The Dynamics of Learning Loss for Elementary Students Jakarta in the New Normal

Background: Although scientific evidence has revealed the benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption (FVC) for children, 96.8% of age school children in Indonesia and 70.6% of primary school students in Jakarta did not have FVC as recommended. Aims: to assess how Muhammadiyah Elementary School Students’ knowledge and FVC were affected by school gardening and nutrition education. Methods: Following 6 monthly program, knowledge and FVC were assessed by using the Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) and knowledge questionnaire. Results: 1) There is a significant increase in students’ knowledge scores from 43.24 ± 14.24 to 70.31 ± 18.92 (P-value 0.000). 4); 2) The mean of FCV was elevated from 211.45±12.33 to 289.76±19.64, however, it was not statistically significant (P-Value of 0.058). Conclusion: Although knowledge has been improved following 6 months program, the FVC level was not dramatically enhanced. Future similar activities need to be done in a non-pandemic situation and should be lengthened into more than 6 months to portray a significant increase in FVC.

AimThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has had a significant psychological impact on children and adolescents, increasing depression, anxiety, and suicide‐related behaviors. In Japan, suicide remained the leading cause of death among individuals aged 10–19 years, with rates rising after the pandemic onset. However, few studies have examined these changes in psychiatric outpatient settings. We aimed to determine whether the prevalence of suicide‐related behaviors and associated psychiatric symptoms—depression and anxiety—differed pre‐ and post‐pandemic among elementary and junior high school students attending psychiatric outpatient clinics.MethodsIn this retrospective case–control study, we analyzed registry data from a child and adolescent psychiatric outpatient clinic in Japan. Patients were classified into pre‐ and post‐COVID‐19 groups based on the visit date (cutoff: March 2, 2020). Clinical characteristics were assessed at the initial visit through interviews and standardized rating scales: Depression Self‐Rating Scale for Children, Spence Children's Anxiety Scale, and Attention‐Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale‐IV. Group differences were examined using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.ResultsBetween 2016 and 2022, 2878 patients were included. The prevalence of suicide‐related behaviors increased post‐pandemic, from 3.0% to 6.9% among elementary school students and from 15.5% to 21.2% among junior high school students. In the post‐COVID‐19 group, elementary students more often exhibited antisocial behaviors and hyperactivity/conduct disorder diagnoses. Junior high students more often exhibited anxiety symptoms, particularly social anxiety, panic, and trauma‐related fear.ConclusionSuicide‐related behaviors significantly increased after the COVID‐19 pandemic, with distinct clinical characteristics observed across age groups.

최근 환경, 건강, 배려의 지속가능한 식생활로 교육 패러다임 전환이 이루어지고 있는 가운데 학생 스스로 자신의 식생활역량을 진단하고 지속가능한 식생활을 실천할 수 있도록 교육할 필요가 있으나, 아직 지속가능한 식생활역량을 검사할 수 있는 진단도구는 부재한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선행연구 분석, 전문가 자문, 예비조사를 거쳐 유아･초등학교 저학년생, 초등학교 고학년생 그리고 청소년 대상의 지속가능한 식생활역량 진단도구를 개발하였고, 현장 적용을 통해 대상별 식생활역량 실태를 파악하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, ‘지속가능한 식생활역량 진단도구’ 3종을 개발하였다. 이 진단도구는 2018년도에 개발된 ‘지속가능한 식생활교육 내용 체계’에 근거하여 환경, 건강, 배려 영역별로 진단항목을 설정하였으며, 유아･초등 저학년용 10개 문항, 초등 고학년용 15개 문항, 청소년용 20개 문항으로 구성하였다. 둘째, 개발된 진단도구의 현장 적용 결과에 따라 유형별 분류기준을 개발하였다. 영역별 점수를 기준으로, 환경, 건강, 배려의 영역별로 75% 이상 점수를 획득하였을 경우 각각 ‘환경친화형’, ‘건강한 식생활형’, ‘배려형’으로 분류하였다. 총점 기준으로는 ‘지속가능한 식생활 우수 실천형’, ‘지속가능한 식생활 실천형’, ‘식생활 개선형’의 3단계로 분류하였다. 셋째, 개발된 진단도구를 서울 지역 초, 중, 고등학생 1,255명을 대상으로 시범 적용 평가 결과, 전반적으로 청소년 집단이 초등학생 집단보다 지속가능한 식생활역량이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 학교급이 올라갈수록 ‘지속가능한 식생활 우수 실천형’이 줄어드는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 지속가능한 식생활역량 진단도구는 지속가능한 식생활교육 플랫폼인 ‘식생활교실’에 탑재되어 초등학생과 청소년들이 온라인상에서 스스로 지속가능한 식생활역량을 진단하고 지속가능한 식생활을 실천하는 데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.Along with the paradigm shift toward sustainable food education focusing on environment, health and consideration, it is necessary to educate students to diagnose their food competency and practice sustainable diet. However, there are no evaluation tools developed so far. Therefore, three kinds of Sustainable Food Competency Evaluation Tool (SFCET) were developed for lower elementary students, upper elementary students as well as for adolescents in this study by the analysis of previous studies, advices from experts in food education, and preliminary test for these student groups. The main results of this study were as follows: First, three kinds of SFCET were developed based on the sustainable food education content system suggested by Kim et al.(2018). SFCETs for lower elementary students, upper elementary students and adolescents consist of 10, 15, 20 questions, respectively, including the areas of environment, health and consideration. Second, classification criteria for each group were developed according to the results of pilot application of the developed evaluation tools. The evaluation criteria by area were classified as ‘eco-friendly type’, ‘healthy diet type’ and ‘considerate type’, respectively, if the scores of 75% or more were achieved in each area of environment, health and consideration. The total score was divided into three stages: ‘excellent practice of sustainable diet type’, ‘sustainable diet practice type’ and ‘dietary improvement type’. Third, when the developed evaluation tools were applied to 1,255 elementary, middle and high school students in Seoul, the results showed that the overall adolescent group showed a lower sustainable food competency than the elementary student groups, and the higher the school level, the lower the ratio of ‘excellent practice of sustainable diet type’. The SFCETs developed in this study were uploaded on the sustainable food education platform ‘Food Classroom’ and could be utilized to help elementary school students and adolescents evaluate their own sustainable food competency and practice sustainable diets in their lives.

