Meningkatkan Literasi dan Numerasi dengan Memadukan Teknologi pada Program Kampus Mengajar 6 di SD N 2 Tamansari

The Teaching Campus is an MBKM (Free Learning Campus) program organized by the Ministry of Education and Culture with the aim of providing opportunities for students to learn and develop themselves through activities outside of lectures. This program gives students the opportunity to become teacher partners, encourage learning innovation, and develop literacy, numeracy, and technology adaptation in the 3T area. Focus is also given to efforts to increase people's interest in reading and the importance of literacy and numeracy, including the obstacles faced in its implementation. This research aims to revive the school literacy movement through literacy and numeracy familiarization activities. The research results show that technical training, understanding material concepts, and introducing technology are the main focuses of mentoring. The implementation of the Literacy and Numeracy Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) with technological devices provides positive results, including increasing understanding of numeracy material, individual development, motivation and self-confidence of students. This research provides a positive picture of the potential for improving the quality of basic education through the Teaching Campus program.

Analysis of the Depth of Literacy with Fertility in Ever Married Women Aged 15-49 Years (Advannced Analysis of Indonesian Health Demographc Survey (SDKI) 2017)

Literacy is a concept that is integrated into knowledge, motivation and competence to access, understand, assess and apply health information to make decisions and make decisions in everyday life. One important factor that supports a person's knowledge is the depth of literacy. This research uses a quantitative approach using data from the results of data collection in the Indonesian Health Demographic Survey which is then analyzed using the chi-square test. The research results show that depth of literacy is related to fertility with p = 0.000, which means there is a relationship between depth of literacy and fertility level. The importance of literacy is the main trigger factor for increasing knowledge, so efforts need to be made so that people increase their interest in reading about things related to their health.

Internet is a Loaded Gun: Ray Bradbury’s Prophetic View of Digital Literacy

In addition to being a bestselling author, Ray Bradbury was also a voracious reader and lifelong advocate of libraries and literacy. His books, including his most famous work, Fahrenheit 451, include themes of anti-censorship, the importance of literacy, and warnings of over-reliance on technology. Bradbury’s attitude towards technology was always more concern than hatred—concern for society’s over-dependence on technology. Recent years of digital culture have proven that Bradbury was correct to be concerned about dependence on the internet for constant visual stimulus. However, his optimism, in regard to what the internet could offer, was also well-founded. The internet, simply put, is a tool designed by humans for humans to communicate and enhance the public accessibility of information. Without proper instruction in information literacy, the general public cannot always distinguish between information, misinformation, and disinformation. Bradbury’s view of technology, as evidenced in several of his works—including, Fahrenheit 451, The Illustrated Man, and episodes of The Ray Bradbury Theater—warns of how overreliance on technology can lead to a belief in misinformation and a decline in information literacy skills.

Mediated depictions of mental health, chronic care and literacy: a narrative analysis of Randall's mental health journey in the television series, This is Us.

Mental health and delivery of care is a global issue, that was only magnified by COVID-19. Over the past 3 years, people's time spent watching television increased, while the way that mental health care was delivered changed. Audiences can gain insight into mental health issues through positive or negative mediated depictions on television. We argue that mental health is a chronic condition and the importance of literacy through different domains is critical for how the characters in media content and audience viewers make sense of mental health. The current study uses qualitative narrative analysis to examine the narrative probability and fidelity at the intersection of mental health depictions, the chronic care model, and different types of literacy in the award-winning series, This is Us. Findings reveal that Randall's experiences with mental health (N = 38 episodes) depict moments of narrative coherence and fidelity to varying degrees. We see Randall's experiences align most with the self-management support and community elements of the CCM, but the overall depiction is unbalanced. Randall's literacy level is high, but if inspected on a deeper level, analysis points to differing levels of health and mental health literacy, thus enabling and constraining positive and realistic portrayals of mental health. Implications for mental health as a chronic issue and care delivery through CCM are discussed along with the importance of different types of literacy for audience members who may be struggling with a mental health disorder or trying to navigate the health care system. We offer recommendations for using Randall's narrative as a teaching tool, integrating CCM into clinical visits to help guide delivery of care and understand literacy levels, and finally future work should continue this line of work from an Entertainment-Education perspective.

