Using Support Vector Machines for Predicting and Mitigating Stunting in Early Childhood Education in Rural Semarang

In 2030, 70% of Indonesia's population will be of productive age (15-64 years), which is a demographic bonus. However, this potential is threatened by the high rate of stunting in children, which threatens future workforce productivity. Early identification of stunting risk is essential for timely intervention. This study develops a stunting prediction model using machine learning with data from early childhood education institutions in rural Semarang. The model used is a Support Vector Machine (SVM) implemented through the RapidMiner framework. The SVM model achieved an accuracy of 97.56%, a precision of 98.97%, a recall of 97.37%, and an AUC of 0.997. The results of the SVM model highlight the importance of physical motor skills and artistic development.

Analisis Perkembangan Fisik Motorik Anak Melalui Kegiatan Bermain

Real work education (KKN) is an education in the form of community service. In this service, students apply the theories they have after studying for several semesters into a real form of community service. In this service, students carry out several activities that develop children's physical motor skills. Physical development is the growth or changes experienced in a person's body which are clearly visible from changes in the shape and size of a person's body. Motor development is controlling the development of body movements through coordinated activity of muscles, nerves and nerve centers. Therefore, a child's physical motoric development is a process that the child goes through regarding the growth and development that occurs in the child. The aim of this research is to find out the extent of children's physical motor development through real work lecture activities.

Media Magic Box: Optimization of the Ability to Recognize Letters in Early Children

The phenomenon of improving the ability to recognize letters in early childhood in schools has been implemented well, but the learning media is less varied in learning to introduce letters. This research method uses classroom action research (PTK) using the Kemmis and MC Taggart models. The research involved 1 experienced teacher and 12 students. To see the development of the ability to recognize letters in young children, data was collected using in-depth observations of the learning process carried out by the teacher in 8 meetings in 2 cycles, with a duration of 90 minutes for each observation (during the learning process). Data collection techniques were carried out using observations with students in RA at-taqwa group B, totaling 12 children, interviews with 1 class teacher and documentation. The research results show that the ability to recognize letters in early childhood generally develops very well (BSB) through magic box media. This development can be seen gradually in cycle I and cycle II (16.6% in cycle I and 83.3% in cycle II). The development of the ability to recognize letters in early childhood in this study is assumed to be successful because it has reached a success standard of above 75%. So this game has an important role in the development of language, cognitive, physical motor skills, religious and moral values and social emotional development.

Static and Dynamic Balance Indices among Kindergarten Children: A Short-Term Intervention Program during COVID-19 Lockdowns.

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak had a negative impact on kindergarten activities. These young children, who had been compelled to stay home during lockdowns, suffered a lack of movement and loss of mobility, resulting in deteriorated physical motor skills. Lack of sufficient motor experience in early childhood can impair children’s motor and cognitive development. Balance skills are fundamental to all other motor abilities, from the most basic movements to the most complex motor skills. The purpose of this study was to implement a short-term physical activity program, which may have a direct effect on children’s fundamental balance ability. Ninety-six kindergarten children (45 boys and 51 girls), aged 4–6 years, participated in the study. Data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA and interaction analyses. The results suggest that short, focused, and dedicated balance training programs have a beneficial influence on the static balance of preschoolers and can mitigate some of the negative physical outcomes of lockdowns. In conclusion, this study indicates that a short-term physical training program had a positive effect on the motor abilities of preschoolers after COVID-19-related lockdowns. More research is needed in order to fully understand the complete impact of the worldwide health crisis and the best ways in which to address it.
