Teacher education programs are tasked with a myriad of responsibilities to help improve the quality of future teachers. Despite the constraints of using non-licensed teachers in a public classroom setting in order for the pre-service teacher to gain experience, a Teaching Assistant (TA) program has been implemented in a university setting and thus removing the logistical obstacles pre-service teachers face. Using a preparation for future learning model, pre-service teachers enrolled in a human learning and development course engaged in activities that ranged from mentoring students, developing grading rubrics, and grading student assignments. Triangulation of qualitative data showcases the importance of assessment (i.e., feedback) and the pre-service teacher's identity as emergent themes. Discussion of possible design iterations to the TA program and its potential impact are discussed.

Physiology is a core requirement in the undergraduate biomedical engineering curriculum. In one or two introductory physiology courses, engineering students must learn physiology sufficiently to support learning in their subsequent engineering courses and careers. As preparation for future learning, physiology instruction centered on concepts may help engineering students to further develop their physiology and biomedical engineering knowledge. Following the Backward Design instructional model, a series of seven concept-based lessons was developed for undergraduate engineering students. These online lessons were created as prerequisite physiology training to prepare students to engage in a collaborative engineering challenge activity. This work is presented as an example of how to convert standard, organ system-based physiology content into concept-based content lessons.

Background:The one of development tasks for preschooler that must be passed is toileting activity. Toileting learning need should start at toodler phase, but many children still enuresis experience in the classroom, all students could not do proper toileting, including not knowing how to go to the toilet, not being able to open the pants and not being able to flush the elimination urine and defecatie in Kindergarden-class A of Malang City. Inability to control of elimination urine that cause of pre schooler are less independece for toileting activity.Purpose: to find out the effect of toilet training mediated with animated videos againts to  independence level of toileting on pre schooler children in kindergarten-class A of Malang City.Methods: This type of research was analytic observation with a pre-experimental approach. The total population was 38 children, the number of samples 38 children was taken using the total sampling technique. The variable measured is the level of independence of toileting. The data was processed then analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with α <0.05.Results: Based on the results of the study, the level of independence before toileting learning was done 21% independently and 79% not independently. The level of independence after toileting learning is 100% done independently.Wilcoxon test was analyzed, the level of independence was obtained with a p-value of 0,000 which means that p-value <α so that H0 is rejected, which means there is an influence of the learning activity of animated videos on the level of independence of toileting.Conclusion:Based on the results of the study, to improve children's independence, in terms of toileting, can be done early and in the future learning, animated video media can be used as an alternative as a learning media for pre-schooler.
