The 'Checklist of Leisure, Interests and Participation': A contemporary leisure checklist.

The Modified Interest Checklist (MIC) is a tool used by therapists to understand past and present occupational engagement, however, is now outdated and lacks contemporary occupations. The aim of this study was to develop an updated valid and reliable checklist tool inclusive of contemporary leisure activities for clinical practice. The study consisted of four phases, including feedback in relation to the MIC, two phases of development of an updated tool, and occupational therapists' opinions on the tool. There was no consumer or community involvement in the development of this manuscript. More than 50% of participants in phases I and II expressed a need for a contemporary leisure inventory with specific detail to the inclusion of modern activities such as video games. An updated tool was developed, the 'Checklist of Leisure, Interests and Participation' (CLIP). The CLIP presents as a valid and reliable option for leisure profile assessment. Findings suggest that this tool could be used for assessments within mental and physical health services. The Modified Interest Checklist (MIC) is a commonly used occupational therapy tool used to assess people's leisure and interests. The tool was created in 1982 and is outdated for modern activities that people like to do in their spare time. This tool is typically used to understand what activities people like, dislike, and would like to do. This study aimed to develop and update the tool that includes contemporary activities such as social media and video games. The study included four online surveys in total. The first survey explored participants views of whether the MIC included modern activities that people like to do. A second survey was developed with a new tool called the Checklist of Leisure, Interests and Participation (CLIP) and asked people for feedback. More than 50% of the respondents from survey one and two indicated a need for an updated tool. A third survey gained further feedback on the CLIP. The final survey explored occupational therapists' perspective on whether the tool could be used with patients. The tool was viewed as suitable for patient use in Australian by occupational therapist and would be beneficial to understand people's leisure interests. This tool could be used by occupational therapists who work with adults in a range of settings such as mental and physical health settings. The surveys were collected online through social media, which could limit the variety of interests from the people who responded to the survey. This study provides information on how people like to spend their time. Further research is required to understand how occupational therapists can use this tool in more practice settings.

Engaging With a Community of Practice in Dementia: Impacts on Skills, Knowledge, Networks and Accessing Support.

To deliver implementable, meaningful research and advance knowledge, different stakeholders need to be brought together regularly via a suitable platform or community of practice. The Liverpool Dementia & Ageing Research Forum, set up in 2019, is a public/professional community of practice, providing in-person and remote events and activities to connect people living with dementia, unpaid carers, health and social care professionals, Third Sector representatives and commissioners. The aim of this study was to qualitatively explore the experiences and impacts of engaging with Forum events by different stakeholders. Attendees of any Forum events were eligible to take part. We conducted remote semi-structured interviews about the experiences and impacts of engaging with the Forum between November 2023 and April 2024. Anonymised transcripts were coded by three research team members, including a trained public advisor (unpaid carer), using inductive thematic analysis. Seventeen attendees participated in the study. These included people living with dementia, unpaid carers, Third Sector representatives, academics and health and social care providers. Four overarching themes were identified in the data: facilitated networking within and outside of personal expertise, improved knowledge and capacity, empowerment by having one's voice heard and diversity in stakeholders but not the background. The Forum events were utilised on a drop- in and -out basis for most attendees, often picking events that were of immediate interest to them, whilst some attended almost all events. Engaging with the Forum was found to strongly facilitate increased networking and building relationships, especially outside of stakeholder background, whilst diversity in backgrounds of attendees, such as ethnic diversity, was lacking. This Community of Practice has successfully brought together diverse stakeholders to network and expand their relationships, and increased knowledge and capacity in different stakeholder groups. Whilst the Forum was considered inclusive, future outreach work needs to ensure that greater diversity in backgrounds and personal experiences is reflected in attendees, and that a continuous flow of new attendees joins. One unpaid carer was involved as a public advisor and was supported in coding two anonymised transcripts and interpreting the findings. They also helped codesign the semi-structured topic guide.

