Temperament Trait

BACKGROUND Dental fear and anxiety (DFA) refers to the fear of and anxiety towards going to the dentist. It exists in a considerable proportion of children and adolescents and is a major dilemma in paediatric dental practice. However, temperament has been suggested to be a predictive factor for the child’s reaction to dental treatment especially in young ages. This study was done to assess the role of temperament in the levels of anxiety and cooperation in preschool and elementary school children in the dental office. METHODS This descriptive, cross-sectional study evaluated 70 preschools (4 - 6 years of age) and elementary school (7 - 10 years of age) children presenting to the paediatric dental clinic of TUMS School of Dentistry. The children were generally healthy and had at least one carious primary molar requiring pulp therapy or restorative treatment under local anaesthesia. The temperament trait of children was determined using the Persian version of Malhotra’s Temperament Schedule that measures the nine temperament traits identified by Thomas and Chess. Next, the cooperation and level of anxiety in children were determined during anaesthetic injection and cavity preparation using the Venham Clinical Cooperation Scale (VCCS) and Venham Clinical Anxiety Scale (VCAS). Data was analyzed using a regression model. RESULTS The temperament trait of children had a significant correlation with their parent’s education level (P = 0.038). Lower sociability scores were significantly correlated with higher level of anxiety and uncooperative behaviour of children during anaesthetic injection and cavity preparation (P < 0.05). Rhythmicity was significantly correlated with anxiety during anaesthetic injection, and higher intensity of response/energy was significantly correlated with poor cooperation of children during injection and higher anxiety during cavity preparation (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, the results of temperament trait can predict the behaviour of children and their level of anxiety and cooperation in the dental office setting.

Academic Hardiness

The purpose of the study was to establish the reliability, the structural and the convergent validity of the “Dimensions of Academic Hardiness Questionnaire” for late elementary school children. A sample of children (N = 1264) aged 10-12 years completed the questionnaire and the “Athens Coping Scale”. Multiple fit indices provided support that the 9-factor model had a good fit to the data. Reliability coefficients ranged from .68 to .83. The study provided also preliminary evidence of convergent validity of the “Dimensions of Academic Hardiness” scores with one theoretically related measure, the “Athens Coping Scale”. The results enrich the notion of Academic Hardiness in late elementary school children as the role of awareness and the role of children’s previous experiences has been distinguished. The relation between the “Dimensions of Academic Hardiness” and achievement goal orientations in children learning is also noted. These findings are discussed in the context of the relevant literature.

Abstract: Islamic character education for elementary school children is very important, as an effort to cultivate intelligence to students in thinking, and behaving in accordance with the noble values ​​that become their identity which can be realized in interaction with their God, themselves, others and their environment. School is a strategic place for character education because children from all walks of life will receive education at school. Additionally, children spent most of their time in school, so what they obtained in school will affect the formation of their character. To realize the generation that has good Islamic character, it is required to plant values of good personality into children. Therefore, the role of the educator is important, especially when it is in the process of teaching and learning. To instill Islamic character education for elementary school children, several methods need to be mastered by educators, such as parables, exemplary, habituation, advice (mauidhah), targhib and tarhib. With some of these methods, an educator can not only provide knowledge, but also internalize spiritual values ​​in his students. SD Plus Nurul Hikmah in Pamekasan prioritizes the formation of Islamic character for its implementation by using approaches, strategies and methods that are adapted to the character of students, and implemented through 15 programs of activities that contain Islamic character education.
