Analisis Kemampuan Anak dalam Berbicara Menggunakan Metode Bercerita di TKIT Generasi Rabbani Kota Bengkulu

One of the first potentials that must be optimized in early childhood is the speaking aspect. However, in learning there is still a lack of children's ability to speak, especially to express, convey and communicate thoughts, and also the pronunciation of words is unclear. So children lack the courage to make their voices heard when telling stories. In this case it is also caused by the teacher's use of learning methods that are less attractive. The aim of this research was to see the influence of the storytelling method on children's speech development at TKIT Generasi Rabbani, Bengkulu City. The method used in this research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The research implementation time is approximately one month, namely March 25 to April 29 2024. The research techniques used are interview techniques and observations of students. The results of the research show that the storytelling method has a great influence on children's speaking abilities and can increase children's self-confidence.

How to auscultate for heart sounds in infants and children.

This article provides an introduction to performing cardiac auscultation in infants and children aged 0-16 years, with the aim of improving children's nurses' knowledge and confidence in this procedure. Nurses wishing to develop competence in cardiac auscultation can use this article as a guide to complement supervised practical experience; however, it is not intended to determine an individual's competence. • Cardiac auscultation is a component of a structured cardiac assessment rather than a standalone tool. • It is important to auscultate all four main heart valve areas, listening for normal heart sounds and any additional sounds. • Several differences should be considered when auscultating heart sounds in infants and children compared with adults, including heart rate ranges and the potential need to use distraction techniques for those who are distressed. REFLECTIVE ACTIVITY: 'How to' articles can help to update your practice and ensure it remains evidence based. Apply this article to your practice. Reflect on and write a short account of: • How you think this article might help improve your practice when undertaking cardiac auscultation in infants and children. • How you could use this information to develop your own knowledge and skills before educating others on the appropriate technique and evidence base behind auscultating heart sounds in infants and children.

Do Confidence Ratings Reactively Modify Children's Academic Assessment Performance? Negative Answer from a Three-Year Longitudinal Study.

The reactivity effect of metacognitive judgments on first-order task performance has received increased research attention. Previous studies showed that soliciting retrospective confidence ratings (CRs) reactively enhances task performance itself, such as performance in decision making and reasoning tasks, especially for those with high self-confidence. It remains unknown whether CRs can improve students' academic assessment performance in real educational settings. The current study recruited 795 fourth-grade elementary school children to explore if making CRs reactively affects students' academic assessment performance in two main subjects (i.e., Chinese Language and Mathematics). The data were collected across six waves with half-year intervals. From Wave 2, children either provided (CR group) or did not provide CRs (no-CR group) when completing standardized academic assessments. The results showed Bayesian evidence supporting the claim that making CRs does not influence children's academic assessment performance (both the average performance across waves 2-6 and the performance in each wave) in both subjects. Furthermore, children's self-confidence did not moderate the reactive influence of CRs. The results from multilevel regression analyses re-confirmed the above conclusions. Possible explanations for the absence of the reactivity effect of CRs on children's academic assessment performance are discussed.

Reflector variables in augmented reality lineups: Assessing eyewitness identification reliability in children and adults with confidence, response time, and proximity to the lineup.

Attending to the behaviors of eyewitnesses at police lineups could help to determine whether an eyewitness identification is accurate or mistaken. Eyewitness identification decision processes were explored using augmented reality holograms. Children (n = 143; Mage = 10.79, SD = 1.12 years) and adults (n = 152; Mage = 22.12, SD = 7.47 years) viewed staged crime videos and made identification decisions from sequential lineups. The lineups were presented in augmented reality. Children were less accurate than adults on the lineup task. For adults, fast response times and high post-identification confidence ratings were both reflective of identification accuracy. Fast response times were also reflective of accuracy for children; however, children's confidence ratings did not reflect the likely accuracy of their identifications. A new additional measure, the witness' proximity to the augmented reality lineup, revealed that children who made mistaken identifications moved closer to the lineup than children who correctly identified the person from the crime video. Adults who moved any distance towards the lineup were less accurate than adults who did not move at all, but beyond that, adults' proximity to the lineup was not reflective of accuracy. The findings give further evidence that behavioral indicators of deliberation and information-seeking by eyewitnesses are signals of low lineup identification reliability. The findings also suggest that when assessing the reliability of children's lineup identifications, behavioral measures are more useful than metacognitive reports.

