Research on the Current Status and Countermeasures of Chinese Language Teaching in Primary Schools under the Background of New Curriculum Reform

The continuous advancement of educational reform has set higher standards for the teaching of Chinese language in primary schools. Teachers are required to continuously explore and adopt innovative teaching methods while discarding outdated approaches to enhance teaching efficiency. Primary education marks the beginning of children's learning journey, playing a decisive role in stimulating their interest in learning and developing good habits. Therefore, improving teaching methods in primary schools not only positively affects children’s current learning but also lays the foundation for their future academic growth, contributing to the improvement of students' comprehensive abilities. Despitethis, the teaching outcomes in primary schools still have room for improvement.Some students have not yet developed good study habits and show resistance to learning, which affects the teaching effectiveness, especially in the Chinese subject where this issue is more pronounced. Therefore, it is crucial to deeply analyze the current situation of Chinese language teaching in primary schools and find effective improvement strategies. This can enhance students' motivation to learn and improve the quality of teaching.

The Application of Classical Conditioning Theory in Elementary Education

As an important part of China's basic education, elementary education is the first stage of China's compulsory education, which plays an important role in laying the foundation and guiding students' academic development and personal growth. How to improve the teaching quality of elementary education, help students develop good learning habits, and better promote students' academic development is very worthy of deep thinking. Pavlov's classical conditioning theory originated from the dog saliva secretion experiment, and its rich connotation and characteristics have important revelation significance for elementary school teaching and behavioral therapy. Therefore, based on the connotation and main features of Pavlov's classical conditioning theory, it is of great research value to explore its application strategies in elementary school classroom teaching and elementary school students' adverse behavior modification, so as to better promote the sound growth of elementary school students.

Potential food factors affect the fatality rate of COVID-19: an analysis using multiple linear regression

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused great harm to people around the world. This article explores the relationship between healthy diets and the fatality rate of COVID-19 from the perspective of healthy diets. This article collects data from Kaggle, pre-processes and standardizes it, conducts principal component analysis(PCA), divides it into five different dietary patterns(The contribution rate of these five dietary patterns is 72.917%, which can be interpreted as the principal component), and then constructs a multiple linear regression model. In the construction of this model, this article uses the idea of stepwise regression to remove variables that are not significant, leaving the parameters of the first and second principal components significantly non-zero. The results show that the estimated value of the parameter for the first dietary pattern in linear regression is 0.013, whereas the estimated value of the parameter for the second dietary pattern in linear regression is -0.005. Vegetable oils and vegetable products are negatively correlated with the fatality rate of COVID-19, while starchy root foods and animal products are positively correlated with it. Finally, the conclusion is drawn: In normal meals, it is more important to pay attention to the intake of vegetable foods, and try to ensure that the intake of meat foods should also be accompanied by a large amount of different types of vegetables. In the process of cooking, try to use vegetable oils such as soybean oil, olive oil, etc., which contain a lot of vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids. For starchy root foods and certain high-protein, high-fat animal products, try to eat less in life. On the premise of ensuring good eating habits, it will have a good protective effect on COVID-19.

A qualitative systematic review of adolescent's perceptions of sleep: Awareness of, barriers to and strategies for promoting healthy sleep patterns.

