learning by emphasizing computational thinking, such as using the multi-literacy model with interactive PowerPoint slides. This study aimed to assess and characterize the influence of multi-literacy models aided by interactive PowerPoint media on the development of computational thinking skills in elementary school students, considering their prior knowledge. Involving a total sample of 56 4th-grade elementary school students, this quantitative study employed a 3 x 2 factorial design. The sample included 14 students in the high group, 28 in the medium group, and 14 in the high group. The research revealed that the implementation of a multi-literacy learning approach, assisted by interactive PowerPoint media, significantly enhances student’s acquisition and improvement of computational thinking skills. This is because children can develop computational thinking skills in an enjoyable environment using PowerPoint media. Another study revealed that students in the high group performed much better on average when it came to learning computational thinking skills. Meanwhile, the average gain of computational thinking skills in the medium group was only slightly different from that of the low group.

초등학교 시기 아동의 독서량과 초등학교 6학년 때의 학습태도 간의 관계에서 자아존중감의 매개효과

Objectives This paper examines longitudinal changes in the amount of reading of elementary students and the relationship between the longitudinal changes and learning attitudes of 6th-grade elementary students. Moreover, it analyses the mediating effect of self-esteem in the relationship between the variables.
 Methods The data is from the 9th year of 2016 to the 13th year of 2020 provided by the Panel Study on Korean Children(PSKC). A total of 972 students were studied, excluding cases in which children did not respond to the total amount of reading per week reading from the 9th to the 13th year in PSKC. It investigates whether the total amount of reading per week from the 2nd to 6th grade of elementary school changed linearly through the Latent Growth Model and the Unconditional Latent Growth Model. Then it conducts the Structural Equation Model to confirm the relationship between the amount of weekly reading from the 2nd to 6th grade and the learning attitude of the 6th grade, and whether self-esteem of the 6th grade mediates the relationship between the variables.
 Results First of all, the total amount of reading per week for an elementary student from the 2nd to the 6th grade gradually decreased as his/her age increased. Secondarily, the initial total amount of reading per week and the changes from 2nd-grade to 6th-grade elementary school of total amount of reading per week directly affected the 6th-grade students’ learning attitude. In addition, self-esteem in the 6th grade of elementary school indirectly mediates on the relationship between the total amount of reading per week and learning attitude.
 Conclusions As a result, the research reveals that reading can have a positive effect on the learning attitude of elementary students. Whether students read many books at an early age in elementary school, students’ learning attitudes get more positive although the amount of reading decreases as they get older. Furthermore, it discloses school-aged children’s self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between children’s reading and learning attitudes.

The Effectiveness of Repeated Reading and Supported Cloze Procedure to Improve Beginning Reading Skills in Elementary School Slow Learner Students

Literacy plays a very important role in the academic performance and overall development of elementary school students. However, many elementary school age children experience problems in reading, including fluency, accuracy and reading comprehension. This affects the learning process and causes poor academic results. The initial reading ability of 4th grade elementary school slow learner students at MI Salafiyah Mahbubiyah still has not received special treatment to improve their reading ability. Improving initial reading skills in slow learner students must be done in the right way, one of which is repeated reading and supported cloze procedures. To overcome this problem, the intervention was carried out using the repeated reading method and supported cloze procedure. The aim of this research is to see the effectiveness of repeated reading and supported cloze procedures to improve the beginning reading abilities of slow learner students in grade 4 of elementary school. This intervention aims to improve early reading skills in elementary school children who experience slow learning. This research uses a single case experimental design, where the subjects are 4th grade elementary school students. The development of the subject's reading ability was measured using Gickling and Armstrong's checklist, namely Reading Proficiency and Error Checklists. The results of the research show that there is a difference after being given the repeated reading and supported cloze procedure technique and before being given the repeated reading and supported cloze procedure on the subject. This means that (Ha) is accepted and (Ho) is rejected. So, it can be concluded that the repeated reading and supported cloze procedure is effective in improving the initial reading skills of slow learner students in grade 4 of elementary school.

잠재전이분석을 활용한 코로나19 팬데믹 전후 초등학생의 학교적응 전이 양상과 영향 요인 검증

Objectives This study examined how the latent group of elementary school students' school adaptation is classified before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, what variables affect the classification and transition of the potential latent group.
 Methods Latent Transition Analysis based on three-step approach was conducted to analysis changes of 1,203 students between 12th and 13th of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey.
 Results First, before the COVID-19 pandemic period, the potential latent group for school adaptation in the 5th grade of elementary school was divided into two groups: ‘average adaptation’ and ‘high adaptation’. The potential latent group for school adaptation in the 6th grade of elementary school was divided into three groups: ‘average adaptation’, ‘low adaptation’, and ‘high adaptation’ after the COVID-19 pandemic period. Second, students who were in 5th grade in ‘average adaptation’ group has 76.4% probability of being transferred to the potential latent group in ‘average adaptation’ in 6th grade. Students who were in 5th grade in ‘high adaptation’ group also has 61.3% probability of being transferred to the potential latent group in ‘high adaptation’ in 6th grade. Third, creative environmental environment, parental attachment, and self-resilience have influence on classification of the potential latent group for school adaptation in the 5th grade of elementary school before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, after the COVID-19 pandemic, only creative environmental environment and self-esteem had influence on the classification of the potential latent group. Fourth, media device addiction presented influence on the transition from before the after COVID-19 pandemic period.
 Conclusions School environment, parental attachment, self-resilience, and self-esteem are important in school adaptation for elementary school students in between COVID-19 pandemic and media device addiction may lower school adaptation during pandemic.

Differentiating Reading and Writing Instruction Across Content Areas With 1:1 iPads in an Elementary School

In this study, researchers investigated how elementary education teachers used iPads across the curriculum for reading and writing instruction. This study builds on a larger mixed methods case study that examined the implementation of a 1:1 iPad initiative in a suburban, co-educational, independent, Pre-K to 4th grade elementary school in the United States. Researchers found that the elementary education teachers frequently used iPads for reading and writing instruction independently of and also across content areas; in particular, teachers utilized the iPads to differentiate instruction and to expand and broaden the definition of “literacy” across the curriculum. Students also seamlessly used iPad apps and other more traditional tools for the purposes of reading, writing, and self-expression, often choosing to create a “mashup” consisting of integration of print/markers and digital tools to convey their ideas.
