‘It’s one of your main things in life like’: how children’s conceptualisations of play can inform educational practice

ABSTRACT Play is fundamental to childhood yet difficult to define, with the views of the players themselves often overlooked. Sixty-eight children (aged 4 to 13 years) were interviewed across two primary schools in the Republic of Ireland to gain a child-centred understanding of play. Reflexive thematic analysis generated thirteen themes: (1) fun; (2) social; (3) creative and imaginative; (4) physically active; (5) context-dependent; (6) a fundamental childhood experience; (7) happiness and pleasure; (8) toys and materials; (9) games; (10) autonomy and agency; (11) outdoors and nature; (12) competition and challenge; and (13) adult involvement. Implications for education include the need to use children’s conceptualisations of play to create authentic play experiences.

Examination of Skill-Based Questions in the Subject Area of the Science Course “Living Things and Life” in Terms of Root Values

Presenting skill-based questions to students in a way that is associated with daily life can enable students to acquire values implicitly through questions. This study aims to examine the skill-based questions in the subject area of ‘Living Things and Life’ at the 5th, 6th, and 7th-grade levels of the science course in terms of root values. The research was conducted by document analysis, which is a qualitative research method. The 124 skill-based questions in the subject area were analyzed descriptively by the deductive analysis method in terms of both visual and content. When the skill-based questions in the subject area of Living Things and Life were analyzed based on units, it was seen that there was not a balanced distribution in terms of root values and while the root value of responsibility was mostly included, the root value of honesty was not sufficiently included. Apart from these, it was concluded that patriotism, benevolence, respect, self-control, justice, patience, love, and friendship were the root values identified from most to least.

Pengaruh Intensitas Penggunaan Hand Phone Terhadap Hasil Belajar Siswa

The use of mobile phones by students has become a common thing in daily life. This study aims to analyze the influence of the intensity of mobile phone use on student learning outcomes. The research was conducted using quantitative methods. Data was collected through questionnaires that measured the intensity of mobile phone use, both for academic and non-academic activities, as well as the value of student learning outcomes. The results of the analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between the intensity of mobile phone use for non-academic activities and student learning outcomes, where the higher the intensity of mobile phone use for things outside of learning, the lower the learning outcomes. On the other hand, moderate use of mobile phones for activities that support learning can have a positive impact on learning outcomes. This finding indicates the importance of managing the use of mobile phones wisely by students so as not to interfere with academic achievement.

Personal Recovery With Bipolar Disorder: A Network Analysis.

Personal recovery is valued by people with bipolar disorder (BD), yet its conceptualisation is unclear. Prior work conceptualising personal recovery has focussed on qualitative evidence or clinical factors without considering broader psychosocial factors. This study used a network analysis of Bipolar Recovery Questionnaire (BRQ) responses, aiming to identify (1) independent relationships between items to identify those most "central" to personal recovery and (2) how the relationships between items reflect themes of personal recovery. The model was developed from BRQ responses (36 items) from 394 people diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The undirected network was based on a partial correlation matrix and was weighted. Strength scores were calculated for each node. Community detection analysis identified potential themes. The accuracy of the network was assessed using bootstrapping. Two consistent communities were identified: "Access to meaningful activity" and "Learning from experiences." "I feel confident enough to get involved in things in life that interest me" was the strongest item, although the strength stability coefficient (0.36) suggested strength should be interpreted with caution. The average edge weight was 0.02; however, stronger edges were identified. The network showed low stability, possibly due to sample heterogeneity. Future work could incorporate demographic variables, such as time since BD diagnosis or stage of personal recovery, into network estimation. Network analysis can be applied to personal recovery, not only clinical symptoms of BD. Clinical applications could include tailoring recovery-focussed therapies towards encouraging important aspects of recovery, such as feeling confident to get involved with life.