Pengaruh Organisasi Kemahasiswaan Terhadap Belajar Mahasiswa Difakultas Sains Dan Teknologi

Student activity in organizations plays an important role in developing knowledge and preparing them to enter the world of work. Through organizations, students are accustomed to conveying thoughts and ideas that can increase self-confidence and motivation to learn, which has a positive impact on academic achievement. This research aims to examine the role of student organizations in supporting student abilities, using descriptive methods. The research sample consisted of 10 students from the 2022/2023 information technology study program. The research results show that there is a significant influence between student involvement in student organizations on their learning achievement. Student organizations provide opportunities for students to develop their talents, interests and potential through productive, creative and practical activities carried out on campus, for example extracurricular activities, which in turn increase motivation and academic achievement. In addition, involvement in an organization can shape character, skills, self-confidence, as well as expand knowledge, insight and social networks. This research also reveals that students are involved in organizations not only for existence or popularity, but as a form of self-actualization. Therefore, it is recommended that the campus, such as the Deputy Chair III for Student Affairs and Study Programs, provide further support to encourage student organization activities that can improve student achievement. Overall, this research shows that involvement in student organizations has a significant positive relationship with learning motivation, which influences academic quality and preparation for the world of work.

Impact of hygienic milk production training on knowledge, attitudes and practices of women farmers in the central highlands of Ethiopia

IntroductionFood safety remains a challenge in developing nations, including Ethiopia, where dairy products are known to be contaminated with foodborne pathogens. Limited food safety interventions studies for improving food safety along the food supply chain have been conducted. The objective of this intervention study was to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) of women dairy farmers in the central highlands of Ethiopia by developing and delivering training customized to their education level.MethodsA total of 120 dairy women farmers were recruited from local milk cooperatives and milk collection centers at four study sites. Training materials on clean milk production and hygienic milking practices were developed for an audience that may not be able to read or write. The 3-day curriculum was delivered using theoretical lecturing, video presentation, practical activities, and handouts, and learning was assessed with a questionnaire and checklist.ResultsThe study indicated that women dairy farmers improved their knowledge, attitude, and practices relating to quality milk production. However, milk shade assessments of individual farmers identified many important risk factors for clean milk production that were due to infrastructure issues.DiscussionThe effectiveness of the training materials and approach was supported by the increase in KAPs assessment scores from pre-training to post-training for all study sites. Comparisons of the training outcomes and evaluation results of milk shades were found counterintuitive, which revealed the complexity of food safety interventions. Customized food safety training is effective but should be combined with dairy farming infrastructure improvements to achieve the goal of clean milk production at farm level.

The timing of corrective feedback in second language learning

The timing of corrective feedback (CF), alternatively called feedback timing, refers to the choice of a timepoint for providing corrections on second language (L2) errors or making comments on the appropriacy of L2 learners' verbal or nonverbal behaviors. A typical distinction related to the notion of feedback timing is between immediate and delayed feedback, but what constitutes immediate or delayed has been interpreted and defined in different ways. In one stream of research, immediate feedback is operationalized as feedback provided during a learning task and delayed feedback as feedback provided after a task is completed (Arroyo & Yilmaz, 2018*; Li Zhu & Ellis, 2016a*; Quinn, 2014*). One methodological variation in this distinction is interim feedback, which is provided after the first task is completed and before the second task is started (Li, Li, & Qian, under review). Interim feedback is relevant or possible when multiple tasks are performed. It refers to feedback provided during the interval(s) between tasks. Interim feedback is different from delayed feedback in that the latter refers to feedback provided after the task (if there is only one task) or all tasks (if there are multiple tasks) are completed and there is no further task performance following the feedback session. This way of conceptualizing feedback timing is based on the positioning of feedback during a task cycle, instead of the proximity to errors. Another way to examine feedback timing is to distinguish feedback provided immediately after an error is made and feedback delayed until a later time in the instructional cycle, such as one week later (Lavolette, Polio, & Kahng, 2015*). In this case, both immediate and delayed feedback can occur either during or after the completion of a learning task. A third way is to define feedback timing options in terms of their relation to instruction, namely whether feedback is provided immediately after explicit instruction or at a later stage after learners complete some practice activities (Fu & Li, 2022*). It should be clarified that this way of operationalizing feedback timing is markedly different from that in other studies in that it focuses on feedback's relation to instruction instead of errors. To conclude this section, it is necessary to point out that the conceptualization and operationalization of feedback timing should be reconsidered in L2 research. Feedback timing is not merely a matter of the length of interval or the distance between errors and feedback, and other parameters of the instructional system where errors occur are also involved or relevant, such as the distance between feedback and instruction, the positioning of feedback in a task cycle (such as within, after, or between tasks), and so on. These parameters are important because they contribute to the effectiveness of different timing options. Despite the variation in the operationalization of feedback timing, we argue that it is a unified construct that is theoretically justifiable, empirically examinable, and pedagogically valuable.

