ДИДАКТИЧЕСКИЕ ИГРЫ КАК СРЕДСТВО ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ ПРАВИЛЬНОЙ РЕЧИ ДЕТЕЙ ДОШКОЛЬНОГО ВОЗРАСТА

Compilation of Didactic Games in the Process of Joint Activity with Preschool Children as a Means of Forming Grammatically Correct Speech Summary Didactic games are the most optimal and accessible form of teaching preschool children. Any didactic game consists of several elements: first of all, it is a primary goal, a didactic task that involves performing the same task (depending on the age group of children, it differs in its complexity), rules and direct game actions. The organization of the educational process in preschool involves the correct selection of didactic games, since the tasks assigned to children are possible, but they also require strengthening mental strength, their development and self-realization.

Psychophysiological Characteristics of Identifying Activity of Younger Schoolchildren Summary Studies have shown that children of younger school age learn very complex mental skills and norms of behavior with amazing ease. Junior school age is a period of emotions, accumulation of knowledge, mainly assimilation. Junior school age is a period of gathering, memorizing and assimilating knowledge. Imitation is the source of success in the education of a young schoolboy. Students repeat the judgments of the teacher, give examples similar to those of their friends, etc. Although from the outside it may seem like copying, in fact it helps the child to learn the learning material. But at the same time, it can lead to superficial assimilation of those or other events. It is not typical for children of this age to think about any difficulties and complexities. The direction of the young schoolboy's personality is expressed by his needs and motives. There is still a high demand for game activity, but the content of the game is changing. now, while playing, he writes, solves problems, reads, draws, reads for ten hours. All this is important to consider when organizing training activities. Key words: younger schoolboy, intersubject integration, cognitive activity, psychophysiological features, assimilation, adaptation

Correlating technical and tactical, and kinematic elements: An in-depth analysis of game-related metrics and running activities in sub-elite senior male rugby union players

To comprehend the complexity of rugby union performance, it is crucial to correlate technical and tactical, and kinematic elements specifically for playing roles. Hence, this study investigated the relationship between game-related metrics and running activities in sub-elite senior males. Technical and tactical performance and running activity of 36 sub-elite senior players (age mean = 25 years; total performances = 200) were assessed in relation to 17 key performance indicators (KPIs). A series of general linear mixed models were performed to evaluate the relationship between KPIs according to roles (backs, forwards and scrum halves), including subjects and games as random effect. The main finding was that the tactical context relates distinctly running activities, and this effect varies between backs and forwards. Tackling mainly involves impacts and deceleration, whereas carrying the ball is associated with impacts and accelerations. Furthermore, the percentage of missed tackles is related to higher occurrences of acceleration events. These findings offer a more profound understanding of the physiological requirements in sub-elite rugby performance, especially given the limited evidence on the interaction between technical and tactical performance and running activities in sub-elite rugby union games. As a result, coaches and physical practitioners should design and execute diverse training sessions that consider both the tactical context and the players’ positions.

Implementation of the School Literacy Movement (GLS) for Students of Junior High School (SMP) Al-Azhar 3 Bandar Lampung

School literacy in the context of the School Literacy Movement (GLS) is the ability to access, understand, and use things intelligently through various activities including reading, viewing, listening, writing, and speaking. This research aims to find out and describe how the School Literacy Movement (GLS) is implemented among students and the obstacles they face. In this research, the researcher chose SMP Al-Azhar 3 Bandar Lampung as the place for carrying out the research. This research is descriptive qualitative research, with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation, and the researcher uses data analysis in the form of source triangulation. Based on the results of this research, it was found that the implementation of the school literacy movement (GLS) at SMP Al-Azhar 3 Bandar Lampung has fulfilled three stages of the chool literacy movement (GLS), namely habituation, development, and learning based on the school literacy movement guidelines in junior high school, which was determined by the Directorate General of Primary and Secondary Education, Ministry of Education and Culture in 2016. Activities at the familiarization stage include opening class (Tadarus Al-Qur’an), daily reading journals, class library media, moving book media, literacy-themed poster media, creating a text-rich environment, alumni donating books to the library, and activities for selecting reading books. The development stage includes opening class (tadarus Al-Qur’an), vocabulary game activities, BBQ activities (Bina Baca Qur’an), tasmi’ activities, activities responding to reading results, and independent reading hours. The learning stage includes opening class (Tadarus Al-Qur’an), vocabulary games, activities responding to reading results, and reading challenge activities. The obstacles faced in implementing the School Literacy Movement (GLS) at SMP Al-Azhar 3 Bandar Lampung include general obstacles and specific obstacles. The general obstacles consist of a lack of literacy-themed collections and inadequate library facilities. This results in a lack of interest in reading in the library, while special obstacles appear in moving book activities. This is due to the lack of supervision carried out by library staff, whose number is still minimal.