The study explored the elementary school student’s perception of improvement in the English language. The research was quantitative. The main objective is to investigate what techniques students use to improve their English. Moreover, find the difference of opinion between males and females regarding English improvement. Moreover, find the differences of opinion among public and private elementary school students. The study's population was elementary school students in Lahore, selected by a convenient sampling method. The study sample was 300 male and female elementary school students from Lahore. The researcher uses a self-developed questionnaire for students. For data collection, a questionnaire was used. The questionnaire was adapted to explore secondary school students' perception of improvement in the English language. The tool consisted of a six-point Likert scale. The questionnaire was divided into two parts; the 1st part consisted of demographic variables (gender, types of schools, and age). Data were analyzed through SPSS by applying descriptive frequency distribution, one-way ANOVA, and t-test. Based on data analysis, it was found that a significant percentage of students engage in various self-directed English learning activities, such as reviewing their work (29.3%), seeking opportunities to use English outside of class (22.8%), and practicing pronunciation through reading aloud (26.7%). Additionally, many students use strategies such as looking up words in dictionaries (24.4%) and paying attention to errors when writing or speaking (26.4%) to improve their language skills. Moreover, there was no significant difference between secondary students categorized on a gender basis and also not found a significant difference between students of private and public schools. However, significance was found between different groups of ages

Differentiated models in science learning in elementary schools are essential to improve science literacy in line with the provisions of the Independent Curriculum. The application of this model allows teachers to adjust teaching methods that are more responsive to the individual learning needs of students, thereby maximizing their learning potential in understanding complex and relevant scientific concepts. This study aimed to investigate how using a differentiated approach to make science learning more effective can help students learn more about science. The research used a quantitative approach and a quasiexperimental nonequivalent control group design. The study was split into two groups: the experimental group and the control group, which consisted of a total of 274 elementary school students in Jakarta who were used as the population. Cluster random sampling was used for the sampling process, and interviews, observations, and instruments in the form of science literacy tests in the form of surveys were used to collect the data. An independent t test and an N-gain score test was used to look at the data. The results showed that using a differentiated model to improve students' science literacy had a big impact. This was supported by an independent t test with a significance value of 0.000 <0.05 and an N-gain score test that met the medium criteria. The differentiated learning model has a positive impact on the development of students' scientific literacy, with a substantive increase in their ability to apply scientific concepts in various situations.

The low level of nationality awareness among primary school students, which resulted from inadequate learning, served as the research basis. A learning model was developed to facilitate this, namely the ethnosocial-based differentiated digital learning model. However, the previous learning model was not contextual, did not involve students, did not consider the students’ preferred learning methods, and did not connect the technology-based learning process. Although the ethnosocial-based differentiated digital learning approach has been deemed valid, further research was required to ascertain its impact on students’ nationalistic insight. This research aimed to determine how elementary students’ nationalistic insight was impacted by an ethnosocial-based differentiated digital learning model. Six hundred students participated in this quasi-experimental research. Test questions were utilized to assess their level of nationalistic insight. The normality, homogeneity, paired sample t-test, effect size, and independent sample t-tests were performed on the test results. The findings indicated that the ethnosocial-based differentiated digital learning model impacted elementary school students’ nationalistic insight. Comparing students who learned conventionally with those who used the ethnosocial-based differentiated digital learning model, the former showed a higher value of nationalistic insight. The findings of this study have value for how academics might help elementary school students develop their nationalistic insight.

