Research objectives: (1) to generate products for the development of baseball games targeting elementary school students (SD), (2) to assess the viability of developing a baseball game bat for Physical Education learning (PE learning) in elementary students, and (3) to evaluate the effectiveness of a baseball game bat for Physical Education learning (PE) in enhancing the hitting skills of elementary school students. This study was categorized as Research and Development (R&D) or development research, consisted of the following stages: 1) identification of potential and problems; 2) collection of information; 3) design of the product; 4) validation of the product; 5) revision of the product; 6) conducting product trials; 7) further revision of the product; 8) conducting broader trials; and 9) finalizing the model through revision. The trial participants consisted of third grade students from SD Negeri Dalangan 1 (Dalangan 1 Elementary School) in Minggir District. The trials were conducted on a weekly basis. For small-scale trials, there were 6 students involved, and for large-scale trials, there were 12 students. The sample was determined by using purposive sampling. The selected instruments included a questionnaire for material experts and media experts to assess the eligibility of a batting tool as a medium for learning baseball games, as well as questionnaires to gather student assessment responses. The acquired data would thereafter be quantitatively examined by using descriptive statistics, through the calculation of percentages. The acquired results indicate the following: (1) the development of baseball game batting products goes through nine stages of development, and (2) The assessment of the development tool's viability is based on a) the trial validity conducted by material experts shows that the mean value at 4.89 levels of achievement 97.78% are in the "very feasible" category. b) Media specialists undergo validity testing, resulting in an average value of 4.83. The achievement rates for this testing are at 96.67%, placing it in the "very feasible" category. c) A smallscale feasibility trial is conducted. Students receive an average score of 4.62, which corresponds to 87.23% in the "very feasible" category. The large-scale feasibility trials, conducted through a questionnaire, show an average score of 4.95, which corresponds to 99.10% in the "very feasible" category. Additionally, the t-test results indicate that the mean post-test score of 85.42 is significantly higher than the mean pre-test score of 41.67. The rise can be deemed significant based on the statistical significance (2-tailed) with a p-value of 0.000 (less than 0.05). Therefore, the creation of a castle game bat product is highly viable and efficient for teaching Physical Education for elementary school students.

Using student stand out moments to reclaim school-based social work placement

During the pandemic, one university experienced considerable challenge sourcing placements for student social workers. In response, they developed the SWIS project through which placed nearly 50 students in schools. To capture their experiences in practice learning, students were invited to participate in a reflective workshop. This paper focuses on one activity where students were asked to reflect on ‘stand out moments’ (SOM) when undertaking their school-based placement. The paper is underpinned by transformative learning theory, through which we explore the journey or process in practice learning which can facilitate growth and change. The data was collected as part of a wider action research study, with findings reasserting the centrality of direct work and relationship-based practice. The discussion section highlights how school-based placements provided significant opportunities for learning and development, such as being afforded the ‘freedom’ to be creative in developing child focused interventions. This paper has implications for revisiting the potential for school-based practice learning, as settings with wide ranging learning opportunities, which can inspire and empower students.

A Web-Based Thai School Lunch Program Promotes Children's Heights: A Cross-Sectional Study in Rural Schools.

Nutrition has an impact on development and linear growth. However, a few studies examine the connections between children's age-standardized height and their nutritional status and diet quality. This study aimed to find a relationship between dietary consumption and height for age among school students under a web-based Thai school lunch program. Anthropometric data and nutrient consumption were obtained from 24-hour records. Nutrient consumption was calculated using Inmucal. The parent and custodian's data were from the electronic health records. Children's heights were not correlated with parents' heights (P<0.720). Moreover, children with low height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) had significantly lower intakes of minerals (iron, magnesium, and selenium) and vitamins (B6, B12, C, and E). On the other hand, magnesium, selenium, vitamin B12, and vitamin E intakes of the children with normal HAZ were higher than their custodians. The Thai school lunch program effectively maintains the normal HAZ of children. Nutritional education in the community is recommended.

Edukasi Anti Bullying Pada Siswa PKBM Negeri 34 Cipayung

The increase in bullying cases in recent years seems to indicate that the problem of bullying has not yet been resolved. In Indonesia, bullying is still a major problem that has not been resolved properly. Bullying, also known as bullying, is a person's behavior that is carried out deliberately and consciously by individuals or groups to other people with the aim of threatening, hurting and suppressing victims and is carried out repeatedly. Bullying can occur in the form of physical, non-physical, verbal, non-verbal, and through the realm of cyberspace. Bullying can also occur anywhere and by anyone, especially by children and adolescents in the school environment. Therefore, bullying prevention in the school environment needs to be done, one of which is through bullying education itself. With bullying education, students in schools are expected to understand bullying as a whole. The results of the education show that students not only understand bullying as a whole but also grow self-awareness from students to not want to commit acts of bullying in any form.

Quantitative evaluation of a theoretical-conceptual model based on affective and socio-behavioral dimensions to explain the academic performance of mathematics students.