Combating Gaming Disorder in 2024: A Survival Manual

IntroductionGaming Disorder (GD) has not been officially recognized as a diagnostic entity in the DSM-5, being listed in the “conditions for further study” section. However, it is described in the ICD-11, and clinically, it is observed that an increasing number of individuals, particularly the younger population with easier access to technology, are affected by this issue. Nefarious consequences include loss of performance at school/work and a potential for failing other responsibilities such as in the familiar and social spheres.ObjectivesDespite its harm, psychiatrists are generally less familiar with this entity when compared to other psychiatric disorders. Thus, our main goal was to establish a comprehensive and hollistic review of its approach.MethodsA bibliographical research on the topic was conducted from the available scientific literature on the topic, with the utmost priorization of evidence-based sources.ResultsThe overall prevalence of Gaming Disorder is challenging to assess precisely, but it is estimated to be around 3%, making it comparable to obsessive-compulsive disorder and some substance use disorders. It is more common than pathological gambling. Clinically, GD is characterized by an excessive preoccupation with gaming that supersedes all aspects of life. It may also involve a compulsion to play and the presence of withdrawal symptoms from periods when there are no gaming activities. The behavior is driven by the ACE triad (anonymity, convenience, and escape). Often, individuals with GD do not seek treatment. Although there are no specific pharmacological agents, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and naltrexone have shown some success. In psychotherapies, cognitive-behavioral therapy has the strongest evidence.Conclusions There is a limited amount of information on GD, and when researching the topic, one primarily encounters information on other substance-related addictive disorders and, in the case of behavioral disorders, gambling. However, as young people are increasingly exposed to screens and video games with potential harmful effects on their development, and in adults, inhibiting them from taking on work and family responsibilities, it is essential to conduct more studies on the subject to prevent these deleterious consequences.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Impact of Internet on Social life of Students: An Overview

In this paper we discuss about impact of internet on social life of students, an overview as we all know, Internet today is widely recognized not only as a means of communication but also as a powerful tool. Internet usage among students involves not only the use of leisure time, but also their community involvement and social networking. Students are now facing major social issues like isolation, mental depression, lack face to face communication, waste of time, excessive use of social networking sites and depression. Rather it was found that children who spend more time on the internet were more likely to spend more time with other media, more time on some kind of physical activities, and were more socially involved. The study recommends that as the internet is regarded as an in separable part of human life, students should conscious of using the internet. Internet represents the greatest collection of human knowledge and has enabled many communications in the world to manage communication and solve problems. Internet usage will become addicted and more likely to ha-case negative and less support in learning activities. So using the Internet for social media as much as, use for online gaming activity, while utilizing the Internet for watch you tube, rarely use the Internet to learn and seek information.

