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.

학교 교육 참여에 대한 학부모의 인식 분석

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. Fifth, there was no significant difference in parents' perception of participation in school education by school level. Based on this, implications for participation in parent education were discussed.

SELF-AWARENESS OF A PARENT AND THE PROCESS EDUCATION GOODNESS AND PREDOMINANCE IMMATERIAL OVER MATERIAL OF PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN

Introduction. The process of education in pedagogy is considered as a two-way process. Parents in the modern educational space pay great attention to the control of the teacher-student relationship. Such a focus can be shifted to a system of relationships with a child included in the parent-teacher-student system. The parent’s self-awareness in the context of spiritual and moral education determines the content of the article. The forms and content of the activities of the socio-psychological service of the school, teachers in the parent-student-teacher triad have been studied and are being studied constantly. Changes in socio-economic and cultural processes offer new questions in the theory and practice of pedagogical activity, taking into account positional thinking, the age of the student and the self-consciousness of his parent.
 Purpose: to analyze the methods, forms and content of goodness and predominance inmaterial over material and moral education of primary school children and the necessary processes of changing the parent’s self-consciousness.
 The methodology and research methods take into account the principle of consistency and, when analyzing the content and forms of goodness and predominance inmaterial over material and moral education activities in primary school, model the elements of the structure of the goodness and predominance inmaterial over material and moral component of the parent’s self-consciousness.
 Results and scope of application. The proposed model of the structure of the goodness and predominance inmaterial over material and moral component of the parent’s self-consciousness makes it possible to adapt the parent-student-teacher triad to situations in the conditions of positional thinking.

Integrated Disaster Risk Management in the Education Process in Schools

Research in educational disaster mitigation has developed and is widely carried out, especially in schools. This research explores good practices based on the experience of teachers in Indonesia regarding the possibility of integrating DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) education into the learning process in schools. This study used research and development (R and D) methods with the APPED model (preliminary analysis and research, design, production, evaluation and dissemination), which was carried out for two years. In particular, this paper reports the results of the first year’s research with research activities including: (i) analysis and preliminary research and (ii) design. In the initial analysis and research stages, the research team carried out several activities, including analysis of material coverage, learning outcomes, and learning activities through literature review and document analysis, combined with case studies and FGD (Focus Group Discussion) involving 87 teachers in Yogyakarta, Malang, and Ciamis. Furthermore, the results of the activities in the second stage, (Design), are in the form of an analysis of the needs of students in DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) education based on Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR). Studies reveal that DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) education has the potential to be integrated into educational activities in schools. Practically, the main components of DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) education include: coverage of materials, learning outcomes, and learning activities. The research results also show that the integrated interdisciplinary curriculum model has the potential to be adopted in the implementation of DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) education, through intra-curricular, extra-curricular and co-curricular learning activities. This finding has implications for the need for teacher involvement in the next research stage, where production, evaluation, and dissemination processes are carried out. Good practices that have been carried out by teachers have become one of the important instruments in implementing integrated disaster risk management with the educational process in schools . Further, important to consider the integration of science and indigenous knowledge (ISIK) in implementing DRR education in schools, through intra-curricular, extra-curricular and co-curricular. The disaster and mitigation knowledge were empirical, genuine, participatory and interactive, within the localities context. Schools can be good agents for dissemination of the ISIK perspective in disaster and mitigation studies. Although the relation between scientific and indigenous knowledge is proposed by the participants, but theoretically and practically needed follow-up studies, especially to reduce the level of vulnerability.

A Call to Action: Using Curriculum Mapping at Four Medical Schools in Massachusetts to Advance Serious Illness Communication Training in Undergraduate Medical Education.

Background: Practicing physicians require serious illness communication (SIC) skills to ensure high-quality, humanistic care for patients and families as they face life-changing medical decisions. However, a majority of U.S. medical schools do not require formal training in SIC and fail to provide students deliberate practice before graduation. The Massachusetts Medical Schools' Collaborative was created to ensure that students receive foundational SIC training in undergraduate medical education. This Collaborative developed a curriculum-mapping tool to assess SIC at four medical schools. Objective: We aimed to understand existing educational activities across four medical schools and identify opportunities to build longitudinal, developmentally based curricular threads in SIC. Design: From July 2019 to April 2021, faculty, staff, and medical students assessed current educational activities related to five core competencies in SIC, adapted for students from national competencies for palliative medicine fellows, using a curriculum mapping tool. Measurements: The group selected 23 keywords and collected metrics to describe the timing, instruction and assessment for each school's educational activities. Results: On average, there were only 40 hours of required curricula in SIC over four years. Over 80% of relevant SIC hours occurred as elective experiences, mostly during the postclerkship phase, with limited capacity in these elective experiences. Only one school had SIC educational activities during the clerkship phase when students are developing clinical competencies. Assessment methods focused on student participation, and no school-assessed clinical performance in the clerkship or postclerkship phase. Conclusions: Medical schools are failing to consistently train and ensure basic competency in effective, compassionate SIC. Curriculum mapping allows schools to evaluate their current state on a particular topic such as SIC, ensure proper assessment, and evaluate curricular changes over time. Through the deliberate inclusion of SIC competencies in longitudinal curriculum design, we can fill this training gap and create best practices in undergraduate medical education.