To consolidate adolescents' perspectives regarding various aspects of sleep and offer insights to promote healthier sleep habits during their critical developmental years. Six electronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, PsycINFO and Web of Science) were searched from their inception dates to June 2023. Data were extracted and meta-summarised using Sandelowski and Barroso's approach and synthesised using Thomas and Harden's thematic analysis framework. Meta-synthesis from 11 peer-reviewed published studies identified four main themes: (1) Awareness and understanding of sleep's significance, (2) The shadows and radiance of slumber, (3) Traversing the sleepscape: trouble bubbles and (4) Illuminating the path: Guiding lights to enhanced sleep. Our review findings suggest a lack of awareness and guidance regarding the significance of sleep and the cultivation of good sleep habits among adolescents. Identified barriers to adequate sleep encompass various factors, including overthinking, poor habits, family/environmental influences, extensive technology use, peer pressure, the fear of missing out, academic demands and involvement in extracurricular activities. Strategies to improve adolescents' sleep health involve multiple sleep strategies, including sleep education, workshops/seminars, parental involvement, incorporating digital well-being practices, the promotion of relaxation techniques and the provision of essential resources. Prioritising sleep health and implementing targeted interventions are key steps to empower adolescents, create supportive environments and shape a healthier future generation. Future research endeavours should focus on evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and exploring the influence of cultural factors. There exists a notable lack of awareness and guidance regarding the significance of sleep and the cultivation of good sleep habits among adolescents. Barriers to achieving adequate sleep among adolescents include overthinking, poor habits, family/environmental influences, extensive technology use, peer pressure, the fear of missing out, academic demands and involvement in extracurricular activities. The collaboration between healthcare institutions, professionals and educational institutions is crucial to facilitate (1) the implementation of sleep education workshops/seminars targeting adolescents, (2) increased parental involvement and role-modelling to instil good sleep practices among adolescents and (3) enhanced integration of digital well-being practices, the promotion of relaxation techniques and accessibility to essential sleep hygiene resources. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. No patient or public contribution. This review was registered on the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42023403775).

A Survey Of Reading Habits Of Pre-Service English Teachers In The School Of Teacher Training And Education

This study explores the reading habits of pre-service English teachers enrolled in a School of Teacher Training and Education. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research aims to identify the frequency, preferences, and motivations behind the reading activities of these future educators. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to 54 respondents and semi-structured interviews, providing both quantitative and qualitative insights. The findings indicate The questionnaires were distributed to 54 pre-service English teachers. The statistical analysis of the data indicates that even if the majority of students have read English since they were young, they may not necessarily have good reading habits in English, specifically. It appears that just a tiny portion of them have consistent reading habits in English based on their eagerness to regularly spend time reading various types of English texts. The study also shows that most of students prefer reading fiction texts instead of academic texts which reveals the imbalanced approach toward their reading habits. Factors influencing these habits include academic demands, personal interests, and the increasing accessibility of digital content. The study underscores the importance of fostering robust reading habits among pre-service teachers to enhance their professional development and effectiveness in the classroom. The implications of these findings suggest the need for targeted interventions and support mechanisms within teacher training programs to promote a balanced and enriching reading culture.

Development of Tlogo Village Community Health

This activity aims to provide health guidance to the Tlogo Village Community, Tuntang District, Semarang Regency by providing assistance with children's growth and development (posyandu), providing knowledge dissemination for teenagers who are still lacking in promiscuity and providing aerobic exercise training guidance to the community.

This good habit needs to be improved in the future with better programs.

Relationship between Tooth Brushing and Hand Washing by Family Type among Adolescents: A 2020 Nationally Representative Korean Survey

Habits formed during adolescence tend to persist into adulthood, and correcting poor habits or behaviors during this time is more effective than at other times. Particularly, parents and caregivers should encourage good hygiene habits in their adolescent children by setting a positive example themselves. Using logistic regression, we analyzed the association between brushing teeth after lunch and washing hands before lunch by family type among 54,848 adolescents from the 17th Youth Health Behavior Survey raw data in 2021. Four logistic regression models were used to adjust for confounders hierarchically. In all models, adolescents who practiced tooth brushing after lunch were 2.09 times more likely to practice hand washing before lunch than those who did not. With and without adjustment, we found that the association between adolescents’ tooth brushing and hand washing practices in two-parent households was stronger than the association between adolescents’ tooth brushing and hand washing practices in single-parent households. Associations were found between tooth brushing and hand washing practices, and these associations were higher among adolescents in two-parent households than among adolescents in single-parent households. The finding of a significant link between family type and personal hygiene habits indicates the need for interventions to enhance the oral health of children and adolescents. Such interventions should be customized to reflect the specific characteristics of the child’s household.