Influence of Online Gaming on Behavior of Gamers in Pakistan

This study reveals that online video games have emerged as a novel platform for social interaction, wherein numerous gaming options facilitate player’s competition and collective interaction within the virtual realm. Gamers have increasingly begun to form distinct virtual social communities due to the inherent capacity of these games to facilitate social networking in a multiplayer online setting. This phenomenon has given rise to a unique social dynamic among video game enthusiasts. The present study delves into an exploration of the social gaming behaviour exhibited by participants engaged in multiplayer online games. Additionally, it seeks to establish a correlation between virtual and real-world behaviours by examining the relationship between destructive and constructive social behaviours and the dominance and affiliation dimensions of social interaction. Purpose: Online gaming has become a unique phenomenon among the young players with a significant influence on them. The basic objective of this study was to determine the social interaction caused by online gaming among young game players. This study conducted in Pakistani perspective has achieved the objections set to analyze the influence of online gaming and increased level of social interaction. Design/Methodology/Approach: To conduct this investigation, an online survey was administered to individuals who regularly engage in multiplayer gaming activities and dedicate a substantial portion of their daily time to gaming. The study sample consisted of 200 gamers spanning an age range of 16 to 30 years. Findings: The results of this inquiry shed light on the prevalence of pro-social behaviour and anti-social behaviour, characterized by constructive and destructive actions among gamers, respectively. Furthermore, the study reveals that destructive behaviour negatively predicts affiliation, while constructive behaviour has a positive predictive influence on affiliation. Moreover, certain demographic variables, such as age and gender, exert a significant impact on the prediction of dominance within the gaming community. The findings of this study provide substantial support for the notion that virtual social interactions have a notable influence on real-world behaviours, underscoring the interconnectedness between the online gaming environment and broader social dynamics. Implications/Originality/Value: Online gaming has become a common practice not only among young adults but also among the minors. Thus, this phenomenon has reduced physical activities among the youth and even among the school going children. This study may provide an insight into the matter and possible appropriate recommendations as well.

A Study of Teacher Intervention in Guiding Kindergarten Middle School Role Play

Games contribute to the development of children and reflect the level of development of children[ 1]. In kindergarten game activities, role play is popular among children, and it plays a significant role in the healthy development of children. During the process of participating in role-playing, young children's bodies and minds are fully developed and perfected. Middle class children are in a special transitional period, unlike small class children who do not have much understanding of roles, nor are they mature enough like large class children. Therefore, middle class children need more guidance from teachers. This paper observes and records the intervention and guidance of teachers in the role play of the middle class in Kindergarten A. Through analyzing the identity, methods, time, and attitude of teachers'intervention and guidance, it is found that there are four aspects of teachers'intervention and guidance in the role play: the teacher is mainly a director, and he or she provides authoritative intervention and guidance; the teacher's intervention is inappropriate; the teacher's attitude is not positive; and the time of teacher's intervention is unreasonable. In response to these issues, it is proposed that teachers should pay attention to games and provide guidance at the right time; Teachers should choose appropriate methods for guidance; Teachers should transform. from “directors” to “players”; Respect children's willingness to play and give full play to their freedom.

AMALAN PENGAJARAN DAN PEMBELAJARAN UNTUK JUVANA DI SEKOLAH PEMULIHAN

As stipulated in the National Children Policy, all children are required to get a proper education, a statement which includes juveniles. However, it is not easy to impart knowledge to this group of delinquent children. Therefore, this study will explore what teaching and learning practices that are appropriate for juveniles based on the objective to explore how teaching is implemented by teachers for juveniles. Specifically, this study took place in three different Tunas Bakti rehabilitation school zones. In order to carry out this objective, a qualitative approach which is the Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) design was used throughout this study. Through purposive sampling, a total of 23 respondents including 18 teachers, 3 administrators and 5 education experts were selected. Three methods of data collection namely in-depth interviews, field observations and document analysis have also been used in this study. Next, thematic data analysis is highlighted to answer the research objectives. Findings found that there are three approaches that have been used by teachers to ensure effective teaching and learning takes place among juveniles, namely repetitive learning, the implementation of game activities and video screenings. Overall, these three approaches are able to have a positive impact on the objectives of the study and its implications, it is hoped that this study can contribute to improvements in teaching and learning practices for juveniles in rehabilitation schools.