Reframing Confidence Instructions to Child Eyewitness Reduces Overconfidence but Does Not Improve Confidence–Accuracy Calibration

ABSTRACTChildren are well‐documented to exhibit poor confidence–accuracy calibration on lineup identification tasks. Children tend to report overconfidence in their (often inaccurate) lineup identification decisions. This research explored the extent to which school‐aged children's (N = 142; 6‐ to 8‐year‐old) confidence reports are implicitly driven by perceived social pressure to provide a specific confidence rating. Children were randomly assigned to two different confidence instruction conditions: the neutral (n = 69) or the reframed conditions (n = 73). The reframed instructions encouraged honesty and instructed children to ignore perceived pressure when reporting confidence. Results revealed that the reframed instructions resulted in more conservative confidence judgments; however, this shift did not translate into those confidence ratings better reflecting children's identification accuracy. Overall, these findings provide evidence that, while external or social factors play a contributing role, other aspects of development are likely contributing more to the poor confidence–accuracy calibration observed with child eyewitnesses.

Relationship between parental role and gadget addiction in early childhood

According to Handrianto (2013) the use of gadgets in children has positive and negative impacts, as well as in early childhood. The positive impacts of using gadgets on children include developing imagination, training children's intelligence, increasing children's self-confidence, developing reading, mathematics and problem solving skills. Meanwhile, the negative impacts of using gadgets are reducing concentration in studying, laziness in writing and reading, decreased social skills, addiction, can cause health problems, hinder children's cognitive development, hinder language skills and affect children's behavior.Parents are expected to have a big role in preventing the negative impact of gadget use in early childhood. For this reason, parents need to be given socialization about the role of parents in preventing early childhood addiction to gadgets. This research has two objectives, firstly to find out the positive relationship between the role of parents and gadget addiction in older people and secondly to find out the negative relationship between the role of parents and gadget addiction in young children.The research method used is quantitative research using Spearman Rank Correlation Analysis from the results of a questionnaire on the role of parents and parents' perceptions about gadget addiction in early childhood. Parents were divided into two groups, 1 group that was not given socialization and 1 group of parents who were given socialization. Both groups were given a pre-test and post-test. This research was carried out on TKIT Taamasa parents who were selected using a purposive sampling technique.Based on research conducted on TKIT Taamasa parents, the Spearman Rank correlation coefficient test results obtained from the pre-test results in the control group were -0.449 (negative). Likewise, the results of the correlation coefficient test for the control group post test were -0.389 (negative), the experimental group pre test results -0.114 (negative) and the experimental group post test -0.141 (negative). This shows that there is a negative relationship between the role of parents and gadget addiction in early childhood. The higher the role of parents, the lower the gadget addiction in young children. The negative coefficient value also proves that there is no positive relationship between the role of parents and gadget addiction in early childhood.Based on the research results, it was found that there was a negative relationship between the role of TKIT Taamasa parents and gadget addiction in early childhood in the group of parents who were given socialization and who were not given socialization regarding the role of parents in gadget addiction in early childhood. The higher the role of parents, the lower the addiction to gadgets in early childhood. Thus, researchers suggest that the role of people needs to be increased to prevent early childhood addiction to gadgets.

Children With Cerebral Palsy's Experiences With Adaptive Climbing: A Qualitative Study on Parents' Perspectives.

Interest in adaptive sports for children with cerebral palsy (CP) is growing, but current evidence on the benefits and indications for one sport, adaptive climbing, is limited. We sought to describe perceived changes observed by parents of children with CP who participated in adaptive climbing. Parents whose children with CP participated in 5 or more adaptive climbing sessions were eligible to participate and were emailed a recruitment letter and flyer. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, using a moderator guide. Interviews were transcribed and content analyzed, with data grouped into concepts, categories, and themes until data saturation. Ten parents (9 mothers, 1 father) of 10 children with CP (5 girls, 5 boys; ages 7 to 19 years) were interviewed for 15 to 45 minutes each, yielding 4 themes. First, parents perceived that adaptive climbing challenged the children physically (in reach, balance, strength, and head/neck and lower limb motion); second, that it sharpened children's cognitive skills (in focus, problem-solving, and strategic thinking); third, that it raised children's confidence (socially, physically, and emotionally); and fourth, that it expanded children's sense of what they could do (in mastering a challenge, claiming an athletic identity, and participating in a sport like their peers). In this qualitative study, parents described physical, cognitive, and psychosocial benefits of adaptive climbing for their children with CP. These descriptions can be used to inform future studies of children with CP who participate in adaptive climbing.