Research on the Cultivation Strategy of Primary School Students' Mathematical Language Expression Ability

Learning mathematics is a process of learning mathematical language, which is the external manifestation of mathematical thinking, the carrier of mathematical knowledge and mathematical ideas and methods, and at the same time, mathematical knowledge also needs mathematical language as a medium to disseminate and communicate. In the study of mathematics, whether students can learn mathematics well is related to whether students have good mathematical language skills, but many studies can show that there are obvious deficiencies in the current mathematical language expression skills of primary school students. Therefore, teachers need to strengthen students' thinking training and good study habits, so as to further cultivate students' mathematical language expression ability and improve students' core literacy. To this end, this paper will elaborate on the concept and classification of mathematical language, as well as the cultivation strategies of primary school students' mathematical language expression ability.

Dietary diversity, undernutrition, and predictors among pregnant adolescents and young women attending Gulu University teaching hospitals in northern Uganda.

Undernutrition has deleterious consequences to both the mother and the unborn child, significantly contributing to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. We assessed dietary diversity, the prevalence, and predictors of undernutrition among pregnant adolescents and young women (PAYW) attending antenatal clinic (ANC) at two large teaching hospitals in northern Uganda. Between 12th June 2023 to 27th October 2023, we conducted a facility-based, cross-sectional study at Gulu Regional Referral Hospital (GRRH) and St Mary's Hospital Lacor (SMHL), both in Gulu district, Uganda. We recruited PAYW aged 15-24 years attending ANCs. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the study participants were collected using a pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire. Undernutrition was defined as a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) of < 23 cm. Modified Poisson regression analysis was performed to determine factors independently associated with undernutrition. Data analyses was performed using STATA version 17.0. A p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. A total of 324 participants, with a mean age of 21.2±2.2 years were enrolled. About 62.0% (n = 201) of the participants dewormed during pregnancy. The prevalence of undernutrition was 12.7% [n = 41]. Prevalence was higher among participants who maintained pre-pregnancy diet (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] = 2.27, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.26-4.05, p = 0.006), those who did not receive nutritional education (aPR = 2.25, 95% CI: 1.21-4.20, p = 0.011) and consumption of non-green leafy vegetables (aPR = 4.62 95% CI: 1.64-13.01, p = 0.004). The prevalence of undernutrition was lower among participants who consumed milk and milk products (aPR = 0.44 95% CI: 0.24-0.81, p = 0.009) and among those who consumed fish and seafood compared to those who did not (aPR = 0.45 95% CI: 0.20-1.00, p = 0.050). About 1 in 8 of PAYW attending GRRH or SMHL had undernutrition, particularly those who lacked education about feeding habits during pregnancy and limited access to milk and milk products, fish and seafoods. We recommend health workers to offer timely education of pregnant adolescent and young women mothers about good feeding habits during pregnancy, appropriate monitoring of weight gain and physiological changes during pregnancy.

Folklore In Elementary School Textbooks

The purpose of this topic is to highlight the usability, role and impact of folk creativity in the textbooks of grades 1 - 5. Considering that students from the first grade to the fifth grade are constantly confronted with folk creations, it is important that to know what impact they have on children's lives, in various social, pedagogical, cultural, psychological aspects, etc. We will also address the aspect of how these creations are suitable for the age and psycho-cognitive aspect of the students. But one thing is certain, that they predominate in useful instructions and teachings, through which various vices and weaknesses are reprimanded, and on the other hand, good human habits are praised and supported. Therefore, these creations have always served and will continue to serve in the future for the education of children. Folklore creativity is very present in school textbooks, in its various forms, such as fairy tales, riddles, proverbs, folk songs, lullabies, folk games, etc. Therefore, we have tried to treat these creations from the perspective of how they are presented to students. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how popular creativity is used and whether this subject is sufficiently included in school textbooks from grades 1-5.