Formation of the readiness of future physical education teachers to organize competitive activities in sports games

This article attempts to reveal the content of the formation of readiness of future physical education teachers to organize competitive activities in sports games. Through the analysis of the literature, it was found that the effectiveness of the activities of future physical education teachers is determined by the coherence of team actions in competitions; the trainer-teacher must have high professionalism (high level of knowledge and skills); the preparation of future physical education teachers to organize competitive activities of students should be carried out at the stage of professional training in higher education institutions; the professional training of future physical education teachers should have a systematic and holistic approach. The analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature and practice helped to develop criteria and indicators of the formation of readiness of future physical education teachers to organize competitive activities in sports games. Cognitive (knowledge about the organization of competitive activities in sports games, students' understanding of the importance of the formation of readiness and personal self-determination); emotional-value (a conscious interest of higher education students to be ready to organize competitive sports activities through the establishment of personal self-determination); voluntary impulse (the readiness of students to take responsibility, to act independently during the organization of competitive sports activities despite doubts (completion of an act); activity (the ability of higher education students to overcome challenges in the process of organizing competitive sports activities, the ability to implement ideas into practical sports activities).

Scope of nursing practice in medical-surgical hospitalization and intensive care units.

To analyze the scope of nursing practice in medical-surgical and intensive care units in the Spanish context and its relationship with individual characteristics of nurses and their work environment. A cross-sectional observational study was carried out in 29 medical-surgical hospitalisation units and five intensive care units for adults in the public network of Navarre. The main variable, nurses' scope of practice, was measured using the Spanish version of the D'Amour questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data, with a significance level of 0.05. A total of 310 nurses participated in the study, and the results showed acceptable levels of nursing scope of practice. Age and working in intensive care units were significant factors in identifying differences in nurses' scope of practice activities. The correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant association between age and the likelihood of expressing lower scores in the dimension "Patient- and family-centered care." In contrast, younger nurses exhibited significantly lower scores in the "Quality of care and patient safety" dimension. To address the shortage of nurses in health systems, it is essential to understand the scope of nursing practice. The challenge is not only to increase the number of nurses but also to ensure that they are working in the full range of their professional roles.

The study is dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of I. N. Zhukov.

Concept of Linguistic Personality Conceptosphere

The main feature of modern linguistics is the close study of the language with a person's consciousness, worldview and thought process, as well as with his practical activities. For this reason, the article emphasizes the importance of taking into account, first of all, the main symptoms of the phenomenon of the linguistic personality in the study of the language. In this sense, it is shown that truth is not limited to the perception of being and one's environment. Since a working linguistic person lives in the same world, the language, along with objective reality, is analyzed to determine whether the person himself is a world-recognizing entity. In this regard, it is clear that the issue of language and thinking, which is considered in the context of the cognitive-conceptual orientation of modern linguistics, will become increasingly important. Because the solution to this problem allows us to define the basic laws of the emergence of abstract, abstract concepts that occur in semantic spaces of different languages. Moreover, it is known that a person's knowledge of objective reality is organized in the form of abstract mental structures, concepts that define various spheres of human activity. That is, a person thinks through concepts, comparing them with each other and sometimes combining them to form new concepts in his thinking. Therefore, based on the ideas presented in the scientific linguistic literature, the author understands the concept as a global unit of thought as a structured quantum of knowledge.

The Study of Strengthening Skills in High School Chemistry Micro-Lattice Teaching

At present, many chemistry normal students in China know little about strengthening skills and how to use intensive skills in teaching. However, to be a good chemistry teacher, you must master the strengthening skills. Because the appropriate and reasonable use of strengthening skills in chemistry class can focus students' attention, help students to maintain correct learning behavior, and inhibit or improve bad learning behavior. Chemistry micro-grid teaching is a practical training activity, which can effectively exercise and improve the various teaching skills of chemistry teachers or normal university students. After micro-teaching, normal university students can effectively improve and enhance their own teaching skills in a relatively short period of time. This paper introduces the research status of chemistry micro-lattice teaching and strengthening skills, briefly expounds the related concepts of chemistry micro-lattice teaching and reinforcement skills, and analyzes the individual cases of cultivating strengthening skills through chemistry micro-lattice teaching.

