Ethnomathematics of Lahbako Dance Movement In The Perspective Of Mathematical Literacy Of Geometry Concept

Movement in a dance is a visual symbol full of meaning conveyed to be accepted by dance lovers from the whole dance performed. The selection of dance movements is related to the mathematical concept of illustrating its meaning (ethnomathematics). In addition, there is a mathematical literacy process of geometry concepts revealed in dance movements. This becomes a meaningful symbol that becomes a wealth of dance movements that are increasingly interesting to present. The purpose of this research is to identify the ethnomathematics of lahbako dance in the perspective of mathematical literacy of geometry concepts. qualitative research with a descriptive approach to explain the data and its discussion. Data collection methods of interviews, observation, and documentation with data validity test source triangulation. Subjects 2 people from Arutala dance studio and Hastarini. The results obtained are dance movements that come from different habits and interpretations of dancers but the actual meaning of the movements is the same. Ethnomathematics in lahbako dance successfully illustrates the meaning of the movements conveyed in lahbako dance through hand, finger, foot, and body movements that modify into lines, acute and obtuse angles, and triangular and rectangular fields. The mathematical literacy perspective of the geometric concepts of lines, angles, and fields is visualized conceptually, the application of real contexts of daily life, geometric thinking, and the delivery of mathematical language helps in illustrating the message conveyed in a lahbako dance, namely the activities of tobacco farmers.

Dyslexic Aba: a game to help children with dyslexia

This article presents a game to help professionals in the field of Education and Psychology using the Applied Behavior Analysis methodology in teaching literacy to children with dyslexia. The game is aimed at dyslexic children, aiming to improve learning and the achievement of reading and writing, aiming to challenge the user to form scrambled words with inverted, similar or facing down letters according to a picture shown, such as the word "car”, which for the dyslexic will show “artrph”. together with some inverted or rotated "r", the word size increases as the user changes levels, the game uses a "drag and drop" style, in which the user drags the letter from the shuffled frame and places it in the proper position to form the word. The methodology does not adopt negative stimuli "Game Over" and in parallel works with positive stimuli using sound and visual effects and obtaining points. The application has a functional logical structure that is easy to use, contextualizing different environments of a house, with personalized design, standardized, animated and colorful objects, uniting gameplay, education, teaching and positive stimuli in the literacy process of dyslexic people.

How socioeconomically disadvantaged people access, understand, appraise, and apply health information: A qualitative study exploring health literacy skills.

Health literacy, or a person's competence to access, understand, appraise and apply health information, can be considered a mediating factor between socioeconomic characteristics and health disparities. Socioeconomically disadvantaged people in particular present with less health literacy skills. To develop targeted interventions tailored to their real needs, it is important to understand how they function and what difficulties they encounter when dealing with health information. The purpose of this study was to explore their experiences when accessing, understanding, appraising, and applying health information in their everyday lives. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 socioeconomically disadvantaged adults living in the community in Switzerland (age range: 44-60 years old). Thematic analysis of the interviews yielded four themes, describing the health literacy processes of participants, related barriers, and compensatory strategies used: Financial insecurity triggers the need for health information; Pathway 1: Physicians as ideal (but expensive) interlocutors; Pathway 2: The internet as a suboptimal alternative; and Pathway 3: Relatives as a default resource. The progression of socioeconomically disadvantaged people in the health literacy process is like an 'obstacle course', with numerous steps taken backwards before they can develop compensatory strategies to overcome the barriers to obtaining health information. Financial deprivation seems to be the most important factor contributing to health literacy barriers. Appraising health information is the health literacy skill with which socioeconomically disadvantaged people struggle the most. Physician-based, individual skills-based, organizational, and policy-based interventions are needed to help them overcome their health literacy challenges.

Analysis of Mathematical Literacy Ability Based on Learning Style of Middle School Students

This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 204 Jakarta with research subjects, namely class VIII-B students. This study aimed to determine students' mathematical literacy skills based on Kolb's learning style. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, using instruments like questionnaires, test questions, and interview guides. Questionnaires are used to categorize Kolb's learning styles. At the same time, the mathematical literacy test was given as many as four description questions with Circle material and interview guidelines to find more in-depth information related to the mathematical literacy abilities possessed by the subjects in this study. Based on the research that has been done, students with diverging learning styles tend to use concrete experiences they have learned and are not afraid to try. Subjects with an assimilation learning style tend to emphasize theory, subjects with a convergent learning style look more active and have high self-confidence, and accommodation subjects tend to have concrete problem-solving experiences. Subjects with the Kolb learning style can show the process of mathematical literacy, which is suitable for the context of still common questions.

Educational digital game for the development of skills in children outside the literacy range

The use of educational applications is becoming increasingly common, parents and guardians are already looking for ways to make their children develop skills from an early age that facilitate the literacy process, such as thinking, following the rules, motor control, memory, among others. The great challenge for these parents is to find something to train this knowledge without their child being disinterested in practicing, and the use of technology can make this problem something tangible when well planned and executed. The use of gamification provides a basis for application developers to create software capable of meeting what is necessary for the child to evolve learning and, of course, having fun. The game was conceived and modeled (UML), defining the necessary software requirements for this target audience and built using the Construct 3 tool. A validation stage will be carried out in which there will be the collaboration of pedagogues and early childhood education teachers to verify the possible contributions of the game. The preliminary results of the design and construction of the digital game are presented here.