Habituation of Mathematical Literacy Trained in Junior High School

<p style="text-align:justify">The importance of literacy is a competency requirement that must be possessed by students to face competition in the 21st century. This is directly related to the extent to which students' scientific thinking processes understand and solve problems. This study aims to describe how literacy is trained in learning in junior high schools. The approach used is a qualitative approach with the type of phenomenological research. The participants in this study were 5 junior high school teachers who teach in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Data was collected through virtual interviews with the help of the Google Meet platform. The data analysis model used is the model of Bogdan and Biklen with data collection procedures, data reduction, verification and conclusion. The results showed that literacy was trained on students with the habit of reading textbooks for 15 to 30 minutes every day by reporting their readings in student journals, teacher efforts in changing project and problem-based learning methods and strategies according to student conditions, and teacher habituation in providing HOTS level questions to train students' critical thinking processes, balance theoretical understanding and understand the surrounding environment.</p>

Link Between Adult Literacy and Participation in the Labour Market: Central European Region

Human capital, together with financial and material resources, is an important factor in the economy of society. Human capital can be defined in different ways, but knowledge, abilities, skills, competences, or literacy, in general, are essential parts. It can be said that literacy is the cornerstone of human capital. According to the basic principles of the theory of employment, factors such as education, gender, age, health, marital status, and emigration have a major impact on participation in the labour market. However, in scientific discourse, there is a strong emphasis on these factors and the importance of literacy. However, there is a lack of studies specifically analysing the links between literacy and participation in the labour market. In particular, it is important to analyse whether literacy is equally important for participation in the labour market in different regions and countries. This article analyses the link between participation in the labour market and literacy in the Central European region. Six Central European countries are analysed based on the International Survey of Adult Skills OECD PIAAC. An analysis of the main parameters showing how a person participates in the labour market suggests there is a link between a person’s literacy and their working status, type of employment contract, managerial position, and economic sector.

Health Literacy and Health Outcomes in Iranian Adolescents: A Systematic Review

Background and Objective: Health Literacy is the capacity of individuals to obtain, interpret, and understand health-related information for making an appropriate decision. The aim of this study was a systematically review the literature on the outcomes of literacy in Iranian adolescents. Materials and Methods: The search was done on scientific databases, using the keywords health literacy, health knowledge, teen, adolescent, high school, middle school and Iran in Persian and English, from 2010 until 2021 Jan. Study process was conducted from 10th of December to the end of December. Studies were considered with data about outcomes of literacy in Iranian adolescents. Results: Ten studies met inclusionary criteria. Two studies reported students with higher literacy had better health-promoting behaviours; moreover, two other studies reported students with higher literacy had better body mass index. One study reported better oral literacy conducted to lower oral problems; furthermore, one study showed that higher literacy leads to osteoporosis preventive behaviours. Results of one study indicated that higher literacy leads to more perceived self-efficacy and better self-care performance. One study showed better hair and skincare performance in students with higher literacy. Another study indicated that students with higher literacy had better attitude and behaviour toward breakfast consumption and the results of one study demonstrated that students with better literacy had better nutrition behaviours. In all studies, there were statistically significant linear correlations between literacy and its outcomes (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated that adolescent's literacy seems associated with important outcomes then considering the importance of literacy in adolescents, designing and implementing educational intervention for promoting literacy is significantly important. As adolescents spend most of their daily time in schools, educational interventions should be school-based.

Individual Differences in Parental Support for Numeracy and Literacy in Early Childhood

Past research has examined parental support for children’s math and reading skills in the early years through parents’ reports of their activities with their children in somewhat inconsistent ways. In this study, we use data from a large sample of parents (n = 259; 103 males) collected through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk to examine dimensions of parental enrichment in both support for literacy and numeracy skills at home. Additionally, we examine how socioeconomic resources as well as parental beliefs relate to these dimensions of the home literacy and home numeracy environment. Factor analyses revealed two dimensions of literacy activities (i.e., passive and active literacy activities) and three dimensions of numeracy activities (i.e., numeracy applications, basic numeracy, and written numeracy activities). Income was positively associated with active literacy activities, whereas parents’ educational attainment was negatively associated with active literacy activities and written numeracy activities. Additionally, parental beliefs, including their beliefs about the importance of literacy and math skills as well as their perceived responsibility for teaching their children reading, math, and language skills, related to home literacy and numeracy activities in distinctive ways. These results suggest that future research should explore parental enrichment practices with greater nuance, particularly when examining associations with socioeconomic status.

Role of English Language as a Literacy Tool in Shaping the Perception of Women’s Empowerment

Over the centuries, the notion of women’s empowerment has created an immense effect on both women and men. This research aims to study the influence of the English language in shaping the concept of women’s empowerment amongst undergraduate students in a private university in Malaysia. The objectives of this study are to identify male and female undergraduates’ perception towards women’s empowerment and to investigate the correlation between the role of the English language and the undergraduates’ perceptions towards women’s empowerment. This study is based on a correlational research design that includes 570 undergraduates from 6 distinct faculties. T-test and regression analysis were done to test the correlation between the variables and their significance. The findings of this study established that there is a significant difference between male and female students’ perceptions that indicates that female and male participants have varying perceptions towards women’s empowerment. With the English language playing a significant role in shaping the perception of women’s empowerment, the female participants were self-aware of how engagement in the English language can enhance the extent of their empowerment. Projection of the findings also addressed the growing importance of literacy as a mediator in the relationship between the English language and women’s empowerment.

