This research investigated the educational benefits of improving students’ performance associated with two types of teaching used in integrated disaster prevention lessons. Our research, experimental in nature, applied a pretest/posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 89 students in grade 5 at two primary schools near the Merapi volcano, which is under the Sleman regency of Yogyakarta Special Region Province, Indonesia. Students were classified into experimental and control groups. Using the same lesson content, delivered by one of our researchers, the experimental group was taught through discussions and the control group was taught through lectures. Findings showed that lectures improved two viewpoints in students’ knowledge – one regarding appropriate action taken while indoors during a big earthquake and the other about consequences of a big earthquake regarding a residential fire. Student viewpoints regarding their awareness of living in a disaster-prone area were also found to have improved through the use of lectures. Discussions were found to be helpful in improving only one viewpoint of students’ knowledge about appropriate actions while indoors during a big earthquake. Study results suggest that efforts should be made to develop effective education in volcanic disaster at school focusing on changes in students’ knowledge, attitude, and behavior.

Background: The age group susceptible to symptoms of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome begins in the early stages of puberty and ends at the menopause stage.The pathophysiology of Pre-Menstrual Syndrome is due to an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone hormones. One of the balancers of both hormones is the consumption of isoflavone food because the structure and its properties resemble estrogen.Objectives: The Purpose of this study was to analyzed the effect of nutritional education on the knowledge, attitude and behavior high food consumption of isoflavone content among female pre-menstrual syndrome.Method: The study was quasy experiment with pre- post control group design. The design of this research was the provision of nutrition education four times for 1 month with duration of each meeting 60 minutes and the provision of soy milk every meeting. The sample technique using simple random sampling total 38 respondents divided into 2 groups (treatment and control group). Preliminary screening to assess PMS using the Shortened Pramenstrual Assessment Form (SPAF) questionnaire. Dependent variable was knowledge, attitude and consumption behavior of isoflavone food, while independent variable was nutrition education.The analysis was performed using Independent t-test.Result: After nutrition education there was significant difference of knowledge and attitude level between treatment and control group respectively p value 0.039 and 0.022. In addition, there were also differences in high food consumption behavior of isoflavone content. The majority of food types are often consumed including: fried tempeh (p = 0.044), tofu (p = 0.036), garlic (p = 0.014) ice soybean milk (p = 0.044) and soybean milk (p = 0.004).Conclusion: Provision of nutrition education to the treatment group can change knowledge, attitude and behavior of high food consumption of isoflavone content, with the existence of increasing consumption behavior, than pre-menstrual syndrome symptoms at student of FKM UNAIR decreased slowly. Although not all types of foods high levels of isoflavones consumed by respondents due to limited time research.ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Kelompok umur yang rentan mengalami gejala Pre-Menstrual Syndrome dimulai pada tahap awal pubertas dan berakhir pada tahap menopause. Patofisiologi Pre-Menstrual Syndrome terjadi karena ketidakseimbangan hormon estrogen dan progesteron. Salah satu penyeimbang kedua hormon yaitu konsumsi pangan isoflavon karena struktur dan sifatnya menyerupai estrogen.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk untuk menganalisis pengaruh pendidikan gizi terhadap pengetahuan, sikap dan perilakukonsumsi pangan tinggi kadar isoflavon pada mahasiswi dengan premenstrual syndrome.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitianquasi experiment dengan pendekatan pre-post control group design. Rancang bangun penelitian ini yaitu pemberian intervensi pendidikan gizi 4x pertemuan selama 1 bulan dengan durasi masing-masing pertemuan 60 menit dan pemberian susu kedelai setiap pertemuan. Tehnik sampel menggunakan simple random sampling total 38 responden dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok (kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol). Skrining awal untuk menilai PMSmenggunakan kuesioner Shortened Pramenstrual Assessment Form (SPAF). Variabel dependen adalah pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku konsumsi pangan isoflavon, sedangkan variabel independen pendidikan gizi. Analisis yang dilakukan menggunakan uji t Independent.Hasil: Setelah diberikan pendidikan gizi terdapat perbedaan signifkan tingkat pegetahuan dan sikap antara kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol dengan nilai p masing-masing 0,039 dan 0,022. Selain itu juga terdapat perbedaan perilaku konsumsi pangan tinggi kadar isoflavon mayoritas jenis makanan sering dikonsumsi meliputi:tempe goreng (p=0,044), tahu (p=0,036), bawang putih (p=0,014) es susu kedelai (p=0,044) dan susu kedelai (p=0,004).Kesimpulan: Pemberian intervensi pendidikan gizi kepada kelompok perlakuan dapat merubah pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku konsumsi pangan tinggi kadar isoflavon, dengan adanya perilaku konsumsi yang meningkat, maka gejala pre-menstrual syndrome pada mahasiswi FKM UNAIR juga menurun secara perlahan. Walaupun belum semua jenis makanan yang tinggi kadar isoflavon dikonsumsi oleh responden dikarenakan keterbatasan waktu penelitian.

