Implementation of intentionally structured psychosocial through folk games and traditional sports in elementary school students

This study aimed to examine the impact of intentionally structured psychosocial programs through folk games and traditional sports on elementary school students. Psychosocial factors influence individual thoughts and behaviors, and traditional games and sports are known for their character-building and cultural values. The research used a pretest-posttest group design with a quantitative approach, focusing on 5th-grade students from Sumur Batu 06 Public Elementary School in Central Jakarta. The primary instrument was the Questionnaire on Psychosocial Adjustment Needs of Grade 7 Students, covering social cognitive, socio-emotional, social, teacher-student, peer, parent, and sibling relationships. The study followed Kendellen's model, which emphasizes focusing on one psychosocial component per lesson, introducing it at the lesson's beginning, teaching it throughout the lesson, and reviewing it at the end. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22, including only students with at least 80% attendance who completed both pre-tests and post-tests. Normality tests confirmed that data from both integrated and non-integrated groups were normally distributed, while homogeneity tests showed that the samples were from a homogeneous population. Paired sample t-tests revealed significant improvements in psychosocial outcomes for both groups, with the integrated group showing a t-value of 7.453 (Sig. 0.000) and the non-integrated group a t-value of 5.121 (Sig. 0.000). These results indicate a significant positive effect of psychosocially integrated traditional games and sports on the psychosocial development of elementary school students.

Harmonising humans and technology: Exploring the dynamics of cognitive production, artificial intelligence and social communication in cybernetic systems

Agile cognitive production systems mark a manufacturing paradigm shift, propelled by the demand for accelerated product development and the adoption of digitalised production systems across extensive supply networks. Cognitive manufacturing emphasises the role of technology and automation in the learning and adaptation process. These systems independently analyse data, make real-time adjustments and optimise processes, sometimes minimising the need for human intervention. Based on a conceptual framework that draws on the diversity of living systems and cognitive processes, cybernetics provides a solid theoretical background. It explores the intricate connections between cognition, self-organising systems and the challenges arising from the autonomy of such systems. The concept of "cognition" in "agile cognitive systems" moves away from the conventional understanding of purely technical processes and towards human thought processes. This departure fosters a dynamic exchange where individual thoughts resonate in social communication. Addressing the role of artificial intelligence (AI), the article emphasises examining computers from a social science standpoint, exploring the relationship between computers and mental systems, capturing human faculties such as cognition, utterance, and understanding. The integration of AI into computer-mediated communication leads to the question how AI-equipped computers intersect with societal intelligence notions. The inherent intransparency of AI, often viewed as a black box, prompts queries about the potential black-box nature of an autonomously controlled AI factory or supply chain. In this hypothetical scenario, the idea of the supply chain as a communication network is challenged, emphasising the importance of human involvement. Research on human-centric cognitive production emphasises explainable AI and human-in-the-loop. This orientation goes beyond the technical dimensions and incorporates social science considerations, which emphasises the holistic nature of current research. In essence, research in the field of cognitive production is a comprehensive exploration of the complex interplay between human cognition, artificial intelligence and the evolving landscape of modern production systems.

Memahami Tantangan dan Strategi Pengembangan Profesionalisme Guru dalam Mengajar Pendidikan Jasmani Adaptif

Physical, social and personal health, especially for children with special needs. This is important so that children can develop optimally according to their abilities. However, the teaching of adaptive physical education also brings many challenges for teachers. Limited space and equipment make it difficult to achieve an inclusive environment for all students. To meet these challenges, teachers must improve their professional skills through specialized training, teamwork, comprehensive curriculum development, improved accessibility of facilities and individualized teaching methods. The purpose of this teacher professional development strategy is to improve teachers' skills in the field of adaptive sports education and ensure that all students, including students with special needs, have a good opportunity to enter physical education. In this way, teachers can provide educational services according to the needs and abilities of each student. In addition, this study uses qualitative research methods to describe and analyze phenomena, events, social activities, attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and thoughts of individuals or groups. Through extensive data collection and in-depth analysis, this study provides a better understanding of the challenges and strategies related to teacher professional development in the field of adaptive physical education. Therefore, adaptive physical education plays an important role in improving the physical, social and emotional well-being of students with special needs. However, to achieve this, further efforts are needed to develop teachers' professional skills and make physical education accessible to all students.

