COVID-19 prevention education using interactive comic and animated videos on the health literacy of school-aged children: Implications for healthcare policy and management

Background: Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the proliferation of fake news and an infodemic has highlighted the necessity to enhance health literacy, particularly among school-aged children in the concrete operational phase of cognitive development. However, current health literacy studies predominantly focus on the adult population and overlook COVID-19 prevention protocols. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of COVID-19 prevention education utilizing interactive comic and animated videos on the health literacy of school-aged children in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Methods: The study employed a quasi-experimental research design with pretest-posttest nonequivalent control groups conducted from July to November 2021. Non-random sampling was utilized to select elementary schools and students, resulting in seventy-eight respondents. Health literacy was assessed using the modified 22-item Indonesian version of the Health Literacy Scale of COVID-19. Data analysis employed the Wilcoxon test. Results: Significant improvements in children’s health literacy were evident within the intervention group from pretest to posttest (p = 0.046, p <0.05). Conversely, no significant change was observed within the control group post-intervention. Furthermore, comparable pre-intervention health literacy levels were noted across both groups, with a modest increase post-intervention, suggesting the intervention’s potential to enhance health literacy, albeit to a limited extent. Conclusion: The research highlights the significance of focused health education for school children, particularly in preventing COVID-19. Incorporating interactive media such as animated videos and comics in school programs can improve health literacy. Policymakers need to invest in creating and sharing engaging health education materials working with schools, communities, and parents. Moreover, integrating artificial intelligence-driven personalized learning platforms may be possible to enhance information delivery, enabling children to confidently address health issues in the digital era. These findings may also guide post-pandemic health education approaches, ensuring children are informed and ready for future health challenges.

Perceptions and views of key implementers on the implementation of the health-promoting school programme in the City of Tshwane, South Africa.

The health-promoting school programme has been associated with numerous benefits for school communities where it is well implemented. In Tshwane, the implementation processes have not been evaluated. A qualitative research approach based on grounded theory was used to investigate the experiences of 27 health-promoting school programme implementers across Tshwane. Data were collected through a combination of methods, including semi-structured interviews with principals (n=6), educators (n=10) and school governing body members (n=4), one focus group discussion with health promoters (n=7), field notes from school observations and memos. Implementation fidelity was weak in the City of Tshwane, as a result of poor training of implementers, poor leadership and collaboration, weak accountability structures, and lack of resources and communication. A grounded theory was developed which showed that schools needed guidance and accountability to properly implement the programme. The theory offers a framework that could be used to improve implementation and evaluation outcomes. Implementers were keen on improving the lives of learners - health-wise and academically. With proper guidance, support and accountability measures by government at district and provincial level, implementation of the programme is feasible in the City of Tshwane.

Environmental Management in SD Alam Al Fath’s Bilingual Program: A Case Study

In the modern era, bilingual competencies not only enhance job opportunities and international collaboration but are also critical for effective environmental management in educational programs. Thus, environmental management of bilingual programs must be thoroughly examined and well-implemented. This article analyzes the policies and implementation of environmental management, along with influencing factors, at SD Alam Al Fath in Jambi City. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method developed from an interpretive paradigm. Through interviews, observations, documentation, and interactive analysis using Miles Huberman's approach, it is concluded that the environmental management of the bilingual program at SD Alam Al Fath in Jambi City is implemented through a well-structured series of daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly activities. There are five main supporting factors for these activities and three hindering factors: time constraints in the school environment, the lack of some supporting facilities, and various levels of language proficiency. This study suggests that student categorization can improve the effectiveness of bilingual programs in schools and similar programs elsewhere. However, if there is no possibility, inductive and expository strategies with direct and cooperative learning approaches could be preferred to improve the Arabic and English language proficiency of heterogeneous learners.

The Role of School Health Promotion in Students' Dietary Intake during School Hours: A Qualitative Comparative Analysis.

Many children in the Netherlands do not adhere to dietary guidelines. Therefore, the Healthy School (HS) program stimulates healthier dietary intake of students through schools. However, evaluating the effectiveness of school health promotion in improving dietary intake is challenging due to the influence of contextual factors. Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) considers these contextual factors. Therefore, we performed a QCA to examine which (combinations of) contextual factors contribute to the healthier dietary intake of students during school hours in primary schools (approximate age range children 4-12 years) and secondary schools (age range 12-18 years) when implementing the HS program for nutrition. Data were collected mainly through interviewing school staff and a school-level questionnaire in fifteen primary schools and twelve secondary schools. We included five factors for primary schools: implementation of the HS program for nutrition, degree of implementation, socioeconomic status, parental support, and student support. For secondary schools, we included school environment instead of parental and student support. For primary schools, the best results were obtained if the HS program for nutrition was implemented in high socioeconomic status schools with a combination of high implementation, parental support, and student support. Findings indicate that if secondary schools have an impeding environment and low socioeconomic status, implementation of the HS program for nutrition can result in healthier dietary intake.