Technological advancement has reduced writing skills due to dependence on the internet, AI, and ChatGPT. This study aims to examine the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and learning motivation on elementary students’ writing skills. This study uses a quantitative research method using a quasi-experimental design. The population of this study was all 165 sixth-grade elementary school students. The sample selection in this study used a non-probability sampling technique with a sample size of 37 students. The data collection method used questionnaires and tests. The instruments used in this study were learning motivation questionnaires and tests. The technique used to analyze the data was inferential statistics. The results of this study indicate that the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) learning model has a significant effect on elementary school students' writing skills. The experimental group outperformed the control group in explanatory writing skills (p = 0.004 < 0.05). Highly motivated students in the experimental class achieved higher scores than those in the control class. Learning motivation also had a significant effect on writing skills (p = 0.029 < 0.05). It is concluded that PBL and learning motivation improve students’ writing skills.

The lack of nutrient was happened because of the low of quality and quantity of nutrient supply, and because of infection also. Nutrient supply like vitamin A, Fe, and Zn are the components which influence someone's nutrient status. The citizen of outskirts city usually identify by poverty. Vitamin A has a role in the mobilization of Fe reserve in human body to synthesize the hemoglobin. Fe and Zn which were given together can absorb well if Fe doses was not more than Zn. The research to new students of elementary school's nutrient status in NTT Province in general, and in Kupang particularly was rare until now. To know nutrient status of new students of elementary school basically is important to keep up with the development of students' study process as long as their education period in elementary school. To know the relationship of Zn, Fe, and vitamin A supply to the new students of elementary school's nutrient status in outskirts of Kupang city, NTT Province. This is a quantity of research with observational design cross-sectional. The research will be done in Kupang City in 2 months. The populations of this research are 3993 students of class one at the elementary school (this populations counted according to the number of class one data on 2013, in Kupang City. It means that all of the elementary students in Kupang City were not included in this account). Minimum sample which was needed in this research were 98 students. To anticipate the drop out students, then needed to add 10%, so the number of sample which was needed in this research are 108 students. To take 108 students was used random sampling technique. The criteria of the sample are: the new elementary school students (not repeat students) on the time of measuring didn't in sick condition and had not physic difference (hadn't hunchbacked). Fe supply has a relationship to nutrient status (IMT/U) with p-value less than 0, 05 (p=0,019), Zn supply also point out the relationship to nutrient status (IMT/U) with p-value 0,038, and vitamin A has a relationship to new students of elementary school's nutrient status with p-value 0, 005. There is a relationship between Fe supply with nutrient status (IMT/U), there is a relationship between Zn supply with nutrient status (IMT/U), there is a relationship between vitamin A supply with nutrient status (IMT/U). to the next researcher, besides measuring Fe supply, pay attention also macronutrient. Education organizer (school) need to pay attention to student's nutrient problem, because the students who have nutrient problem tend to have problems on their ability to accept subject matter in class.

The low interest of students in numerical literacy remains a concern, necessitating a specific instrument to measure this aspect. This study aims to develop and validate an instrument for measuring interest in numerical literacy using the Rasch Model. The research subjects consisted of 200 randomly selected high school students in Jakarta. Data were collected through an online questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale. The analysis showed that 12 out of 13 items were valid and reliable, with an item reliability value of 0.89 and a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.92. The distribution of item difficulty levels was even, ensuring the instrument could measure students' interest across various ability levels. One item did not fit the validity criteria and needs revision. Additionally, the Rasch Model provided in-depth insights into response consistency and the distribution of item difficulty levels. The developed instrument significantly contributes to measuring interest in numerical literacy, supporting educational decision-making, and designing more effective learning interventions.