Taking a partnership approach to embed physical activity in local policy and practice: a Bradford District case study

BackgroundSupportive policy is an important component of a whole-systems approach to increasing physical activity and reducing inequalities. There is a growing body of literature surrounding the design and effectiveness of national policy approaches to physical activity, but evidence related to local-level approaches is lacking. The aim of this study was to examine ‘what works’, and identify factors underpinning change, focused on work to embed physical activity in local policy and practice in Bradford, UK.MethodsA mixed-methods case study approach involved collecting data from cross-sectoral stakeholders directly or indirectly engaged in the physical activity agenda in Bradford over a period of three years (2021–2024). Data collection included focus groups, semi-structured interviews, researcher observations of key workshops and meetings, and surveys at two time-points (December 2021 and January 2024). Qualitative data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.ResultsFour themes were identified which embody conditions that appear to be critical for working towards physical activity being embedded in local policy & practice within the Bradford District. These included: collaboration and sector integration, co-productive working, governance and leadership, and cultivating a learning culture. The process of co-producing a district-wide strategy for physical activity was key to facilitating shared ownership of the physical activity agenda across different levels of the system, and for supporting and maintaining cross-sectoral collaboration. On average, survey respondents connected with four more local organisations in relation to the physical activity agenda in January 2024 than in December 2021.ConclusionTaking a partnership approach, and fostering a culture of evidence-informed decision making, is key to embedding physical activity into policy and practice at a local level. Investing time to understand the aims and values of each partner, and potential synergies and tensions between them, can support the development of a positive and productive collaboration and, subsequently, more effective whole-system delivery and population-level increases in physical activity.

Characterizing Home Learning Experiences Current Practices, Challenges and Pathways

This study investigates the different forms of the home-learning environment (HLE) and their impact on children’s academic achievement in North ‘A’ District, Unguja, Zanzibar. The study aims to identify various aspects of the HLE that contribute to student success, including physical space at home for learning, learning resource/learning materials at home, children’s interaction with other groups, children’s practical activities at home learning, and community learning resources. Several questions were asked to the teachers, students and the parents/caregivers. It was proved that the physical space/room, learning materials, and practical activities, were not well observed. The study also proved that most parents do not prepare children’s learning space, and learning materials were not provided to the children. Similarly, the study revealed that parent involvement in children’s academic achievement was weak, so children could not effectively achieve high achievement that while material resources are limited in many homes.

Study on the path of clustering construction of rural primary schools' aesthetic education programs from the perspective of resource integration.

Aesthetic education is an important part of the overall development of students. This study analyzes the number of rural schools and enrollment, number of classes, and number of full-time teachers in those schools from 2013 to 2022, and clarifies the current challenges in aesthetic education in rural elementary schools and the path of quality improvement. It then constructs a curriculum cluster model that shares resources, teachers, management, instructional design, and practical activities, etc. The results find that (1) the number of rural primary schools in 2013-2022 shows a decreasing trend, and in 2022 there was a 45.77% decrease relative to 2013. The number of rural elementary schools in 2022 shows a decreasing trend, and the relative decrease in 2022 compared with 2013 is 45.77%. From 2013 to 2022, the number of elementary schools in rural areas was more than 50% of the total number of elementary schools. Rural elementary schools in China are scattered, the distribution rate of aesthetic education resources is low, and it is difficult to popularize high-quality aesthetic education resources. (2) The number of classes in China's rural elementary schools decreased 30.28% from 1.139 million in 2013 to 788,000 in 2022. The small size of rural schools, small number of teaching classes, and small number of students lead to less investment in resources for schools to offer aesthetic education, and the integration of collective public art courses cannot be realized. (3) Using the model of a "two-dimensional aesthetic education curriculum cluster," we can improve the high-quality development of aesthetic education in rural schools. (4) The design path of the aesthetic education curriculum clusters focuses on the implementation and implantation of teaching objectives, teaching design and teaching process by grade, and links interest activities, nature and social observation activities, etc. Organically with aesthetic education. This study can thereby an effective path for the improvement of the quality of aesthetic education in rural elementary schools and the high-quality development of aesthetic education in rural schools.

Design of a campaign to promote environmental care in the Ana Paez Educational Unit.