Indonesia is one of the five countries with the highest number of patients with tuberculosis (TB) worldwide, owing to patients being undetected and untreated. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Information, Motivation, and Behavior (IMB) Skill with “Trisna” approach on the management of drug compliance, nutritional status, and family support for patients with TB. This research is a quasi-experiment with pretest-posttest and control group design. Information about tuberculosis, medication adherence, nutritional status, family support and motivation are provided through training. At the end of training, each patient is given an alarm clock that can be used as a reminder to take medication. One form of family support is done by teaching the song “satu-satu” to remind patients to take medicine so as to minimize forgetting to take medicine. “TRISNA” is an attitude that accompanies TB cadres in providing health services to TB patioents. The socialization of the attitude of “TRISNA” was given by researchers to TB cadres before carrying out IMB training for TB patients. Compliance after intervention in the intervention group (mean, 10.80; SD, 0.98) was higher than in the control group (mean, 10.46; SD, 1.12) and effect size (ES) value of 4.16. Body mass index (BMI) in the intervention group (mean, 23.40; SD, 1.08) was higher than in the control group (mean, 21.43; SD, 0.75) and ES value of 1.95. Family support in the intervention group (mean, 106.28; SD, 22.00) was higher than in the control group (mean, 94.00; SD, 8.40) and ES value of 0.69.  In managing patients with TB, the provision of IMB Intervention Skill with “Trisna” approach could improve medication compliance, nutritional status, and family support.

Research findings in the field of Mathematics Education emphasize that storytelling is an effective instructional tool in the teaching of mathematics, as it provides a meaningful context that attracts students’ interest and makes learning a pleasant process. The use of stories and fairy tales in the teaching of mathematics motivates students to learn and provides students with an authentic context to understand mathematical concepts and procedures. It is a clear way to incorporate mathematics into other, broader cognitive domains and promotes mathematical discussion in the classroom. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the role that the use of storytelling can play in teaching fractions to third grade students. The study sample consisted of 76 third graders, who attended two primary schools in the city of Florina (Greece). This sample was divided into experimental (n=38) and control (n=38) group. In this study target-focused teaching stories were used. These stories were written in accordance with the objectives of a new Curriculum for rational numbers teaching. The study results showed that the use of storytelling had a positive effect on students’ achievement in fractions, as the experimental group performed significantly better than the control group. The students who benefited most from the use of storytelling were those with medium, especially, with low performance. Finally, the use of storytelling had a positive effect on specific mathematical skills, such as comparing fractions, finding equivalent fractions, creating and manipulating representations and problem solving.