V raziskavi smo preučevali razlike v agresivnosti med spoloma in med različnimi starostnimi skupinami na vzorcih slovenskih učencev in dijakov. Zajeti so bili trije reprezentativni vzorci: mlajši učenci (učenci 4. razreda osnovne šole), starejši učenci (učenci 8. razreda osnovne šole) ter dijaki (dijaki 4. letnikov programov splošne mature). Analize so temeljile na rezultatih lestvice agresivnosti LA, ki meri splošno agresivnost in štiri specifične vrste agresivnosti: telesna agresivnost (TA), besedna agresivnost (BA), notranja agresivnost (NA) in agresivnost v odnosu do avtoritete (AA). Z dvosmerno analizo variance smo ugotovili pomemben učinek spremenljivk spola, starosti ter pomembne učinke interakcije obeh spremenljivk (spol in starost) na agresivnost učencev in dijakov. Ugotovili smo pomembne razlike med spoloma v skupini starejših učencev in v skupini mlajših učencev, ne pa tudi dijakov. Učenci, tako starejši kot mlajši, so bili bolj agresivni v primerjavi z učenkami. Starejši učenci so bili v primerjavi z mlajšimi učenci bolj besedno agresivni, bolj telesno agresivni, bolj notranje agresivni in bolj agresivni v odnosu do avtoritete. Dijaki so bili v primerjavi z obema skupinama učencev manj telesno agresivni, manj besedno agresivni, bolj notranje agresivni, v agresivnosti v odnosu do avtoritete pa so se nahajali med obema skupinama učencev. Vzorec razlik med različnimi skupinami je skladen z izsledki strokovne literature, ki ugotavljajo višjo agresivnost pri moškem spolu in različne razvojne poti za različne vrste agresivnosti, kar so potrdili tudi naši podatki. Raziskava je podala pomembne primerjave agresivnosti na slovenskih vzorcih in obenem odprla nova raziskovalna vprašanja, vezana predvsem na merjenje in preverjanje bolj posrednih oblik agresivnosti, ki so značilnejše za ženski spol in dijake.

Well-designed game-based learning can provide students with an innovative environment that may enhance students' motivation and engagement in learning and thus improve their learning performance. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among elementary school students' flow experience and learning performances. We also investigated the gender and grade differences as well as the types of potential clusters of flow experiences and performance. Thirty-four elementary school students participated in this study. This study conducted correction analysis, difference analysis and a two-stage cluster analysis. The findings suggested that the students with higher flow experiences tended to have higher learning performances. The results of gender differences showed that female students had high performance scores and great flow experiences in the mini-educational game in this study. Moreover, the results revealed that the students of higher grade had significantly higher scores in both performance and flow experience than the students of lower grade. The result of cluster analysis fell into three categories: low performance/low flow experience students, high flow experience students and high performance/high flow experience students. On the basis of our findings, we also proposed suggestions for future game-based learning research.

Students' literacy skills in Indonesia remain a critical concern in education. The lack of reading interest, particularly among elementary school students, necessitates the integration of technology as an innovative solution in learning. This study aims to explore the impact of Chromebook and Let's Read application on students' reading interest through picture stories. A qualitative approach using a case study method was employed, involving 30 students from two elementary schools as research subjects. The results indicated a positive trend in students' engagement and enthusiasm, along with significant improvements in concentration and focus during learning activities. Teacher reports confirmed that the use of Chromebook and Let's Read significantly enhanced students' motivation to read and explore picture stories. However, the study also identified challenges such as technical issues and curriculum adjustments. Despite these obstacles, the integration of technology in education demonstrated promising outcomes in increasing students' reading interest and literacy skills. This research concludes that the use of Chromebook and Let's Read application can create a more engaging and effective learning environment, fostering active student participation in reading activities. The findings emphasize the importance of leveraging technology in elementary education to cultivate sustainable reading habits and improve literacy outcomes.

The purpose of the study was to develop a PQ4R learning strategy for learning to write short stories for junior high school students in Jakarta. The method used R and D through the ADDIE model. Data were taken using observation, learning to write results and questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out through expert and peer assessment. The results of the study concluded that in the sixth step, discussion activities were added to discuss the results of short story writing and the peer assessment process. This strategy also had a positive impact on writing enthusiasm, increasing reading comprehension through reading activities in the third step. Students were also able to collaborate in developing short story writing. So, this research had implications for understanding the development of learning strategies that must be designed according to the character and needs of students and the learning objectives to be achieved. This model can be used in short story writing in class.

Motivation is an important determinant for students’ academic achievement; however, many pupils report that their learning motivation decreases in particular prior to exams. Preventive steps, guidance and counseling teachers or school counselors reported lack of concentration, high anxiety, and low enthusiasm among high school students. This study investigated the utility of a Cognitive-Behavioral Psychoeducational Community Music Therapy Seminar/Workshop in improving students' motivation to learn before exams. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used with 213 senior high school students in Jakarta, Indonesia, aged between 15 to 18 years old. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was employed to assess students’ motivation and learning strategies. The intervention, psychoeducation content using music therapy activities including group singing, rhythm-playing, and reflect. The paired-sample t-tests and effect size (Cohen’s d) was performed to data. Results revealed a highly significant elevation in overall motivation (Pretest M = 4.21; Posttest M = 4.78; t (212) = 14.32, p < .001; Cohen’s d = 0.69). Results of subscale analyses indicated there were increases in intrinsic goal orientation, task value, self-efficacy, and metacognitive self-regulation while test anxiety was decreased. Findings endorse the feasibility of CoMT-based seminars to be utilized as effective strategic school interventions for enhancing motivation and examination readiness. The incorporation of music therapy into guidance and counseling programs offers one dynamic and empirically supported method to support academic resilience among teenage students.
