Objectives This study aimed to examine the research trends in domestic academic journals that provided activities to enhance professionalism in inclusive education for pre-service general education teachers over the recent 10 years. Methods A total of 51 studies included in the current analysis examined trends in domestic journals in terms of publication year, research types, professionalism of inclusive education, activities for the enhancement of professionalism, and participants. We compared the number of studies conducted for each variable over a 10-year period from 2013 to 2022, analyzing the quantity of research conducted in two 5-year intervals: from 2013 to 2017 and from 2018 to 2022. Results The main findings of the study are as follows. Compared to studies providing curriculum activities, studies providing non-curricular activities were more conducted. In relatively recent years, while the number and the proportion of research in the curriculum activities increased by one study and four percent, the number of research in the non-curricular activities increased by four studies, and proportion increased by 200%. Experimental studies were the most commonly used among research types. In terms of activities to enhance professionalism in inclusive education, perception and attitude were covered in about 90% of all studies, while knowledge and skills were covered in 25% and 17% of all studies, respectively. In terms of activities of professionalism, the curriculum activities were provided at a relatively higher proportion of 84% compared to 16% in the non-curricular activities. Overall, more studies targeting pre-service teachers(37%) and pre-service secondary school teachers(39%) were conducted than studies targeting pre-service elementary school teachers(19%). Conclusions Based on the findings of this study, we provided suggestions for future research, focusing on the areas with relatively less conducted.

IMPLEMENTASI POIN MAHASISWA

Todays the needs of graduates who have hard skills or soft skills are increasing, Hardskill is obtained from academic processes such as learning during college, while soft skills are obtained from extracurricular or non-curricular activities that can form distinct and clear student characters. To encourage STMIK AKAKOM students to have good soft skills, a Student Achievement Assessment Guideline was issued as a guideline for the student and student sections in calculating the number of extracurricular and non-curricular activities of each student called the Credit Performance Unit (SKP). Each S1 student must collect 110 SKP, D3 students only need 100 SKP during the lecture period that is evenly obtained in each semester so students must start to have activities from the first semester. Every semester the SKP value must be validated by the student affairs department. Ease of validation and time efficiency is absolutely necessary, therefore a computer-based SKP management system was developed. In the system there is a database for storing SKP data, facilities for students to report their SKP, and facilities for student affairs managers

Optimizing Fine Motor Coordination, Selective Attention and Reaction Time in Children: Effect of Combined Accuracy Exercises and Visual Art Activities.

Optimizing fine motor coordination and cognitive abilities in middle childhood through new intervention programs remains one of the most essential orientations in motor development and skills proficiency. The present study aims to identify the effect of a structure-based program intervention, combining motor accuracy exercises with visual art activities (ceramics, pottery, and creations using raw materials), on fine motor coordination, selective attention, and reaction time in middle childhood. Sixty, right-handed typically developed male schoolchildren (age = 8.29 ± 0.74 years; body height = 130.25 ± 0.05 cm and body mass = 29.83 ± 4.68 kg; mean ± SD) volunteered to participate in the study. They were randomly assigned to a combined group intervention (MG) receiving a mixed program integrating visual art activities and motor accuracy exercises; an accuracy group intervention (AG) receiving oriented motor accuracy exercises; and a control group (CG). Selective attention, reaction time, and fine motor coordination skills (accuracy: darts throw; manual dexterity: grooved pegboard test) were measured. Repeated measure ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA were performed for analysis. The results showed higher changes in MG compared to AG in manual dexterity (p < 0.001), in motor accuracy (p < 0.001), and in reaction time (p < 0.01), but not in selective attention (p = 0.379). In addition, higher changes were recorded in AG compared to CG in motor accuracy (p < 0.05), reaction time (p < 0.05), and in selective attention (p < 0.01), but not in manual dexterity (p = 0.082). The structured combined program best assists accuracy, manual dexterity, reaction time, and selective attention. Therefore, instructors in sports academies and teachers at schools are advised to use the combined program in the training sessions and in the non-curricular activities, respectively, to improve fine motor coordination, selective attention, and reaction time in middle childhood.

Factors Related to Clinical Competence among Graduating Nursing Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study.

