Implementation of Digital Literacy in Elementary Schools

Digital literacy is one form of development in the 4.0 revolution era where we can access various desired information quickly. Of course, the digital literacy school environment impacts the learning process significantly. This study aims to analyze how the implementation of digital literacy in elementary schools. This type of research is qualitative with a research design in 4 stages: first, research focus. Second, research implementation (Observation, Interview). Third, data analysis. Fourth, the study results, the research subjects were 1 principal, 6 teachers and 6 students. Data collection techniques and research instruments include observation sheets and interview guidelines—data analysis using an interactive analysis model from Miles and Huberman. The study results show that the application of digital literacy in elementary schools is still not optimal. It is proven when conducting interviews and observations that the learning process is still teacher-centred and generally uses what app group digital literacy media is. In addition, the breakthrough about digital literacy in the school environment is still lacking, so that the implementation of digital literacy is only limited to understanding. Barriers experienced include students having difficulty understanding the material and limited internet quota. Therefore, to maximize the implementation of digital literacy in elementary schools, programs such as conducting training, manuals and digital literacy infrastructure are needed.

Language practices of the digital multi-semiotic genre meme by 3rd grade students in elementary school I

This article aims to discuss digital literacy in elementary school 1, considering the proposal of the Common National Curricular Base, particularly the linguistic/semiotic analysis. Specifically, to examine the generative path of meaning in the fundamental, narrative and discursive levels of the production of multisemiotic text, the meme, of 3rd grade students. Therefore, the question was asked whether 3rd grade students are being encouraged by the school to develop meaningful skills in the language practices of multisemiotic texts such as the digital genre meme. In response it is assumed that 3rd grade students, who can already be considered digital natives, comment on the content and even produce memes, because they are already being trained by the school to develop critical and reflective sense regarding the language practices of multisemiotic texts such as the meme. We adopted the axis of linguistic/semiotic analysis of the Common Curricular Base (2018), in the processes of reading and production of texts (oral, written, and multisemiotic), with Fiorin (2017), Soares (1998), and Ribeiro (2018) as theoretical support.

Digital Literacy Curriculum in Elementary School

Advances in technology and information have an impact on the ease and abundance of various information resources that are obtained digitally and are not limited so that all levels of education need to adapt to technological advances including elementary schools in managing curriculum and learning. The purpose of this research is to find out how digital literacy is in elementary schools. The research method uses a systemic literature review by analyzing 15 relevant articles on digital literacy in elementary schools and 10 article about curriculum digital literacy. Research findings show that the digital literacy curriculum is carried out by integrating digital literacy in all areas of the school. In the implementation of learning, elementary school students still consider the teacher as the only source of information. Therefore, it is necessary to have a collaborative role between teachers, principals and parents in integrating digital literacy in learning and overcoming something unwanted. Digital literacy in elementary schools places more emphasis on media literacy in learning which has an impact on interactive and collaborative learning, one of which is video, stop-motion and social media. Indirectly digital literacy can improve student learning outcomes.

Financial Literacy Education in Ontario: An Exploratory Study of Elementary Teachers' Perceptions, Attitudes, and Practices

Politicians are pushing school boards to do more to ensure students leave school with the financial literacy skills they will need to navigate an increasingly complex financial marketplace. Financial literacy education must start early to achieve this goal, yet there has been very little Canadian research on financial literacy education at the elementary level. This exploratory study used an anonymous, online survey to gain a preliminary understanding of full-time Ontario elementary teachers’ perceptions, attitudes, and practices with respect to financial literacy education. Respondents overwhelmingly favour teaching financial literacy in elementary school. Almost half of respondents currently incorporate financial literacy into their classroom practice. These teachers rely primarily on free, online resources. With respect to barriers to teaching financial literacy, respondents cited the lack of an appropriate curriculum and lack of support from schools and school boards. Respondents identified professional development as the main type of support they would like to see schools and school boards provide to support them in teaching financial literacy going forward.

Measuring Basic Mathematical Literacy in Elementary School

Measuring mathematical literacy is not easy as this construct is multicomponent and tasks often involve a lot of reading. As a rule, intended users of measurement results want information about the overall level of respondents’ mathematical literacy as well as its specific components. According to educational and psychological testing standards, reporting overall scores together with subscores simultaneously requires additional psychometric evaluation to provide evidence for validity of all scores reported. A study performed shows that PROGRESS-ML, a test measuring basic mathematical literacy in elementary school pupils, can be used as a one-dimensional measure, allowing overall test scores to be reported. Meanwhile, reading skills do not contribute significantly to the likelihood of item response, and subscores can be reported as complementary to the total score.

School-based interventions for promoting food and nutrition literacy (FNLIT) in elementary school children: a systematic review protocol

BackgroundFood and nutrition literacy is a newly emerged concept to connect food-related knowledge and skills to healthy diets. Its promotion is important to protect children as they eat too many low-nutrient, high-energy foods. Food and nutrition literacy promotion needs multi-dimensional interventions. In the process of developing an intervention to promote food and nutrition literacy, the present review protocol aims to critically examine the evidence in the area of school-based interventions for promoting food and nutrition literacy (FNLIT) in elementary school children.MethodsWe will search PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and ProQuest (from inception onwards). Additional studies will be identified through manual searching of reference lists. Quantitative studies (e.g., randomized controlled trial, quasi-randomized trials, and cluster randomized trials) evaluating the effect of interventions to promote food and nutrition literacy in elementary school children (5–12 years old) will be included. Main outcomes will be food and nutrition literacy at functional, interactive, and critical levels. Secondary outcomes will be dietary intake indicators (e.g., healthy eating index, DDS) and health outcome measures (e.g., reduction in BMI and less weight gain). Two reviewers will independently screen all citations, full-text articles, and abstract data. Potential conflicts will be resolved through discussion. The study methodological quality (or bias) will be appraised using appropriate tools. If feasible, we will conduct random effects meta-analysis. The quality of the included studies will separately evaluate using the validated Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies, developed by the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP). Data will be extracted by two reviewers from the identified relevant literature. Standard data synthesis and analysis will be used for the review.DiscussionThis systematic review will summarize the evidence regarding the components, implementation methods, and effectiveness of the interventions of food and nutrition literacy promotion in elementary school children. The results of this review will provide a useful reference for policymakers and curriculum developers to assess education curricula and develop practical learning and teaching strategies to improve students’ food and nutrition literacy.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO (CRD42019135118)