Empowering Adolescents: Exploring the Relationship between Self-Esteem and Test Anxiety

Background: Test anxiety is a major cause of student non-performance, despite adequate preparation. This paper is part of a multi-centric youth behavior study project done in 2022 by the Association of Adolescent and Child Care in India (AACCI). Aims: to study self-esteem and test anxiety in school children. Methods: The tools used were RSES- Rosenburg Self-esteem Score (scores &gt;25 are considered high self-esteem and FTAS- Freidben Test Anxiety Scale (scores &gt; 7 are considered significant). Sample: 242 students (10-18 years) studying in a coaching class in Aurangabad (males 53.31%, females 46.69%). Validity &amp; reliability: The RSES - Guttman scale coefficient of reproducibility is 0.92, indicating excellent internal consistency. Test-retest reliability over 2 weeks reveals correlations of 0.85 and 0.88. FTAS- the internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) of the total and the three sub-scales of the FTA (range: .81-.91validity, 0.82 (girls) and 0.84 (boys). It has also been shown to be significantly correlated with peer evaluations of the degree to which test-related stress is experienced (Total: 0.54; Fear of Social Derogation: 0.52; Cognitive Obstruction: 0.64; and Tenseness: 0.78. Ethical issues: This project has been cleared by the AACCI IEC. Parental permission and assent of students were taken. Statistical analysis was done using t-test/ANOVA by GNU PSPP. Results: Analysis of our data showed that this sample had significant mean test anxiety scores: total FTAS (9.19±5.37). SD-Social Derogation (3.84±2.61), CO-Cognitive Obstruction (2.46±2.17), and T-Tenseness (2.88±1.95). Females showed higher scores - total FTAS (10.23±5.10) and SD (4.40±2.54). A strong correlation was found between FTAS score and SD factor across all ages with the strongest positive correlation coefficient for early adolescent female students r (24) =.92, p&lt;.001. Conclusion: Females had higher test anxiety scores, and lower self-esteem scores and will need specific intervention. Being judged by marks affects the self-esteem of adolescents. SD factor was significant across ages in this sample. AACCI conducts awareness programs for parents and teachers to reduce social pressure on children given high SD scores. We also conduct intervention programs for improving CO scores by instilling good study skills and habits and relaxation and stress relief methods to reduce T scores in the context of test anxiety.

A Study of Moral Development of Children and Good Habit Formation on Indian Child Rearing Practices Context

Different religious, political, and cultural groups in India hold different opinions on how children should be raised. Given the wide variety of Indian cultures and traditions, it would be unfair to generalise about Indian parenting practices. Each family's unique set of circumstances, including their financial situation, level of education, and life experiences, shape their approach to childrearing. This study has surveyed the existing literature and synthesised theoretical frameworks, drawing attention to the applicability of theories such as Piaget's phases of moral development, Kohlberg's theory of moral development, and Gilligan's ethics of caring in a variety of cultural contexts. With an emphasis on Indian child-rearing techniques, this study investigates how family dynamics, cultural values, and socio-economic factors impact children's ethical thinking and behaviour. Important topics covered include how moral principles are passed down through families and communities, how religious teachings are included into the process of ethical development, and how digital media influences the way moral decisions are made. Aiming to promote moral reasoning and positive habit formation in children, the article also evaluated empirical studies and meta-analyses that highlight beneficial educational interventions and parenting techniques. The findings from this review states that children are fed with cultural learnings; however, this method does seems to be always positive and moral development of children and good habit formation among them is very important.

Study Habit of Higher Secondary Level Students and its Relation with their Academic Achievement

The present study was conducted to analyze study habits of higher secondary level students with respect to gender, residential zone and school type and also to investigate its relation with students' academic achievement. 803 students, who have just passed Madhyamik Examination were randomly selected from fourteen (14) Bengali medium schools under three categorical variables namely gender (boys &amp; girls), residential zone (urban. rural &amp; semi urban) and school type (Government, Government aided &amp;self-financed). Study Habit Inventory (SHI) was prepared and used for the said purpose. In the present study no significant difference was observed among the students in their study habits with respect to gender (t =0 .640, p = .522), residential zone (F=1.469, p = 0.231) and school type (F =0.058, p = 0.944).It was also found that there was no significant interaction effect of gender, residential zone and school type on students' study habit (F=0.389, p&gt;0.05). Significant positive correlation (r = 0.234, p&lt;0.01) was found between study habits of the students and their academic achievement. Also, study habit of the students was found to be a significant predictor of their academic achievement as the overall regression procedure resulted in a R=0.234, R2=0.055, F=46.295, p&lt;0.01. It is quite evident that good study habit is necessary for students' academic achievement as well as lifelong learning process.