An analysis of Thought Presentation in Hemingway’s A Farwell to Arms

A crucial component of literary works is the depiction of dialogue, written communication, and the introspective thoughts of characters or individuals. This research aims to investigate the portrayal of thoughts in Hemingway's novel, A Farewell to Arms. To this end, a comprehensive examination of various methods of presenting thoughts is conducted in relation to Short Leech's (2007) framework. Four separate examples have been purposefully picked with the objective of studying the stylistic depiction of thoughts in Hemingway's novel, A Farewell to Arms. The excerpts are chosen based on the probable stylistic characteristics of the discourse categories. Two passages are selected from Book I, and two excerpts are chosen from Book II of the novel. The inquiry determined that A Farewell to Arms is told only from the perspective of the protagonist, Henry Fredric, via his consciousness. The study has prioritized the classification of thought presentation rather than speech presentation. Furthermore, the narrative is mostly conveyed via the use of three distinct categories: free indirect thought, direct thought, and free direct thought. During discussions, the dominant modes of communication are direct thought and free direct thought.

Exploring the impact of family, school and society on the perception and reputation of vocational training in Pakistan:a statistical analysis

PurposeThe Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA) plays a crucial role in the socioeconomic development of a country. Still, it is often stigmatized as a secondary choice in the Global South. This study explored the interrelationships and impacts of factors such as family, school, and society on the perception and reputation of TEVTA.Design/methodology/approachBy employing quantitative methods, the analysis focused on how family, society, and school support influence these perceptions and reputations within TEVTA programs. Social Cognitive Theory is the theoretical underpinning of this study, in which 350 students from 13 TEVTA institutes participated by filling out questionnaires. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and IBM SPSS 28.FindingsThis study indicates that family and societal influences significantly shape students' perceptions, confirming their pivotal role in enhancing the reputation of these programs. School support also emerged as a critical factor, significantly impacting students' perceptions but not directly influencing the programs' reputation. The analysis underscores the importance of understanding the sociocultural context to develop effective strategies for the TEVTA sector in Pakistan. This clear understanding is essential for developing effective strategies to improve the reputation of TEVTA programs in this setting. Moreover, this research offers policy suggestions to make vocational education more attractive and accessible to diverse students, ultimately contributing to the country's socioeconomic development.Originality/valueThis study applied Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) to explore how individual thoughts, environmental influences (such as family, school, and society), and behaviors interact within the context of TEVTA programs. This approach fills gaps in current research and offers a clearer understanding of what affects TEVTA's perception and reputation.

P-487 The experiences and outcomes of donor conceived adults in the UK who are actively searching, open to contact with, and not searching for donor connections

Abstract Study question What are the experiences and outcomes of donor conceived adults who are actively searching, open to contact with, and not searching for donor connections? Summary answer Most participants were actively searching or open to contact, of whom 67% had found or been found by a connection; finding/not finding experiences were complex. What is known already There is variation among donor conceived individuals in their interest in donor connections. Individual reasons for searching for connections, and which donor connections are searched for, also vary. Most research studies have focussed on individuals who are actively searching for their donor or donor siblings. Global increases in direct-to-consumer DNA testing and social media participation mean that connections may be made to individuals unaware of their (or their relatives’) involvement with donor conception. These social and technological changes have also increased the chances of donor conceived individuals being contacted without expecting or desiring contact. Study design, size, duration 88 donor conceived adults in the UK participated in an online multi-method survey between January and August 2022. The survey was designed in consultation with the UK’s largest community networks for donor conception families (Donor Conception Network, DCN) and donor conceived people (Donor Conceived Register Registrants’ Panel, DCRRP). It was piloted by five donor conceived people before launch. Participants were recruited with assistance from DCN and DCRRP, via social media, university mailing lists, and snowballing. Participants/materials, setting, methods Participants were mostly female (n = 65, 74%) and sperm donor conceived (n = 79, 90%). 39 participants (44%) were actively searching for their donor connections, 44 participants (50%) were open to contact but not actively searching, and 5 participants (6%) were not searching. Questions were closed (yes/no, rating scale, or multiple choice) and open-ended, addressing experiences of donor conception, searching for connections, and finding or not finding connections. Data were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Main results and the role of chance Quantitative results showed no differences between groups in how they found out about being donor conceived, and no differences between active searchers and those open to contact in whether they had found their donor connections. 59 participants across all groups (active searchers (n = 29, 74%), open to contact (n = 27, 61%), not open to contact (n = 3, 60%)) had found or been found by a donor connection. Active searchers who had found (Median = 3, IQR = 2) were more likely to feel their expectations had been met compared to active searchers who had not found (Median = 3, IQR = 1). (U = 55.00, p = .003) and those open to contact who had not found (Median = 4, IQR = 2) (U = 110.50, p = .001). Qualitative results showed that participants in all groups mentioned identity and belonging, family relationships, and having found connections as reasons for presently searching/not searching. Experiences of finding/not finding donor connections among participants actively searching or open to contact were captured by the theme complexities, and six subthemes: uncertainties in searching and relating; searching as open-ended; different donor connections, different experiences; expectations and realities; searching as catalysing change; and experiences of other donor conceived people. Limitations, reasons for caution Most participants were members of relevant community organisations. As is common in research in this area, the sample were mostly conceived using donor sperm and identified as female. Donor conceived people who are disinterested in donor connections may be unlikely to participate in research on this topic. Wider implications of the findings Assumptions about individual thoughts and experiences of searching for and connecting with donor connections should not be made based on search activity, nor should this determine access to support services. The nature and impact of the search process itself should be considered when developing appropriate mechanisms of support. Trial registration number Not applicable

