Adolescents and reproductive health: Promoting healthy habits for reproductive well-being

Abstract. Adolescence is a critical period in humans in terms of physical, psychosocial, cognitive, and emotional development, especially for the reproductive system. Adolescents must be prepared to face reproductive maturation so they need some information to solve the change in their bodies. Conducting health education about reproductive health is very important as an effort to increase knowledge in dealing with puberty. The reproductive health education program for adolescents facing puberty is one solution that can be done to increase adolescents’ knowledge about reproductive health. This activity aims to increase adolescents’ knowledge about health reproductive in adolescence. The method used was a quasi-experiment research design with a group pretest and posttest approach. The population in this program was elementary school students in grades 4 and 5 at SDN Banyuurip Yogyakarta with a total sample of 38 students and a purposive sampling technique with inclusion criteria for children aged 10-14 years. Then, the data was analyzed by using a paired t-test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in students’ knowledge levels before and after the education was implemented. Before the reproductive health education, the respondents' knowledge level was mostly in the less category of 52%, sufficient category of 42%, and good category of 5%. After the reproductive health education was carried out, most of the students had good knowledge of 71%, sufficient knowledge of 29%, and no students had insufficient knowledge. Other results showed the pre-test mean scored 76.58 and post-test mean scored 83.16, median pretest and post-test scored 80 and 90. The results of the paired t-test obtained a p-value of 0.049 <0.005. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is an effect of reproductive health education on Banyuurip elementary school children of Yogyakarta. Conclusion: Reproductive health education is proven to increase students’ knowledge level in dealing with puberty and care for reproductive organs.

Collaborative inpatient and ambulatory care topic discussions in experiential education: An approach to assessing the Pharmacists' patient care process and transitions of care

IntroductionThe Pharmacists' Patient Care Process (PPCP) is woven throughout the doctor of pharmacy program; however, advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) are not structured in a specific order allowing students to apply the PPCP across the care continuum. Two faculty preceptors from two practice sites, inpatient family medicine and ambulatory care, joined to provide twice weekly, preceptor-led collaborative topic discussions to bridge this gap. This paper describes an approach to improve students' knowledge by incorporating progressive cases and assessments highlighting care across the continuum aligned with the PPCP. MethodsPreceptors developed topic discussions, progressive cases, and assessments to emphasize the PPCP and transitions of care (TOC) during month-long APPEs. Students' perceptions were assessed through an anonymous Likert-type item survey. To assess learning, students completed anonymous, preceptor-developed, multiple-choice pre- and post-assessments aligned with the different components of the PPCP and TOC. ResultsIn two academic years (2021−2023), 24 perception surveys were distributed and 21 were received from 19 unique students (87.5%). Compared to pre-implementation surveys, a significant increase was seen in the students strongly agreeing the incorporation of progressive cases improved their ability to apply the PPCP to patient care (48% vs. 76%, P value = .06). Twenty-four pre- and post-assessments (100%) were completed by 22 unique students, showing a statistically significant difference in students' understanding of content (71.8% vs. 81.6%, P value = .02). ConclusionsThe incorporation of collaborative topic discussions for APPE students between inpatient and ambulatory care preceptors increased students' knowledge to apply the PPCP during TOC.

Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) Integrated Case Method-Flipped Classroom: Innovative Instructional Model to Improve Problem-Solving Skill and Learning Outcome of TVET Students

The post-pandemic has affected all educational institutions, including TVET. The situation has shifted fully online learning into a blended one, conducted online through e-learning and onsite through face-to-face learning. In this learning, students must do self-directed learning before coming to the class, known as the flipped classroom method. On the other hand, to trigger their effort to do so, applying the case method is valuable to improve their problem-solving skill. Therefore, the flipped classroom and case method integration needs to be implemented. In the flipped classroom method, students must use CAI media to optimise the learning outcome. This study aims to see the effectiveness of integrating CAI into case method-flipped classrooms in improving the problem-solving skills and learning outcomes of TVET students. This study used a quasi-experiment with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The research instruments were a questionnaire and an achievement test with 62 participants. Based on the results, it was found that there was a significant difference in students’ problem-solving skills and learning outcomes between control and experimental groups. Research findings showed substantial improvements in students’ material understanding and problem-solving skills. Students reported high engagement and satisfaction with the proposed interactive learning model. Thus, it can be concluded that the CAI-integrated Case Method-Flipped Classroom effectively improves TVET students’ problem-solving skills and learning outcomes. The novelty of this research is that it offers an innovation from various learning models in TVET that TVET educators can implement. The model provides time efficiency availability of such a lead-in that bridges the initial material to the primary material. Hence, the investigation results in this study provide a new knowledge reference for the TVET education curriculum.

IMPACT OF SPECIALIZED AND UNSPECIALIZED PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS ON THE SPEED AND ENDURANCE OF 7-9-YEAR-OLD STUDENTS

Reduced motor activity and impaired physical fitness are among the great problems of modern society. Many authors point out that one solution to this problem is creating a lasting interest in motor activity before the age of 10-11 when the child has a natural need for movement. At the same time, in Bulgaria and many other countries, physical education in preschool and primary school age is taken over by teachers who are not specialists in physical education and sports. This study aimed to track changes in acquiring motor abilities such as speed and endurance for pupils in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades, aged 7 to 9 years, with whom specialists with different specializations have worked. The research was carried out with 11 pupils at a primary school. Running 30 m and Shuttle Running 4 x 50 m tests were used. The testing and mathematical-statistical methods (variation analysis and comparative analysis with t-criterion of Student) were used in the study. The analysis showed a significant difference in students’ results between physical education and non-specialist teacher training. Undoubtedly, training by a non-specialist teacher leads to a decrease in the values of the considered indicators in the pupils’ physical fitness.