Student choice and barriers to physical activity in Latino boys in the REACH after-school program

ABSTRACT Background After-school programs (ASP) provide safe and enjoyable setting for youth to participate in sports and physical activities (PA). The flexibility in the structure of ASPs can facilitate non-traditional approaches to teaching PA which consider the context of the community, students’ backgrounds, and focuses on positive youth development. REACH takes a non-traditional approach that aims to provide youth in under-resourced communities with a safe space for PA and learning through a sport-centered curriculum. Purpose The objective was to highlight the perspectives of Latino boys regarding their lived experiences in an after-school soccer and literacy program in a diverse urban school. The research questions were: (a) what are the lived experiences of young boys in a year-long after-school program in a diverse urban setting? (b) What opportunities did REACH provide that helped the young boys negotiate barriers to being physically active? Method Twenty-three Latino boys participated in the REACH after-school sessions over a school year. Four pre-service teachers facilitated soccer sessions at REACH. Data were collected through boys’ weekly journals across 28 weeks and interviews with ten boys at the end of the year. Coaches’ reflexive journals were used to triangulate the data. Data were independently coded using constant comparison and analyzed following a collaborative qualitative analysis procedure. Trustworthiness included triangulation of data, negative cases checks, multiple coders, and peer-debriefing. Results The results presented in this article are part of a larger year-long mixed-methods curriculum intervention. Two themes are presented to represent the perspectives of the boys in participating in REACH. In the first theme, we discuss student choice that was expressed in the way youth chose to participate in REACH and engage in PA during out-of-school hours. The second theme presents the students’ identifying the barriers they face to being physically active and the ways REACH provided a space for them to reflect on those barriers. Discussion Students’ choice was expressed in participants’ engagement in physical activities and sports in and outside of REACH and as a fundamental aspect that enhanced enjoyment in the program. Thus, participating in the program led students to enhance their physical activity enjoyment in and out of the program as well as learn about life skills through sport. With a focus on positive youth development, discussions and journaling in REACH encouraged the boys to reflect on life skills that focused on character and the development of positive relationships. Participants described varied barriers they faced to being physically active in and out of schools. REACH provided a safe space where participants could talk about and develop awareness about aspects of their community such as violence. Conclusion REACH provided a safe space for students to be active, learn sports skills, and engage in interest-based activities. The safe space provided in REACH also encouraged Latino boys to reflect on the barriers to being physically active outside of the program with the intent of possibly transferring what was learned in the program to their lives. Having a choice was a fundamental aspect to enhancing the boys’ enjoyment in REACH.

What are the experiences of medical students and their trainers regarding undergraduate training in primary health care at four South African medical schools? A qualitative study.

In 1978, the World Health Organization (WHO) adopted primary health care (PHC) as the most effective strategy to meet the healthcare needs of communities. This raises the question as to the extent and nature of the training that undergraduate (UG) medical students receive in medical schools regarding PHC, following this statement. The study aim was to explore the experiences of UG medical students and their trainers regarding training in PHC in their institutions. A qualitative study was conducted among UG medical students (MBChB 4-6) and their trainers at four conveniently selected South African medical schools. A total of 16 focus group discussions (FGDs) and 27 in-depth interviews were conducted among students and their trainers, respectively. The MAXQDA 2020 (Analytics Pro) software program was used to arrange the data, resulting in 2,179 data segments, from which categories, sub-themes and themes were derived. Both the UG medical students and their trainers regarded PHC as mainly an approach to health rather than a level of care. Students were trained by specialists and generalists, received training in the undifferentiated patient, coordinated, comprehensive and continuity of care. The training in tertiary centers, conducted mainly by specialists, the implicitness of the training and the inadequacy of trainers at the PHC settings presented challenges. Students and their trainers experienced UG student training in PHC in line with the internationally recognized principles on the subject. The view by students and their trainers that PHC is an approach rather than a level of care enhanced its training across disciplines. The implicitness of the training and the tertiary learning platforms were the main challenges experienced. For optimum PHC training, more time should be dedicated to distributed training platforms with supportive specialist outreach programs in the South African medical schools.