Memory Asymmetry Creates Heteroclinic Orbits to Nash Equilibrium in Learning in Zero-Sum Games

Learning in games considers how multiple agents maximize their own rewards through repeated games. Memory, an ability that an agent changes his/her action depending on the history of actions in previous games, is often introduced into learning to explore more clever strategies and discuss the decision-making of real agents like humans. However, such games with memory are hard to analyze because they exhibit complex phenomena like chaotic dynamics or divergence from Nash equilibrium. In particular, how asymmetry in memory capacities between agents affects learning in games is still unclear. In response, this study formulates a gradient ascent algorithm in games with asymmetry memory capacities. To obtain theoretical insights into learning dynamics, we first consider a simple case of zero-sum games. We observe complex behavior, where learning dynamics draw a heteroclinic connection from unstable fixed points to stable ones. Despite this complexity, we analyze learning dynamics and prove local convergence to these stable fixed points, i.e., the Nash equilibria. We identify the mechanism driving this convergence: an agent with a longer memory learns to exploit the other, which in turn endows the other's utility function with strict concavity. We further numerically observe such convergence in various initial strategies, action numbers, and memory lengths. This study reveals a novel phenomenon due to memory asymmetry, providing fundamental strides in learning in games and new insights into computing equilibria.

Analysis of players’ stroke performance relevance in tennis matches

ABSTRACT In this study, we applied the stroke performance relevance (SPR) method to analyse the performance of players in 53 elite men’s singles matches at the 2018 and 2019 Australian Open, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon championships. The SPR method assigns a distinct contribution value to each stroke, considering the stroke’s outcome and timing. The investigation scrutinised every stroke, analysing stroke technique, placement, and game action across three court surfaces to understand their impact on match outcomes. The results revealed that 1) serve technique is crucial in high-level men’s singles matches, especially on hard court and grass, while groundstrokes significantly influence match outcomes. Forehand groundstrokes, with notably higher SPR values than backhand groundstrokes, are more beneficial for winning players. 2) Court surfaces minimally impact stroke placements; deeper and closer-to-the-sideline shots yield better scores on all courts. 3) Neutral actions (both players use offensive techniques to strike the ball) show significant differentiation in match outcomes. For both players who won match and players who lost the match, negative SPR values for return and defence across different courts indicate a negative impact on match outcomes. 4) SPR is a new method to help coaches and players quantify stroke performance in matches.

Mahjong detection based on YOLOv5

Mahjong is a captivating game that enjoys popularity in China, Japan, and various other Asian nations. The rapid progress of artificial intelligence technology has spurred significant research attention towards achieving automated mahjong matches. Central to this effort, the precision of mahjong card recognition plays a pivotal role in determining the effectiveness of subsequent tasks.The traditional image recognition method mainly relies on the similarity measurement between the target and the template, whose accuracy and stability cannot meet the needs of the application due to changes in external factors such as the angle and lighting of the mahjong image acquisition in the actual game. In this article, a mahjong intelligent recognition method based on YOLOv5 is proposed. Specifically, this article applies image recognition technology to the AI training of national standard mahjong, and quantitatively analyzes the impact of mahjong image quality (such as shooting angle, mahjong size) on model prediction results. The results show that the proposed method based on YOLOv5 can achieve robust recognition of mahjong, which can bring some new insights to the field AI games.

Level of physical fitness and physical development of volleyball players

In modern volleyball, the physical training of athletes acquires special importance in connection with the expansion of the range of game actions, the increase in the tension of the game, which requires maximum physical effort from athletes in situations that change quickly on the volleyball court.
 The purpose of the work is to determine the level of physical fitness and physical development of volleyball players based on the results of pedagogical testing.
 Research results. The study was conducted at Polis National University (10 team players, trainer-teacher: A. P. Denisovets). Pedagogical testing was conducted, in which 10 volleyball players of the student team took part. In the pedagogical testing, the following control exercises were used to assess the development of motor skills: long jump from a standing position, jumping up from a standing position, jumping up from a running run according to Abalakov), bending and extending the arms in a resting position while lying down, lifting the trunk into a sitting position from a lying position, throwing stuffed ball weighing 1 kg, "shuttle" run 4×9 m and a combined test.
 The results of the study indicate that volleyball players have different levels of physical fitness. The results of hand and static dynamometry show that the highest indicators are observed in players who perform the role of the first pace, followed by players of the second pace. Linking players have a lower level of physical fitness.
 Based on a study of the physical development of volleyball players, it was established that their average body length was 185 cm, and their average weight was 75 kg. First pace players had a height advantage compared to other playing roles, although libero players were shorter compared to other players. These data indicate a tendency to favor tall players in the formation of teams, regardless of their qualification and competition rank.
 Conclusions. The conducted research will enable specialists and coaches to determine the optimal ways of planning to improve indicators of physical fitness and physical development of volleyball players, both during educational and training sessions of groups improving the sportsmanship of students and highly qualified athletes at all stages of multi-year improvement.