COMMUNICATION ANNOYANCE AMONG POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS

Communication Annoyance Among Polytechnic Students Hazariah Karsahid1, Faizatul Absharizan binti Abu Bakar2, Aznurullaili Binti Ahmad Sarkawi3 Jabatan Perdagangan, Politeknik Sultan Azlan Shah Behrang Stesyen, 35950 Behrang, Perak Email : ijasahid73@gmail.com ABSTRACT In the day-to-day process, the ability to communicate effectively is crucial. A good student should be willing to examine himself in order to be aware of his level of deprivation and to strive to improve over time. This is because, according to a Malaysian Government study of graduates, around 60,000 graduates have yet to be approved for employment, and one of the causes for this difficulty is graduates' lack of communication skills. As a result, the objectives of this study are to (i) identify the level of difference in students' annoyance, whether caused by verbal or nonverbal communication; (ii) assess the difference in communication irritation between male and female students; and (iii) identify the communication situation in which students are most annoyed, whether in terms of group discussion, meeting, interpersonal interaction, public speaking, or writing. Random sampling was used to distribute 143 questionnaires to Polytechnic Sultan Azlan Shah students. According to the data, there was no significant difference in students' frustration levels between verbal and non-verbal communication. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference between male and female students in terms of communication annoyance. The findings then show that public speaking is the type of communication that students dread the most. This study's findings can be used by all lecturers and institutions to create the greatest types of education and program for supporting and encouraging students' talents to talk effectively, confidently, and courageously. Keywords: Communication, public speaking, non-verbal, verbal, writing

The Developmental Progression of Early Algebraic Thinking of Elementary School Students.

Developing algebraic thinking in elementary school has gained consensus among mathematics educators. The objective of this study is to understand the developmental trajectory of early algebraic thinking in elementary school students so as to assist teachers and curriculum developers in implementing instruction that aligns with students' cognitive development. This study adopted a cross-sectional survey approach, involving 526 students from grades three to five in Shanghai, who were tested using a 12-item assessment that measured three aspects: "generalized arithmetic", "functional thinking", and "quantitative reasoning". Latent class analysis was used to analyze students' response strategies, and, in conjunction with individual interviews, this study identified potential developmental pathways in students' early algebraic thinking, progressing from "arithmetic thinking" to "concrete algebraic thinking", "generalized algebraic thinking", and finally to "symbolic algebraic thinking". As thinking levels advanced, significant differences in students' response strategies emerged, with notable improvements in "generalization abilities" and "symbolization abilities". This study suggests that educational practices should encompass content in elementary arithmetic curricula that fosters generalization abilities. Additionally, providing students with opportunities for diverse representations can effectively stimulate the development of early algebraic thinking.

Can the SiMaYang Learning Model Improve Elementary School Students' Critical Thinking Skills?

Low critical thinking skills are characterized by the inability of students to analyze ideas or suggestions in a more specific direction. This research aims to analyze students' critical thinking abilities by applying the Si-5 Kite (SiMaYang) learning model. This research uses a quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experimental Design type Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The population in this study was the fifth grade of elementary school with relatively low critical thinking skills based on the pretest results. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The number of samples in the experimental class was 30, and the number in the control class was 29. The data collection technique used is a test consisting of a pretest and a posttest. The data analysis techniques used in this research are descriptive and inferential statistical. The research results showed a significant difference in students' critical thinking abilities between the group that applied the SiMaYang learning model and the group that applied conventional methods. This can be seen based on the results of the pretest and posttest of the experimental class, which show a significant difference in students' critical thinking abilities before and after being given treatment in the form of implementing the SiMaYang learning model. So, the SiMaYang learning model can be used as an alternative learning model that can be applied to improve elementary school students' critical thinking skills.

Flipped Classroom for Undergraduate Medical Students in India: Are we ready for it?

The teaching-learning environment has undergone a paradigm shift with the recent implementation of a Competency-Based Medical Curriculum in India. Despite this, the concept of flipped classrooms for medical students is still in its infancy in our country. We conducted an experimental randomized crossover study to find if a flipped teaching model improves learning for first-year medical undergraduate students. Students' perceptions of this novel method were also obtained and analyzed. In the first period (first part of the study), one group of students underwent the Flipped Model Teaching (Flipped Teaching Group), and the second group (Traditional Teaching Group) was taught by the conventional method. A crossover was done with a second topic in the second period. A written test was conducted at the end of each period. Student feedback was also obtained. There was no statistically significant difference in students' performance on comparing traditional and flipped teaching methods. Reasons for this could be the level of the learner, prior exposure to active learning strategies, learner readiness/motivation for active learning, and timing of the study. Out of the participants 80% of students preferred the flipped model classroom teaching, especially the interactive discussion, and expressed their desire for more frequent similar learning activities. We conclude that there was no difference in marks obtained by students in the two groups, yet they preferred the flipped classroom method, which indicates that it is feasible to adopt this method in the Indian medical undergraduate classroom.