This study investigated clinical competency, COVID-19-related anxiety, coping strategies, self-efficacy, and perceived stress among graduating nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a cross-sectional survey. Participants were recruited from universities located in four major cities in South Korea. General demographic information, clinical competency, self-efficacy, perceived stress, COVID-19-related anxiety, and coping strategies were assessed using reliable questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, correlations, and multiple regression tests were used to analyze the data. The mean clinical competency, self-efficacy, perceived stress, adaptive coping, and maladaptive coping were 138.16 ± 18.34, 83.85 ±14.02, 21.37 ± 5.79, 53.15 ± 4.64, and 30.98 ± 6.73, respectively. COVID-19-related anxiety was reported by 4.3% of participants. Clinical competency was significantly positively correlated with self-efficacy (r = .44, p < .001) and adaptive coping (r = .20, p = .035) and was significantly negatively correlated with maladaptive coping (r = .20, p = .035). The predictors of clinical competency were self-efficacy (β = .434, p < .001) and adaptive coping (β = .173, p < .039), which explained 23% of the variance in clinical competency. Self-efficacy and adaptive coping strategies are significant predictors of clinical competence during the pandemic. Planning and implementing various curricular and non-curricular activities to increase senior students' self-efficacy and adaptive coping strategies will help prepare competent nursing graduates for the pandemic when they enter the nursing workforce.

DEVELOPMENT OF CHARACTER STRENGTHENING IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS

Character is the values of goodness that have become a habit in action, which is a person's personality formed as a result of applying the various virtues. Character is a good mental trait that is shown when behaving politely, generously, forgiving, full of love, willing to sacrifice, appealing to humor, not excessive, and always obedient and pious. Character education focuses on implementing good values either in actions or behavior. Thus, character education is a process of forming habits in applying good values including the formation of moral knowing, moral feeling, and moral action. This research aims to develop a guidebook for implementing the strengthening of character education to solve moral dilemmas for students. The developed guidebook is expected to have validity and practicality in instilling good values for students. The research type is research development. The subjects of this research consisted of value education experts, lecturers, and students. Data were obtained by using interviews, documentation, and questionnaire techniques. Data analysis techniques used qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results showed that the character values for developing a guidebook for strengthening the character education consisted of five main characteristics, including behavior, diligence, cleanliness, neatness, and discipline. Additionally, those characteristics can be applied through intra-curricular, co-curricular, extra-curricular, and non-curricular activities. The test results of the guidebook were valid, and the results of the responses from prospective users showed that the Graduate Competency Standards, Content Standards, and Program Descriptions and assessment were in highly great qualifications. The results of this research were expected to meet the demands of providing a guidebook for strengthening the character education that can be used by lecturers and students in the implementation of strengthening of the character education at the Faculty of Education, The State University of Makassar.&#x0D; Keywords: Development research, Guidebooks, Strengthening Character Education, Students

The Establishment of the Swinney Conservatory of Music at Central Methodist University

The Swinney Conservatory of Music at Central Methodist University in Fayette, Missouri has a long history with unique beginnings. After the Civil War, Central College (Central Methodist’s original name) grew alongside a “Female Seminary,” Howard-Payne Female College. Through the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the two schools developed their own distinct musical cultures with Howard-Payne faculty developing a music curriculum, and Central students forming their own musical ensembles. When the schools merged in 1923 these two cultures united to create a conservatory of music at a time when many other American conservatories were being established. Just before the merger, Kansas City banker Edward Fletcher Swinney, who had strong family ties to the Fayette area and a history of philanthropy towards causes in Missouri education, donated $35,000 to Howard-Payne College for the construction of the conservatory building that would eventually bear his name. This article focuses on the early history of both Central College and Howard-Payne Female College, the role that music played at both schools (as a curricular and non-curricular activity) and the events leading to the formation of Central College’s music curriculum and construction of the Swinney Conservatory.

Students' resilience and mental health in the dental curriculum.

Dental education is perceived as a source of students' psychological and occupational stress. Resilience has been proposed as a protective factor that may support students' in managing that stress. The objectives of this study were twofold: to map the mental health and well-being content in the curriculum of the Faculty of Dentistry (FoD) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and to investigate factors influencing resilience levels amongst dental students at UBC. The curricular database and website of UBC's FoD were used to gather information on mental health content. A survey with the Connor-Davidson 10-Item Resilience Scale was distributed to dental students at UBC (N=289). Students' de-identified demographic data were also collected. Two main mental health and well-being curricular components were identified: one didactic session on stress management and one interactive workshop on resilience. The response rate for the survey was 68.2%. Students who did not receive any mental health content (2020/21year 1 students) had higher resilience scores (p=.043) when compared to students who received both components (2019/20year 1 students and 2018/19year 2 students). The multiple regression analysis highlighted North American/European ethnic origins as a predictor for higher resilience levels (p=.008). The results of this study showed that ethnic origins and major life events, such as the pandemic, influenced resilience. Curricular activities promoting resilience seemed to not necessarily impact students' resilience. Further longitudinal studies are needed to assess the curricular and non-curricular activities influence over dental students' well-being.