Introduction: Environmental pollution in Ecuador seriously affected the quality of life of the population and natural ecosystems. Factors such as industrial activity, intensive agriculture and mining contributed to the deterioration of air, soil and water, also impacting educational institutions. The Ana Paez Educational Unit, located in Latacunga, faced these challenges, evidencing the need to implement an educational campaign that promotes environmental commitment through practical and participatory activities aimed at students, teachers and staff.Methods: The research adopted a critical propositional approach that questioned traditional methods and proposed concrete solutions. A mixed paradigm was used: quantitative, through surveys applied to a sample of students and teachers, and qualitative, to interpret the impacts of pollution. The study was of the applied, documentary and field type, and information was collected through direct observation, literature review and structured questionnaires.Results: The findings revealed a high level of interest of the educational community in the implementation of environmental activities. A total of 66.7% of the respondents supported the implementation of practical projects, highlighting a greater interest in the cultivation of fruit and medicinal plants. In addition, artistic botany was recognized as an educational tool to foster creativity, reduce stress, and develop intellectual and psychomotor skills.Conclusions: The research concluded that the implementation of an innovative environmental campaign in the Ana Paez Educational Unit has the potential to strengthen environmental awareness, develop practical skills and improve community engagement, laying the foundation for sustainable and replicable change in other educational institutions

Transnational learning and teaching activities: Smart Healthcare Engineering.

The new maintenance engineers become self-taught and learn from daily dedication, from solving repetitive problems, from exchanging experiences with a colleague, from reading a recommended book and little else. Their own experience has been the main reference for maintenance professionals who have not given up and have become experts. And within the maintenance activities, sanitary engineering plays a very important role. Through the Smart Healthcare Engineering project we have facilitated a close connection between 3 universities and 3 hospitals from 3 countries (Spain, Turkey and Romania), which benefit from each other's experience, transferring the know-how available in a single country. The study involves 7 students from each university, meaning that 21 students have worked and studied together for 2 weeks in Spain in the field of healthcare engineering. The chosen hospital was Dr. Negrin Hospital from Gran Canaria. Results at the organizational level include the modernization of content and the provision of resources for healthcare engineering training, the introduction of innovative educational concepts in healthcare engineering and the integration of blended learning methodologies in practical teaching and training activities. A tighter connection and transnational collaboration were established between European hospitals and universities in healthcare engineering, together with unrestricted access to routinely updated information. The specific results for each participant indicated their capacity to engage in the intricate processes of repair and maintenance within a practical context, making real-time judgments on-site.

Effectiveness of oral health promotion in children and adolescents through behaviour change interventions: A scoping review.

To explore the interventions for change in oral health behaviour that are effective in improving oral health behaviours in 8 to 18-year-old children during oral health promotion. The Joanna Briggs Institute framework of evidence synthesis for conducting a scoping review was implemented for the methodology. Included studies related to the objective, measured clinical or non-clinical outcomes, were in English, 2011-2023, and were experimental, observational or reviews. PUBMED, Science-Direct, Scopus and Sabinet were systematically searched with predetermined search strings. Studies were selected by appraisal of the title, abstract and full text. Data were extracted using a standardised template and the key questions were addressed via a qualitative analysis. Searches yielded 407 articles from electronic databases. Of these, 290 articles were excluded, and 47 full-text studies were assessed for eligibility, with 23 studies and two systematic reviews finalised for inclusion. In addition, a PEARL search was conducted from the reference lists of other studies. Most studies (91.3%) focused on educating children directly; 8.7% indirectly influenced parents, guardians, and teachers. Interventions focused largely on traditional oral health education presented in diverse forms and via different platforms. Studies differentiated clinical outcomes (indices) from non-clinical outcomes (knowledge, behaviour). All included RCTs were of different quality regarding selection, performance and detection bias. But all studies indicated a low risk of bias in attrition and Reporting bias. Seventeen of the 25 studies (68%) were not based on any behaviour change theory. Oral health interventions based on motivational interviewing and the social cognitive theory have been shown to be to be effective. Interventions could also include practical tooth brushing activities, gamification, audio-visual components, as well as reinforcement and repetition in the longer term. Future oral health promotion in children should be designed to include these elements. There is a need for higher quality studies in this field, with future research being urged to provide detailed intervention descriptions and incorporate longer follow-up periods.