There is evidence that suggests that affective dimensions, personality traits, as well as students' cooperative interpersonal interactions, are an important element in the students learning process. In this work we propose a theoretical model, based on evidence, that shows the direct and indirect relationships between these factors and academic performance in mathematics courses, in undergraduate and school students. To understand the type of relationships between these variables, the PANAS psychometric test of positive and negative affect, the BIG FIVE personality test and the economic decision game DUPLES GAME were applied. The study sample was 130 students between 17 and 22 years of age from undergraduate and school (M ± SD = 20.1 ± 3.99). From a path analysis, statistically significant relationships were found, for example, a direct relationship between neuroticism and positive affect, which in turn is related to academic performance. We also found a direct relationship between neuroticism and negative affect, extraversion and positive affect. This allows us to propose that some of the independent variables of the model directly and indirectly influence the academic performance of students in the subject of mathematics. Positive affect and negative affect directly affect academic performance in mathematics, neuroticism has a direct impact on negative affect and extraversion direct impact on positive affect. Consequently, there are direct and indirect relationships between personality traits and affective dimensions, which affect the academic performance of mathematics students.

What do you think being a good scientist involves? School students’ views about science, scientific research, and being scientists

ABSTRACT Students often convey positive perceptions of science and scientists, although fewer express aspirations towards becoming scientists. Students’ science identities may link with wider perceptions, including what working as a scientist involves, although less research has explored these perceptions in detail. To gain new insights, questionnaire responses were considered from 289 school students across Year 9 to Year 13 (age 13/14 to 17/18 years old) from England and the island of Guernsey. Many students within the sample felt informed about science and scientific research and developments (67%), but fewer agreed that they saw themselves as scientists now (19%) or in the future (33%). Students’ written responses to ‘What do you think being a good scientist involves?’ were analysed and encompassed themes including: working scientifically; curiosity and discovery; determination, resilience, and perseverance; ability and understanding; interest, passion, and motivation; and openness to new ideas and different views. Some differences in the prevalence of themes were revealed across students with different characteristics, circumstances, and science identities. The findings offer new insight into students’ perceptions, to help understand how being a (good) scientist may be more or less feasible for different students.

This research is related to the level of parental education which discusses the problem of lack of motivation, attention and parenting style of parents to students so that it affects learning achievement obtained in the school environment. The purpose of this study is to analyze and measure how much influence / relationship between the level of education of parents and the learning achievement of students in school. As well as analyzing strategies that parents must use to increase the enthusiasm for learning of students in order to get high learning achievement. Themethod used is descriptive correlational analysis through a quantitative approach using questionnaire instruments distributed to predetermined samples. This study shows that there is an influence on the table of "r" product moment values, it can be known df of 39, obtained "r" product moment at a significant level of 5% = 0.316 and a significant level of 1% = 0.408. Comparing the known magnitudes of "r o" and "r t", the ro obtained by the researchers was 0.269 while rt was 0.316 and 0.408, respectively. Given this, ro rt should be 5% or 1%. Therefore, the null hypothesis stating that there is a low influence of 26.9% (low) between parents' education level and student achievement, is accepted or approved while the alternative hypothesis is rejected.

Social Comparison, Hope and Depression among Students of Madrasas and Schools

Present study examines social comparison, hope, and depression among madrasa and school students to see how these educational contexts affect mental health and well-being. Male and female students ages 11–17 were equally included in the sample. Participants were provided with the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS), Adult Hope Scale, and Social Comparison Scale. Although both educational environments had moderate feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress, madrasa students had more hope than school students. Despite their hopefulness, madrasa students had more despair and anxiety. Hope promotes mental health, as correlation research showed that higher hope levels were connected with reduced depression, anxiety, and stress. An independent samples t-test showed that madrasa students scored higher on depression and anxiety than school students. Madrasa students' higher rates of depression and anxiety require culturally sensitive mental health initiatives that include religious and moral teachings and provide necessary psychological care.

Changes in high school students attitudes toward health sciences following a hands-on outreach STEM program.

Despite attempts to diversify healthcare workplaces and education, racial and ethnic minorities (REM) remain underrepresented in these fields. This study investigated changes in high school students' health science interest following a single exposure, hands-on anatomy laboratory visit. One hundred and eighty-eight high school students participated in a single day, one-hour visit to a human anatomy laboratory on a university campus. Participants engaged in hands-on activities centered around both human and animal specimens led by university mentors. Using a modified Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics-Career Interest Survey (STEM-CIS) questionnaire, health science STEM interest was calculated before and after the visits and compared using a paired t-test (α = 0.05). A 2 × 2 ANOVA (α = 0.05) was run on pre-to-post-visit interest score differences with factors of Race (White/REM) and Gender (Male/Female) to determine if race/ethnicity and/or gender moderated the gains observed. Overall, health science STEM interest increased significantly from pre- to post-visit (p < 0.001), and these gains were greater in REM students (p < 0.05) but did not differ as a function of gender. These findings indicate that a single visit to an anatomy laboratory with hands-on activities can be used as a tool to engage high school aged students in STEM and may be particularly beneficial for racial/ethnic minority students, potentially influencing health science STEM interest.