Opinions of Individuals Exposed to Earthquake Regarding Their Psychological Rigidity

This is a qualitative study conducted to evaluate the thoughts of individuals who were exposed to the earthquake that took place on 06.02.2023, centered in Kahramanmaraş, regarding their psychological rigidity. A phenomenological approach was adopted in the study. 14 participants were included in the study. Data were collected by audio recording with a semi-structured interview form. Content analysis technique was used to analyze the data. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that individuals exposed to the earthquake avoided the emotions of joy, happiness, love, sadness, anger and fear. It was determined that thoughts are suppressed and thoughts about the loss of family members are avoided. However, there are also participants who do not have avoidant thoughts or behaviors. Individuals exposed to earthquake reported situations such as fear of loss, nightmares, anxiety, hopelessness, rumination, powerlessness, failure, fear of punishment, burnout, embarrassment, claustrophobia, crying spells, eating problems, increase in alcohol/cigarette use, sleep problems, social isolation, excessive cleaning, staying away from entertainment, and disruption of social relations. In this study, after the trauma experienced, some individuals stated that they became aware of the value of life, created new options, had positive changes in social relations, and change in the perception of self. Considering the results, it is evaluated that practices aimed at increasing psychological flexibility will reduce the negative effects of traumatic experiences and increase psychological resilience in individuals.

Metode Presentasi Untuk Membangun Keterampilan Public Speaking Dan Kepercayaan Diri Siswa Dalam Pembelajaran PAI di SMAN 1 Mojotengah Wonosobo

Neural signatures of imaginary motivational states: desire for music, movement and social play

The literature has demonstrated the potential for detecting accurate electrical signals that correspond to the will or intention to move, as well as decoding the thoughts of individuals who imagine houses, faces or objects. This investigation examines the presence of precise neural markers of imagined motivational states through the combining of electrophysiological and neuroimaging methods. 20 participants were instructed to vividly imagine the desire to move, listen to music or engage in social activities. Their EEG was recorded from 128 scalp sites and analysed using individual standardized Low-Resolution Brain Electromagnetic Tomographies (LORETAs) in the N400 time window (400–600 ms). The activation of 1056 voxels was examined in relation to the 3 motivational states. The most active dipoles were grouped in eight regions of interest (ROI), including Occipital, Temporal, Fusiform, Premotor, Frontal, OBF/IF, Parietal, and Limbic areas. The statistical analysis revealed that all motivational imaginary states engaged the right hemisphere more than the left hemisphere. Distinct markers were identified for the three motivational states. Specifically, the right temporal area was more relevant for “Social Play”, the orbitofrontal/inferior frontal cortex for listening to music, and the left premotor cortex for the “Movement” desire. This outcome is encouraging in terms of the potential use of neural indicators in the realm of brain-computer interface, for interpreting the thoughts and desires of individuals with locked-in syndrome.

Konsep Ilmu dalam Perspektif Islam

The study of knowledge in Islam is very important. Knowledge in modern times is considered lacking in explaining phenomena in this era. The purpose of writing this article is to analyze the Islamic perspective on science, including the concepts, classifications, and roots of science. This research method is qualitative with a literature study approach originating from e-journals, books and trusted media. The results of this study state that first, the concept of science according to Islam does not only discuss physical aspects, but also metaphysical aspects. Science must also have objectivity, meaning that it can be accepted by many people and not be influenced by individual thoughts. Second, Islam broadly classifies knowledge into two, namely fardu ain knowledge and fardu kifayah knowledge. Figures of Muslim scientists such as Al-Farabi and Ibn Nadhim divided world knowledge into more detail. Third, Knowledge in Islam comes from the Al-Qur'an, Hadith, intellect, and intuition. How to obtain this knowledge can be through revelation, five senses, reason, and heart or intuition. Fourth, Modern science in the West began to develop, and Western society relinquished the influence of the church to adopt a modern way of thinking that emphasized rationality and empirical evidence. Western thought considers religion and science to be separate, viewing this division as a hindrance to progress. However, in the Islamic tradition, religious and secular powers are not divided