The Role of Infographic Learning Media in Increasing Literature Interest of SMP Students During Pandemic

The beginning of 2020 is a time when the world undergoes enormous changes . Enactment deployment virus Covid 19 as a pandemic by the WHO (World Health Organization) makes almost all sectors of life required to adapt to activities without meeting face to face. No exception in the sectors of education, teaching and learning activities are also activities due to this pandemic situation. The changes felt by the training staff and students are great, especially in terms of literacy. Children's literacy interest in Indonesia is still very low, this is certainly a concern that must be considered given the importance of literacy. During the pandemic, which relies on technology, it must also be used as a way to improve student literacy in Indonesia. The use of learning media provided online can certainly be used as an effort to increase student literacy interest . This research is motivated by the low interest in student literacy and distance learning. Therefore, researchers are looking for efforts through the use of learning media to increase student literacy interest, namely by using infographics. The purpose of this study was to determine how far the level of students' literacy understanding after using infographics as a medium for delivering subject matter. This research is descriptive qualitative, with a phenomenological approach as well as conducting observations and interviews. The research was conducted on students of SMPN 2 Margahayu, Bandung Regency. The results of this study indicate the effectiveness given in the use of infographics as learning media to increase student literacy interest.

Utilising pupils plurilingual skills: a whole-school approach to language learning in a linguistically diverse Irish primary school

Since the mid-1990s, schools in many parts of Ireland have experienced an unprecedented increase in the level of linguistic and cultural diversity among pupils. This paper describes an innovative approach to integrated language learning that was developed in a primary school in West Dublin in response to this phenomenon. To ensure inclusion of all pupils and to support them in reaching their full potential, pupils’ plurilingual repertoires are welcomed. Two overarching goals to language teaching and learning inform the whole-school language policy that seeks to: • ensure that all pupils become proficient1 in the language of schooling • exploit the linguistic diversity of the school for the benefit of all pupils (Council of Europe [CoE] 2001: 4; Garcia 2017: 18). Classroom procedures that facilitate inclusion of home languages in curriculum delivery and the needs of pupils who are endeavouring to learn English as an additional language are described. The importance of literacy is highlighted as is teacher, pupil, and parent cooperation. In addition to high levels of achievement in standardised tests of English and Maths, additional outcomes are identified including enhancement of the Irish language, a developing culture of learner autonomy, and the cultivation of pupil confidence and social cohesion.

The Impact of Different Writing Systems on Children's Spelling Error Profiles: Alphabetic, Akshara, and Hanzi Cases.

The importance of literacy in academics and the predominantly digital world cannot be understated. The literacy component of writing is less researched than that of reading, even though it holds equal significance for modern success. Spelling is an important aspect of the construct of literacy, and is more difficult to acquire than reading. Previous work on spelling error analysis for English provides insight into the sets of knowledge and cognitive processes required for children to perform the task, and their different strategies across development. However, different sets of skills and strategies may contribute to spelling across types of orthographies. In this study, we extend spelling error analysis to groups of biliterate children learning two scripts, which include English plus either: (a) another Latin-script alphabet with a shallow orthography (Malay); (b) a transparent alphasyllabary using akshara (Tamil); or (c) a non-alphabetic, morphosyllabic script using simplified hanzi characters (Mandarin Chinese). These sets of scripts vary in how speech is mapped to print. We utilized an error coding scheme based on triple-code theory to enumerate the occurrence of phonological, orthographic (graphemic), and morphological (semantic) types of spelling errors across the three language groups. Five hundred and sixty-eight Grade 1, 6-year-old children participated, with 128 English + Malay, 119 English + Tamil, and 321 English + Chinese children in each bilingual group. They completed a spelling to dictation task in their Asian language, with ten words taken from the grade level curriculum per language. Results indicate group differences in the proportions of error types, with more overall errors for Tamil, more phonological errors for Malay, and more irrelevant or non-sense words for Chinese. The implications are that different scripts present different challenges for young learners.