Role of green open spaces in the mental health and happiness of urban communities

Background: Mental health is the most important thing in human life, but in reality in Indonesia the level of mental health disorders is still high. People who live in urban areas are vulnerable to mental health disorders such as anxiety, stress and depression which are caused, among other things, by high work pressure and lack of recreational activities. Method: This article uses a non-experimental correlational method, collecting secondary data from various sources and journal articles without experimental manipulation. The focus is on urban communities. Findings: Difficulty accessing natural things, such as rural environments, even something "green". is one of the factors that makes urban residents easily experience depression. Depression can cause decreased energy, sleep disturbances, changes in appetite, and other physical problems, therefore fulfilling recreational needs that are cheap and easily accessible through public open spaces can be a solution to reduce people's stress levels. Conclusion: Green open space (RTH) provides an opportunity to escape from fatigue, work pressure, city crowds so that people can release their stress by immersing themselves in nature and connecting themselves with the natural environment. RTH has many positive benefits so its existence is very necessary, especially in densely populated residential areas. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study proposes a model for integrating green open space (GOS) into urban planning that considers physical aspects and therapeutic functions for mental health. This model combines evidence-based GOS design with community mental health programs, creating a 'green healing zone' that can be accessed and optimally utilized by city residents to reduce stress and improve mental well-being.

Civil Rights, Fascism’s Legacy, and Italian American Material Culture in Scorsese’s Mean Streets

This essay offers a material culture reading of Martin Scorsese’s 1973 film, Mean Streets, highlighting how the film narrates not only a small-time criminal gang in working-class New York City but a decidedly Italian American one, caught within a specific time and place. The film, emphasizing a neorealist style, is full of visual reminders of the ways objects—the things of everyday life—inform and reflect the lived experiences of an ethnic community, one that is alive, changing, and resilient, even as it may seem to possess, and almost embrace, a closed and stagnant sense of itself. In particular, I focus on what I refer to as “silent presences” in the film, especially around the Italian-American Civil Rights League of the 1970s and a legacy of Fascism. In so doing, I demonstrate how the characters’ layered prejudices and ethnic boosterism are in part defined by and defining the setting of the film in a manner that ultimately keeps those same characters away from assimilation in a time period when their neighborhood is changing. Focusing on the objects and materiality that structures the film’s setting helps illustrate how the characters react against change, against wholesale assimilation, retaining and reshaping Italian American identity along the way.

Food Insecurity Impacts Diet Quality, Health-Promoting Activities, and Perceived Stress

Food insecurity, defined as inadequate access to nutritious food, affects over two billion people globally. Poor nutrition and stress associated with food insecurity may negatively impact the performance of health-promoting activities. It may also increase stress levels through irregular eating patterns and concern over accessing suffcient food. However, the impact of food insecurity on engagement in health-promoting activities, stress, and dietary factors has yet to be studied extensively. This study aims to fill this gap by assessing the impact of food insecurity on health-promoting activities, perceived stress, and diet quality. It is hypothesized that food insecurity will negatively impact perceived stress levels and the frequency of engagement in health-promoting activities. It also hypothesized that those who engage in these activities more frequently will have better diet quality. An anonymous survey was administered to adults through various social media platforms. The survey contained demographic questions and seven validated scales: the Food Insecurity Experience Scale, Satisfaction, Alertness, Timing, Effciency, and Duration (SATED) Questionnaire, Health Promoting Activities Scale, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the Food Mood Questionnaire. These scales measured food insecurity status, sleep quality, frequency of health-promoting activities and self-care, self-esteem, perceived stress levels, physical activity, and dietary habits, respectively. Data from 561 individuals were analyzed using Pearson’s Correlation Coeffcient in IBM SPSS Version 28.0. The results indicate that being unable to eat healthy and nutritious food was negatively associated with performing personal care tasks (r= -0.136, p< 0.01) and social activities (r= -0.146, p< 0.01). It was also found that having to skip a meal was positively associated with being upset when something happens unexpectedly (r= 0.218, p< 0.01) and feeling unable to control the important things in life (r= 0.242, p< 0.01). Further, performing personal care tasks was negatively associated with eating fast food (r= -0.120, p< 0.01) and positively associated with consuming dark green, leafy vegetables (r= 0.216, p< 0.01), whole grains (r= 0.195, p< 0.01), and fruit (r= 0.287, p< 0.01). Our results suggest that food insecurity can negatively impact mental well-being, diet quality, and health-promoting behaviors. Interventions aimed at improving food security, and therefore diet quality, may have benefits for improving overall health and well-being. No funding was provided to conduct this research study.