Evaluating suicide attitudes and suicide literacy in adolescents

Background Two of the most common modifiable barriers to help-seeking for mental health problems during adolescence are stigma and poor mental health literacy. However, relatively little is known about stigma as it relates to suicide, and knowledge about suicidality in this age group. Aims To assess levels of suicide literacy and suicide attitudes in an adolescent sample, and to identify correlates of these constructs. Methods Data were drawn from the pre-intervention survey of the Sources of Strength Australia Project. A total of 1019 adolescents aged between 11 and 17 years participated. Suicide literacy and attitudes were measured alongside potential correlates including psychological distress, suicidal ideation, mastery, previous exposure to suicidal thinking and behaviour, and demographics. Results Participants more strongly endorsed attitudes attributing suicide to isolation/depression, compared to attitudes glorifying or stigmatising suicide. Gaps in knowledge about suicide included the risk factors, signs and symptoms. Key correlates of suicide attitudes and literacy included age, gender and cultural background. Conclusion Findings highlight the need for further education activities in schools and public awareness campaigns that address the gaps in suicide knowledge and attitudes. Such activities would assist in the identification of suicide risk among young people and improve help-seeking in this population.

Finally, practical suggestions for the enlargement of the system are discussed.

Precise Analysis Mode Exploration of Class Management

Classes are the main place for students to study and live, as well as the basic organization of school education and teaching activities. Therefore, class management is an important part of school management. Through the analysis of various data of the class, we can accurately understand the advantages and shortcomings of the class, and then formulate targeted management strategies to improve the overall level of the class and the comprehensive quality of the children. This accurate analysis mode not only provides the class committee with a clear idea of managing the class, but also points out the direction for each student to improve themselves, and provides a basis for the counselor to manage and serve the students. Most articles start from the individual students for class management, but this article considers the class as a whole, takes the school evaluation index as the starting point, deeply analyzes the various indicators of the class, identifies the disadvantages of the class, classifies guidance, and practice proves that the method in this paper has a good role in promoting the construction of class learning style.

Hygienic assessment of lifestyle, work pressure and regime, health status and psychological well-being in teachers

Introduction. The state of health in students in schools is directly dependent on the state of health and psycho-emotional well-being in teachers.
 The purpose of the study: to substantiate the algorithm for assessing the provision of favourable conditions for the professional activities of schoolteachers based on an analysis of the lifestyle, work intensity and work regime, the state of health and psychological well-being in teachers.
 Materials and methods. The object of the study were teachers, tools for assessing the health promoting activities of schools. Surveys of lifestyle, work management, psychological status in teachers, medical examinations were conducted; analysis of tools for assessing the health promoting activities of schools.
 Results. Teachers are mostly women aged 30 to 59 years, with an average teaching experience of 23 years, have favourable family and living conditions. The optimal intensity of the teacher’s activity was found in 3.3%, acceptable – in 76.7%, tense of the 1st degree (harmful) – in 20.0%. 74.1% of teachers had a high level of occupatonal stress. Most teachers care little for their health. The leading behavioural risk factors for teachers are irrational unbalanced nutrition, irrational management of work and rest, low physical activity.
 Limitations. The use of a complex of research methods was one of the strengths of the study, which made it possible to identify potential factors affecting the health of teachers and develop an algorithm for assessing the provision of favourable conditions for the professional activities of schoolteachers. The program of an in-depth examination with the determination of the state of health and psychological status included only primary school teachers in Moscow, so the results of the study may vary depending on the place of residence (region) and personal characteristics, but can be generalized in relation to persons with similar background characteristics and conditions 
 Conclusion. Modern professional risk factors for the health of teachers are determined. For the first time, indicators and an algorithm for assessing the provision of favourable conditions for the professional activity of schoolteachers are proposed.