Health Numeracy and Relative Risk Comprehension in Perioperative Patients and Physicians

Helping patients to understand relative risks is challenging. In discussions with patients, physicians often use numbers to describe hazards, make comparisons, and establish relevance. Patients with a poor understanding of numbers-poor "health numeracy"-also have difficulty making decisions and coping with chronic conditions. Although the importance of "health literacy" in perioperative populations is recognized, health numeracy has not been well studied. Our aim was to compare understanding of numbers, risk, and risk modification between a patient population awaiting surgery under general anesthesia and attending physicians at the same center. We performed a single-center cross-sectional survey study to compare patients' and physicians' health numeracy. The study instrument was based on the Schwartz-Lipkus survey and included 3 simple health numeracy questions and 2 risk reduction questions in the anesthesiology domain. The survey was mailed to patients over the age of 18 scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia between June and September 2019, as well as attending physicians at the study center. Two hundred thirteen of 502 (42%) patient surveys sent and 268 of 506 (53%) physician surveys sent were returned. Median patient score was 4 of 5, but 32% had a score of ≤3. Patients significantly overestimated their total scores by an average of 0.5 points (estimated [mean ± standard deviation (SD)] = 4.3 ± 1.2 vs actual 3.8 ± 1.3; P < .001). Health numeracy was significantly associated with higher educational level (gamma = 0.351; P < .001) and higher-income level (gamma = 0.397; P < .001). Physicians' health numeracy was significantly higher than the patients' (median [interquartile range {IQR}] = 5 [4-5] vs 4 [3-5]; P < .001). There was no significant difference between physicians' self-estimated and actual total numeracy score (mean ± SD = 4.8 ± 0.6 vs 4.7 ± 0.6; P = .372). Simple health numeracy (questions 1-3) was predictive of correct risk reduction responses (questions 4, 5) for both patients (gamma = 0.586; P < .001) and physicians (gamma = 0.558; P = .006). Patients had poor health numeracy compared to physicians and tended to overrate their abilities. A small proportion of physicians also had poor numeracy. Poor health numeracy was associated with incomprehension of risk modification, suggesting that some patients may not understand treatment efficacy. These disparities suggest a need for further inquiry into how to improve patient comprehension of risk modification.

Literacy: Promoting Sustainability in a Digital Society

We increasingly live simultaneously immersed in physical interactions and in a world where the digital dimension is present at various levels, such as the social, economic and political ones. In this context, the relationship between the digital world and Sustainability is pivotal. This aim of this paper is to discuss, in a reasoned manner, the importance of literacy in the promotion of sustainability in a digital society. For this purpose, the results of a literature review will be mobilized, as well as our 20 years of experience in teaching and research in the fields of sociology, education and organizations, without forgetting the publications that we have on similar topics, which will be, whenever heuristically relevant, mobilized to substantiate and justify the arguments presented herein. The conclusions show that, in a reality where the digital involves many of the life dimensions—for example, in the form of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0—the role of literacy and, in particular, digital literacy, are critical in the development of sustainability literacy. For this to be possible, significant training work must be carried out. Furthermore, it is not possible to assume that the access, the skills in its use and the benefits of this wonderful digital world will automatically be grasped and felt by all citizens, in an ideology that must be fought. Only in this way will it be possible to foster sustainability, which must necessarily be inclusive.

Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Melalui Gerakan Literasi Perdesaan di Desa Cimanggu Kabupaten Bandung Barat

ABSTRACT: COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT THROUGH RURAL LITERACY MOVEMENT IN CIMANGGU VILLAGE, BANDUNG BARAT DISTRICT. The community in Cimanggu Village, Bandung Barat Regency has a low literacy culture. This is due to various factors starting from the factor of the village government that does not support the literacy movement aimed at policy instruments, the cultural factors of the community who regard literacy as not a necessity and the factors that come from academics who do not disseminate information about the importance of literacy. Based on the above problems, the students of Cimahi School of Public Administration (STIA Cimahi) in the community engagement service launched a program in the form of rural literacy movement. To realize this, various activities were carried out starting from visits to village governments to encourage literacy policies at the village level. Conducting counselling to the community about the importance of literacy. Conducting literacy activities in children`s play environment that encourage children to make literacy activities a necessity and culture, as well as renovating a library in the village to make it easier for the community to access literacy infrastructure in the village.

Sola Scriptura in Africa: Missions and the Reformation Literacy Tradition

This theoretical reflection addresses issues arising in the history of world Christianity, in particular regarding mission churches in Africa since the nineteenth century. The article first evaluates the development of oral, manuscript and print communication cultures in western culture, and their influence since the first century in the Church. Modernity could only develop in a print culture, creating the cultural environment for the Reformation. Sola Scriptura theology, as in Calvin and Luther, considered the written Word of God essential for the Church’s life. The role of literacy throughout Church history is reviewed, in particular in the modern mission movement in Africa and the growing African church, to show the importance of literacy in developing a strong church. In conclusion, spiritual growth of churches in the Reformation tradition requires recognition of the primacy of print culture over orality, and the importance of a culture of reading and study.
