Development of Self and Career-Understanding Gamification-Assisted Media for Students with Disabilities

The objective of this study is to develop a career advice platform for Children with Special Needs (CSN) through the use of gamification-assisted education. The study suggests that inclusive vocational schools in Surabaya and Sidoarjo, East Java, should create an Android application called GOPEKA in response to the dearth of structured employment services and specialized resources for CSN. For CSN, who have a predisposition for studying via Android applications, the program is both user-friendly and captivating. The ADDIE paradigm, which comprises Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation, was specifically applied in our Research and Development (R&D) endeavors. An essential component of career coaching for CSN, gamification-assisted media emerged from an initial investigation that included a literature review and conversations with school counsellors. Utilizing the Career Information Processing and Career Diamond theories as core concepts and incorporating gamification features (components, mechanics, dynamics) were also highlighted in the literature review. A GOPEKA application prototype was developed during the design and development process. Its interface design and button performance were enhanced as a result of a validation procedure conducted by professionals and experts. Seven secondary schools, including a special needs high school in Surabaya and Sidoarjo, participated in an evaluation of the app's efficacy with 82 disabled students from vocational high schools. The average total career planning scores improved significantly from the pre-test to the post-test subsequent to utilizing the GOPEKA application, as determined by the Wilcoxon test on non-normal data distribution. The study's findings indicate that the GOPEKA application's second iteration is efficacious and appropriate for implementation with CSN, subsequent to its validation and feasibility assessments. In addition, the article proposes avenues for further research and addresses the constraints associated with the implementation of gamification in product development.

Evaluating a school-based body image lesson in Indonesia: A randomised controlled trial

Negative body image is a common public health concern among adolescents, globally. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness, implementation fidelity, and acceptability of a single session, school-based universal body image intervention in Indonesia. A total of 1926 adolescents (59.4 % girls) and 12 school guidance counsellors (lesson facilitators) from nine state junior secondary schools in Surabaya, East Java took part in a two-arm open parallel cluster randomised controlled trial. In response to the changing circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, half of the lessons were conducted in person and half were delivered online. Results showed that the lesson did not significantly improve adolescent body image or secondary outcomes relative to the control, though there was no evidence of harm. There were no substantive findings regarding intervention effectiveness by gender. The mode of intervention delivery (online vs. in-person) did not significantly influence the main findings. Implementation fidelity varied widely, and the lesson content and pedagogy were largely acceptable, though there was a strong preference for in-person lesson delivery. Findings have implications for researchers aiming to improve adolescent body image in low- and middle-income countries. Lessons learned can inform future school-based efforts to support adolescent body image.

An Important Strategy to Improve Adolescent Health Literacy: COVID-19 Modules in High School in Indonesia.

During the second coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) surge, cases increased sharply due to low awareness and compliance with measures to limit disease spread. Health literacy (HL) is an important component of public health initiatives, and schools are potential sources of health education to increase HL via the presentation of COVID-19 educational modules. This cross-sectional study involved an online questionnaire administered to students from 5 high schools in Surabaya and Sidoarjo, Indonesia, 6-7 weeks after the start of government-issued directives restricting public gatherings. We collected data on each respondent's age, gender, parental education, and socioeconomic variables. HL was determined by the Health Literacy Measure for Adolescents. We additionally measured their attitudes and behaviors related to preventing the spread of COVID-19. The students were asked if they watched the COVID-19 module at school, their feelings about vaccination, and preferred online sources of COVID-19-related information. Most of the 432 respondents had viewed COVID-19 modules at school. Module exposure was associated with significantly higher total and domain-specific HL and more positive attitudes toward government-issued COVID-19 restrictions on travel and public gatherings (p<0.05). However, behaviors to prevent COVID-19 spread and vaccine acceptance were not associated with module exposure. Most students chose social media as their source of COVID-19-related information. Schools can provide information to increase adolescents' HL and the public's support for health initiatives to prevent or limit the spread of COVID-19.

Implementation of Gender and Ecology Mainstreaming Policies at Sekolah Penggerak and Eco Green Schools in Surabaya: Ecofeminism Study

This research aims to discuss the implementation of gender and ecology mainstreaming policies in Sekolah penggerak in elementary schools and eco-green schools in Surabaya through an ecofeminist approach.

The research results show that schools with the Adiwiyata or similar labels can better implement ecological awareness programs such as green and eco-green schools. They adopt programs such as hydroponics, recycling, and zero-waste healthy canteens and integrate them into the curriculum with relevant themes. Apart from that, these schools also apply the principles of gender-oriented, child-friendly schools. This research examines how gender mainstreaming and ecology are practised in schools. Both in the form of policies, learning design and related infrastructure. The results of this research illustrate that although there has been progress in implementing gender mainstreaming and ecology policies in schools, further efforts are still needed to increase students' understanding and awareness of these issues. In some aspects, gender and ecological approaches still seem symbolic and insubstantial.

Advantageous Online Learning During Covid-19 Pandemic: Why Parents Disbelieve?

Parents' expectations for children's educational attainment must be restrained by Covid-19 in 2020. In Indonesia, the virus has interfered with all levels of school to reform the mode of learning. An immediate decision made by the Ministry of Education was to implement full online learning. This situation uncovers obstacles that children and parents undergo. Even though the advantages of the policies have been perceived and published, the stakeholders need to express the problems too. This paper will exhibit parents’ disbelief toward online learning. The survey using questionnaire had been administered to 200 parents of elementary level students of Muhammadiyah Schools in Surabaya, Indonesia. The results show parents’ disbelief issues. Online learning is believed as burdensome to parents and children. It is also ineffective in accommodating competencies such as academic, affective, spiritual competencies, as well as talents and interests.