AbstractBackground: The world is entering the post-outbreak period of the 2009 A H1N1 strain of the influenza virus. The strain is expected to continue spreading, as seasonal influenza viruses do each year. The majority of children have relatively low immunity and engage in activities at school where opportunities abound for exposure to and spreading of diseases.Objectives: We compared the effectiveness of influenza prevention by using non-pharmaceutical measures in primary schools.Methods: This study was conducted at two medium-sized primary schools in Nakhon Phanom province, Thailand. Multistage sampling was used to select students from Grades 4 to 6. The study group consisted of 230 students from the 2 schools and the control group 224 students from the 2 schools. The research included (a) 8 h of instruction on influenza-like illnesses and their prevention integrated into health promotion and physical education classes and (b) building understanding among parents and in the community. Data were analyzed for frequencies, percentages, and multiple logistic regression.Results: Non-pharmaceutical influenza interventions reduced the rate of influenza-like illnesses by 77% (AOR = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.15"0.36). Students who did not receive the influenza-like prevention and control training had a morbidity of 54.9%; whereas those who received the training had a morbidity of 23.5%. Overall, the group receiving the educational model saw a 57% reduction in its morbidity compared with the control group. The students in the intervention group who washed their hands for 20 seconds three or more times per day had a morbidity of 38.9%, which resulted in an overall reduction in morbidity of 36.4%. The morbidity rate of students who missed school because they were ill was 39.5%. When comparing training methods, the hand-washing group saw morbidity reduced by 34.7%, while simply receiving news and information from public health officials resulted in only a 29.2% reduction in morbidity. Overall, the group receiving the disease prevention and control training was able to reduce morbidity by 58.7%.Conclusion: Influenza prevention education among students was integrated into the health education curriculum. Children were taught hand-washing and respiratory etiquette (i.e., covering the nose and face when sneezing, coughing, and nose-blowing). Cartoon media were used as visual teaching aids. The results from this program helped to decrease the number of cases of influenza-like illness and morbidity among students and families.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the "patience training program" on the patience and life satisfaction levels of university students. The study was organized as a pre-test, post-test experiment and control group design. For a total of 30 students from which were 17 in the control group and 17 in the experimental group, patience training was given for 5 weeks. The "Patient Scale" developed by Schnitker (2010) and adapted to Turkish by Eliüşük and Arslan (2016) and the "Life Satisfaction Scale" developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen and Griffin (1985) and adapted to Turkish by Dağlı and Baysal (2016) were used as a data collection tool in the study. The "Wilcoxon" test was used for the comparison of in-group differences in the analysis of obtained data and the "Mann-Whitney U" test was used in examining the differences between the two groups. As a result of the study, it was observed that the patience and life satisfaction average scores of students in the experimental group receiving "patience training" increased significantly, while there was no significant difference in the patience and life satisfaction averages scores of the control group students.

ABSTRACT The process of learning chemistry which only focused on teacher as informant caused the students’ memory lower. This could make the students’ learning outcomes lower, thus, it was needed STAD type of Cooperative Learning Method which had the process of interaction between student and teacher, and could help the students comprehend the material. Therefore, it was necessary to make a research which had the purpose to know the difference between students’ learning outcomes and memory which used STAD type ofCooperative Learning Method and lectures teaching method as well as how large the effect of STAD type of Cooperative Learning Method on salt hydrolysis material was. This research was Quasi Experimental Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample of the research was choosen by using saturated sampling which XI IPA 1 as experimental class and XI IPA 2 as control class. The techniques of data collection used measurement technique, observation, and interview while the tools of data collection used tests such as essayquestion, observation sheet, and interview guide. The statistical analysis of posttest result using U-man whitney test obtained significant value 0.000. This value was smaller than α (0.005) which meant that there was difference in learning outcome between experimental and control class. The statistical analysis result of U-man whitney delayed test obtained significant value 0.006, this value was smaller than α (0.005) which meant that there was difference between students’ memory in experimental and control class. The calculation of effect size showed value 1.64 with high criteria which gave high effect on students’ learning outcomes which was 44.95%, while the calculation of students’ memory effect size showed value 0.69 with moderate criteria which gave effect on students’ memory which was 26,42%.