The Implementation of the Green School Model in Shaping Sustainable Lifestyles

The problem with the green school program implemented in schools is that it has not yet been integrated into the curriculum or teaching materials, resulting in its limited impact on students. Teachers often feel concerned about addressing waste issues, maintaining school cleanliness, and selecting beneficial plants for the school, as they are the spearhead of the green school initiative. This research is qualitative with a case study strategy, this training employs lectures, discussions, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The initial evaluation results indicate a low level of understanding among teachers and students regarding their roles and responsibilities in supporting the green school initiative. This lack of understanding stems from the belief among teachers and students that waste management and school environment maintenance are the responsibilities of the principal and the government. After receiving training and undergoing evaluation, both teachers and students began to understand the roles and functions they could play in helping the school implement the green school initiative. Their enthusiasm for the training resulted in a high level of understanding of their roles in carrying out the green school program at SMP AMKUR Bengkayang, Bengkayang Regency.

The impact of migration on linguistic and cultural identity: A case study of the Balik tribe

The Balik community is the indigenous population residing in the Nusantara Capital, located in the Sepaku District, North Penajam Paser Regency, East Kalimantan Province. The Balik community has a distinct cultural identity that signifies their identity as members of the Balik ethnic group, one of which is the Balik language. This study investigates the impact of migration on the linguistic and cultural identity of the Balik ethnic group residing in the Nusantara Capital, primarily focusing on the gradual decline of the use of the Balik language and its implications for cultural preservation. It employed a qualitative research approach with a case study design. Data were collected through interviews and participant observation. The analysis of the data involved techniques such as data condensation, data display, and conclusion. The case study findings indicate that the Balik ethnic community tends to be reluctant to use the Balik language in daily communication, both within the household and in the Balik community. Several factors contribute to this phenomenon, including the Balik ethnic community’s preference and greater comfort in using the Indonesian language, a lack of appreciation for the Balik language, and intensive interaction with migrants over a prolonged period. This research highlights the need for the preservation of the Balik language and culture, which is a vital component of Balik cultural identity. The implications of these findings include the necessity for language education programmes in schools, the increased cultural events promoting the use of the Balik language, and awareness campaigns to increase appreciation for regional languages. These practical steps are expected to promote the preservation of the Balik language and cultural identity, while enriching Indonesia’s national cultural diversity amidst the increasing migration and urbanisation in the Nusantara Capital. This study significantly contributes to the social and cultural planning and development in the Nusantara Capital and enriches the academic discourse on migration, cultural identity, and language preservation.

Can mothers' time preferences predict their children's educational outcomes?

AbstractThis paper studies parents' time preferences and adolescents' future educational outcomes. We combine time preference data on adolescents and mothers, measured in 1966 and 1968, with register data on education and labor outcomes up to 2015. Results show that children of patient mothers have higher grades, are more likely to be enrolled in academic elementary school tracks, and are more likely to attain post‐secondary education. However, the mother's time preferences are not significantly associated with the adolescent's choice of upper secondary school program or completion. The unique Swedish data also allow us to shed some light on potential mechanisms.

Evaluating the Special Education Professional Development Program Based on the Council of Exceptional Children’s Advanced Preparation Standards: A Mixed-Method Inquiry

A national call to promote the capability of the educational system to meet the development and job market demands initiated the development of the Special Education Higher Diploma Program (SEHDP) to create robust special education (SE) school programs. A concurrent explanatory mixed-method approach was employed. A web-based survey based on the Council of Exceptional Children (CEC)’s advanced preparation standards (2015) was sent to 561 Special Education Teachers (SETs) who were registered in the SEHDP. One hundred-and-fifty-six SETs responded to the survey (27%). Differences among participants’ responses based on gender, geographical region, educational qualifications, disability programs, and years of experience were examined. Furthermore, 10 interviews were held with SETs to explore their perspectives regarding the SEHDP strengths and challenges they encountered. Data were analyzed using descriptive and thematic analyses. The study found a consistently high rating of the seven CEC standards with an overall mean of 4.190. Statistically significant differences in terms of gender, educational qualifications, and years of experience were identified. SETs’ overall perspectives about the program were positive, indicating the program’s impact on the knowledge and skills they gained, which aligned with other studies, along with the program’s challenges and suggestions. Study limitations and implications for practice were included.