Students’ Assessment of Learning in a Volleyball Course at a University: A Mixed Methods Study

The aim of the study was to evaluate students’ assessment of their learning after a teaching period of volleyball training in a university course. The teaching was research-based and linked to relevant theories of motor learning, small-sided games (SSG), teaching games for understanding (TGfU), and motivational climate. To examine the research question, a mixed methods design was used, which included a questionnaire and reflection notes from the students. The questionnaire data constituted the basis for an analysis of the students’ reported development in their skills and knowledge in four relevant learning outcomes, while the qualitative data provided more in-depth data related to their learning. The statistical analyses showed a significant increase in the experience of skills and knowledge in all four relevant learning outcomes related to the curriculum of the course. From reporting poor or medium goal achievement prior to the course, the students, in general, reported good goal achievement after the course. The thematic analysis of the reflection notes supported these findings, in which game activities in small groups were especially identified as positive. Furthermore, the students stated that the teacher and a learning-oriented motivational climate were crucial in contributing to a positive learning environment. Some of the students reported too little instruction and feedback from the teacher during the course. The students expressed a few suggestions for changes to the content and methodology of the teaching. The study indicates that this type of research-based teaching may be important to produce a positive learning outcome for students. Our finding is consistent with previous research, which identifies which elements should be emphasized when implementing training in this subject area. As the survey only had 30 respondents and the design did not contain a control group, caution should be exercised when drawing strong conclusions from this study.

Competing With Artificial Intelligence Or Other Fans: Effects of Making Predictions About Game Outcome on Fans’ Perceived Curiosity and Evaluations of Game Consumption

This study focused on whether predicting the game outcome prior to watching the actual game results in more positive evaluations of game consumption from sports fans through heightened perceived curiosity and flow. This study employed a 4 (prediction type: no prediction vs. simple prediction vs. prediction and compete against AI vs. prediction and compete against other fans) × 2 (game outcome: winning vs. losing) between-subjects design. The results suggest that fans who make predictions about the outcome before watching highlight videos experience greater feelings of curiosity and flow, and more positive evaluations of game consumptions in comparison to those who do not make any predictions prior to watching the game. Our findings not only contribute to fan behavior and human-computer interaction literature by examining the role of prediction and curiosity but also offer meaningful practical implications for developing effective fan engagement interfaces by incorporating the elements of prediction and competition.

PERKEMBANGAN OLAHRAGA TRADISIONAL EGRANG PADA REMAJA DI DESA RIDOGALIH KECAMATAN CIBARUSAH

Physical education, namely education through physical activity to achieve physical education goals that have been formulated in the physical, psychomotor, affective and cognitive domains. Physical education contains many elements of sports or games, this activity of playing together is characterized by interaction with other people. Traditional sports are game activities that grow and develop in certain areas, which are full of cultural values and community life values and are taught from generation to generation and traditional sports are the result of the work, tastes and creations of the community which is called culture. For example, in traditional sports, the form of the game is a contest of concentration, balance, dexterity, endurance to cover a certain distance in each column of a predetermined row, where every time the player takes a step they have to maintain their balance to walk forward without falling. return to the starting position to get points. So those who must be involved in socializing the traditional Hadangan sport are the children who aim to preserve the Engrang traditional sports culture so that it does not fade.
