DEVELOPMENT OF ARTICULATE STORYLINE MEDIA FOR ENHANCING LEARNING OUTCOMES IN NATURAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES AMONG ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Technology-based interactive media have yet to reach their full potential in elementary education, resulting in suboptimal learning outcomes in the natural and social sciences. This study aims to outline the development steps for interactive learning media using Articulate Storyline and to assess the quality and effectiveness of this media in teaching fifth-grade students about Earth and the Universe within natural and social science subjects. Employing a research and development approach, this study utilized the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. The participants were fifth-grade students from the Muhammadiyah Elementary School of Karangbendo, Yogyakarta, with 28 students. Instruments used in this research are questionnaires and tests. The questionnaire was used to get data from the experts, whereas a test was used to get the data on learning outcomes. The findings suggest that the Articulate Storyline interactive learning media is suitable and effective, as evidenced by an average 'Highly Suitable' rating of 87% from experts in content knowledge, media, language, and teaching and learning in primary education and a 'Very Good' response rating of 98% from teachers and students. A significant improvement in learning outcomes was observed, with an average n-gain score of 0.73, indicating a high level of effectiveness. This media is recommended as an alternative for educational activities in schools, particularly for introducing topics related to Earth and the universe.

Health literacy and its determinants among school-going children: a school-based cross-sectional study in Nepal.

Limited health literacy is linked to unhealthy behaviors, adverse health outcomes, poor quality of life and financial burdens on society. However, little is known about the level of health literacy, especially among school-going children. This cross-sectional study assesses health literacy levels and their determinants in 354 school children from Kathmandu Metropolitan City, utilizing a multi-stage cluster sampling method. The 10-item Health Literacy for School-Aged Children was used to measure the student's literacy levels. Bivariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression at the significance level of 0.05 were performed to determine factors associated with limited health literacy. The majority of participants (76.6%) had moderate health literacy, while 13.8% had a high level and 9.6% had a low level of health literacy. Students from nuclear families had lower odds [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.4; 95% CI: 0.2-0.8] of having limited health literacy. Students whose mother education was up to secondary school (aOR: 10.1; 95% CI: 1.3-78.9), students with pre-existing mental health conditions (aOR: 3.7; 95% CI: 1.4-9.6) and students with unsatisfactory health status (aOR: 3.9; 95% CI: 1.5-10.5) had higher odds to have limited health literacy. These results suggest the importance of prioritizing school health promotion and education activities for students with pre-existing mental health conditions and mothers with low educational attainment. Implementing peer support group programs for children with mental illnesses, mobilizing school health professionals and introducing interventions such as vocational training of mothers can collectively improve health literacy among school-going children.

초등돌봄교실 참여에 영향을 미치는 학교 요인 분석

This study analyzed school factors affecting participation in elementary school care programs by using data from Edu Data Service System (EDSS). A total of 3,574 elementary schools in Korea were analyzed. The analysis method was hierarchical multiple regression to examine the explanatory power of each variable affecting participation in elementary school care programs. The dependent variable was the participation rate of elementary school care programs, and the independent variables were school characteristics, school educational activity programs, and school facilities. In addition, by analyzing the participation rate of elementary school care programs by region, this study examined the participation rate of elementary school care programs according to regional factors. The results showed that the explanatory power of model 1, which includes school characteristics variables, is 34%. The explanatory power of model 2, which includes the school education activity program variable, increased by 12.6%, and the explanatory power of model 3, which includes the school facility variable, increased by 6.2%. In terms of the participation rate of elementary school care programs by region, it was found that the participation rate of elementary school care programs in small cities and towns were higher than in large cities. In conclusion, the following implications can be drawn from the analysis. First, school facilities should be expanded to accommodate elementary school care programs. Second, it is necessary to expand the number of elementary school care programs to be focused on small cities and towns where there is a high demand for elementary school care programs. Third, after-school programs should be diversified. This means that elementary school care programs should be operated not only for lower grades but also for higher grades.

Parents' participation in school education has recently been promoted in a policy and has spread in the school field, and interest in the parent association has also become the main focus. However, contrary to the high interest of parents in participating in school education, relatively few studies have sought what parents want in school and how to properly participate in school education activities. This study aims to comprehensively examine the participation of parents in school education, the desirable role of the parent association, and the results that parents want from the school or office of education. To this end, a survey was conducted in June 2023, and the response data of a total of 334 parent monitor groups operated by the Office of Education A were analyzed. The contents of the survey include overall participation in parent school education, the main purpose and necessity of participation in parent school education, the desirable role of the parent association, and the perception of support or projects desired by the Office of Education. For item analysis, difference verification and cross-analysis were conducted at the school level. The results of the research are as follows. First, the perception that parents are the subject of school education, communication and collaboration between parents, and the degree of agreement on the sufficiency of parents' participation in school education were relatively low. Second, presentation and cooperation on school management, and monitoring of school education were derived as the main purpose and necessity of participating in school education. Third, the desirable role of the parent association was to conduct and participate in parent demand surveys and to organize various school education participation activities. Fourth, support or projects desired by schools or offices of education generally showed strengthening parent capabilities (training, education, etc.) and expanding parent networks.