Application of Paired Problem Solving for Effective Identification of Misconceptions

Abstract— In engineering education, most courses have numerical problems and complex concepts that need to be applied. Students sometimes find it difficult to apply the concepts in numerical problems and subsequently end up performing poorly in examinations. Timely feedback on numerical problems solved by the students will address this. A systematic understanding of student misunderstandings and misconceptions is likely to lead to improved effectiveness in learning. TAPPS (Think Aloud Paired Problem Solving) is one of the best practices in engineering education and provides an opportunity for students to solve problems collectively by thinking and sharing their individual thoughts and ideas. When the instructor is involved as a keen observer the student misconceptions can be documented comprehensively enabling the instructor to address the problem in a timely manner. TAPPS also provides ample scope for educators to identify individual thinking processes and understanding patterns and therefore enables them to guide the students towards the correct approach to problem solving. This article describes a case study of an implementation of TAPPS with a dialogue conducted for undergraduate electrical engineering students in the third year. Keywords—TAPPS, Numerical Problem Solving, Heterogeneous groups

Does the Label Matter? Examining the Effects of “Vaccine Passport” Versus “Vaccine Verification” on Subsequent Audience Frames and Policy Attitudes

Abstract Using a nationally representative sample of Democrats and Republicans (n = 1,000), we conducted an online survey wording experiment to examine the presence of a labeling effect when a vaccine verification system is referred to as either “vaccine passports” or “vaccine verification.” Critically, we use both close-ended and open-ended responses in order to understand how the different labels influence the level of support as well as individual thoughts. While our findings show slightly higher public support when a vaccine program is labeled as “vaccine verification” as compared to “vaccine passport,” deep partisan divides still exist. Indeed, Republicans show less support for a vaccine program, regardless of the label used. We dig into these partisan differences using the open-ended thought listing exercise we provided to respondents. We discuss the benefits of supplementing open-ended responses as an enhancement to close-ended measures in experimental research.

Effect of Negative Automatic Thoughts on Medication Adherence in Individuals With Schizophrenia

This study aimed to determine the effect of negative automatic thoughts on medication adherence in individuals with schizophrenia. This was a cross-sectional study carried out in a community mental health center between October 2022 and December 2022. The study included 102 individuals with schizophrenia. Data was collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Negative Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (NAT-Q), and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS). The individuals' total mean NAT-Q score was 106.34 ± 27.32. There was a strong negative correlation between NAT-Q and MMAS scores ( r = −0.822, P < 0.05). The study found that negative automatic thoughts predicted medication adherence by 67%. The negative automatic thoughts of the individuals were high and the medication adherence of half of the individuals was low. It was determined that the level of negative automatic thoughts of individuals with schizophrenia may negatively affect their medication adherence. [ Psychiatr Ann . 2023;53(11):518–524.]

Impact of Social Media Method for Retake Students of English for Academic Purpose Courses

The growth of social media has made it an ingrained part of today’s society. The constant use of different platforms for example: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube made it convenient to share individual thoughts, opinions, and to connect with people. These communications can be diverse and complex as it can be conducted through integration of text, graphics, animation, sound, and video. Many teachers have already implemented the practice of social media or multimedia in their classrooms. English as a foreign or second language (EFL/ESL) could be a difficult course to be taught and learned for both ends (teachers and students). In tertiary level many students fail to complete the course in one chance. They need improvement. As a result they need to retake the course. This group of students adds some extra challenge for the teachers .Therefore EFL/ESL requires innovation in the teaching process. One of the techniques to develop this situation could be the usage of the combination of social media and multimedia during the process of teaching and learning in the classroom. This study investigates retake group of students’ participation in EAP course using facebook for English language . A survey was conducted for data collection, in which all 40 participants of American International University-Bangladesh (AIUB) were instructed to join a group named ‘EAP I Intelligent Mind’. All the tasks were posted in the group and students provided answers in comment box. This paper includes findings which shows that the retake students possessed positive attitudes, motivation, and gain self-confidence in learning English language.