특수학교 가상현실 교육공간 운영에 대한 특수교사의 인식

The purpose of this study was to identify the considerations for the potential for use of virtual reality(VR) education spaces in special schools. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with five special school teachers concerning the operation of their VR education space with an eye toward the positive aspects as well as things to be improved. The results showed that the VR spaces in special schools mainly focused on physical education and were also used for non-curricular activities. The VR space allowed for educational activities that were free from the constraints of the physical environment and had many advantages in terms of teaching and learning. However, due to the limitations of the VR program itself, various efforts were required to increase its future use in education. Based on these results, we discussed several considerations for future educational use of VR were discussed.

Knowledge and attitudes toward the safe use of intravascular contrast media in medical imaging among clinicians: a cross-sectional study

Background: Safe use of intravascular (IV) contrast media in medical imaging is important. We aimed to assess the clinicians’ knowledge and attitudes toward safe use of IV contrast media in medical imaging regardless of their specialty and experience. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire in selected hospitals at Qassim, Saudi Arabia. The participants were exposed to 30 items to assess their knowledge and attitudes toward safe use of contrast media. The mean percentage scores were correlated with the specialty, level of training, experience, and frequency of contrast study requisition. Results: A total of 227 participants enrolled in the study. Internal medicine and pediatric were the highest specialties among participants (26.4%). Nearly half of participants (40.5%) had more than 10 years of experience in their field. Majority of the participants had insufficient knowledge (85.9%) and negative attitudes (80.2%) toward safe use of contrast media. The results indicate some variations in level of knowledge in between different specialties in favor of internal medicine (p = 0.041), and statistically significant association between the participants’ attitudes and their perception of level of knowledge (p = 0.004). Finally, there is a statistically significant relation between knowledge and attitudes (p< 0.01) with correlation coefficient (0.331) that consider as low. Conclusions: The study confirms overall unsatisfactory knowledge and negative attitudes toward safe use of IV contrast media among clinicians. Such findings might interfere with patient’s safety or postponing necessary study. Improving knowledge on contrast media safety is highly recommended through curricular or non-curricular activities.

TEACHERS PERCEPTION OF CHARACTER EDUCATION INTEGRATION IN LEARNING LANGUAGE

Education in the 21st Century currently requires students to be intelligent and of character. Because of the various demands that teachers must have in order to meet all current learning goals, knowledge and skills, sometimes the teacher forgets to focus on shaping student character. This is reflected in the increasing crime, violations of human rights, legal injustice, and various forms of bad behavior that are increasingly reaching all sectors of life. The teacher has an important role to overcome these problems. Based on this background, this study aims to determine teacher perceptions regarding the formation of student characters. This research is a descriptive study with a questionnaire collection technique. The instrument used was a questionnaire sheet. The questionnaire was developed via Google form and distributed online through social media whatsup on the group discussion group of English subjects in West Sumatra. The number of respondents who filled out the questionnaire was 62 teachers. The results show that for now some teachers have integrated the strengthening of student character through intracuricular, extracurricular, and non-curricular activities.

Exploring interprofessional collaboration and attitudes of health sciences librarians.

Objective:This study assessed health sciences librarians' attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration using the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) and gathered information on their involvement with interprofessional activities.Methods:The authors sent a survey to librarians in the Medical Library Association's (MLA's) Interprofessional Education Special Interest Group and Research Section consisting of the IEPS and questions about their prior and current experiences with interprofessional practice and education (IPE). We compared mean IEPS scores between each MLA group and several other demographic factors to assess differences in attitudes. We also compared librarians' IEPS scores with those of previously published health professional students' IEPS scores and thematically analyzed two open-ended questions.Results:Health sciences librarians' scores on the IEPS indicated positive attitudes toward IPE. There were no statistically significant differences between any group. Health sciences librarians' mean IEPS score was similar to the mean score of health professions students from a prior study. The most commonly reported interprofessional activity was teaching or facilitating learning activities for health professions students; fewer served on committees or engaged in non-curricular activities such as grand rounds and book clubs.Conclusion:Health sciences librarians in this study reported positive attitudes toward IPE, in line with the majority of other previously studied health professionals. Years of experience, previous health professional careers, and experience supporting IPE as a librarian had little bearing on the responses to the survey. This suggests that health sciences librarians have positive attitudes toward IPE, regardless of whether they directly support IPE programs or participate in interprofessional activities.
