Abstract. The purpose of this study is twofold: 1) to develop a service-learning-based module training artificial intelligence (AI) subject (SLBM-TAIS), and 2) to evaluate the effect of SLBM-TAIS on pre-service teachers’ (PSTs’) practical knowledge and motivation, as well as primary school students' attitude towards AI in China. Participants of this study comprised 60 PSTs and 107 primary school students. The experimental research in this study followed the quasi-experimental non-randomized pre-test and post-test control group design. The PSTs were divided into experimental and control groups, and the primary school students followed the same grouping. The PSTs in the experimental group taught AI subjects to the primary school students in the experimental group, while the PSTs in the control group taught AI subjects to the primary school students in the control group. The results of the study showed that SLBM-TAIS was effective in training PSTs to teach AI subjects to primary school students. Furthermore, the SLBM-TAIS developed in this study offered a unique technique for training PSTs and primary school students that could increase PSTs' practical knowledge and motivation, as well as primary school students' attitudes toward AI. The findings from this study are important in the field of educational psychology, and its contribution has several theoretical and practical implications.   Keywords: Attitude; artificial intelligence; pre-service teachers; primary school students; practical knowledge; motivation

Background: In 2016, the number of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) patients in Southeast Sulawesi has reported as much as 3,433 cases with IR 132.50 per 100,000 populations. The highest case incidence in Kendari reached 1,093 cases (IR = 372.80 per 100,000 population) with the highest cases in the age group 5-14 years reaching 44.9%. This study aims to examine the effect of snake-ladders modification game, as an educative game, for improving DHF prevention in terms of attitudes and behavior of scout students in elementary school.Method: The study is a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest group design by using purposive sampling. The subject is 50 students of Primary School Scouts in the working area of Puskesmas Poasia, Kendari City. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed by Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests.Results: There is an increase of knowledge (p < 0,001), attitudes (p < 0,001), and practices (p < 0,001) of primary school students in the prevention of DHF by providing educational game through snake-ladders modification. It recommends that educational game needs to be developed for health education in elementary students.

This investigation evaluated the Growth Psychoeducation Intervention (GPI) designed to increase primary school students’ covitality, a construct describing the beneficial combinatorial effects of positive psychological skills and mindsets. Students with higher covitality levels have stronger relationships with their teachers and classmates, and behave in more positive ways. This GPI intervention study employed a pretest-posttest-follow quasi-experimental design to evaluate a culturally adapted group counseling intervention designed to foster Chinese senior primary school students’ (n = 189, ages 9–12 years) covitality levels. The hypothesis was that covitality increases would positively correlate with school belonging and life satisfaction and less frequent bullying victimization. The Social Emotional Health Survey-Primary (SEHS-P) assessed the effectiveness of the GPI eight-week program to promote mental health and decrease bullying. GPI demonstrated effectiveness by improving students’ covitality and school belonging and reducing bullying victimization.

The Impact

The study aimed to measure the effect of teaching programming using Scratch on Self-motivation towards learning programming for primary school students in Riyadh. Twenty-five 4th-grade students participated in the study. A quasi-experimental design was applied. Pre and post-tests were utilized using a motivational scale towards learning programming designed by the researchers to include three dimensions: perseverance, ambition and enjoyment. Participants received Scratch lessons for the duration of a semester. The results showed significant differences in favor of the post-test in all dimensions of the scale. In addition, students' self-motivation towards learning programming has improved by 22.8% in the average rate of the scale. The results showed the improvement rate of students' self-motivation towards learning programming to the scale axes (perseverance, ambition, enjoyment) as follows: 20.9%, 23.8%, and 23.6% respectively. Moreover, the order of items and the improvement rate were different according to the pre-test and post-test; although all the items were positive.

Abstract Background: Unequivocally; malaria becomes major health problems among school children. Evidences of coordinated school engaged social and behavior change communication (SBCC) strategy is required to curb the disease; thus keeping momuntem to malaria eliemination. This study examined effectiveness of schools engaged SBCC approach on use of insecticide treated nets (ITNs) among primary school students in malaria endemic settings of Ethiopia.Methods: The school-community engaged SBCC intervention involving various educational and capacity building activities was implemented from Oct.2016 to Sept.2018 in 75 rural schools of Jimma to promote malaria preventive practices both at schools and community levels. A quasi-experimental evaluation design was employed enrolling 798 randomly sampled primary school students (399 interventions and 399 controls). Data were collected using structured questionnaires by interveirwers and analyzed using SPSS 26 Amoss software. Propensity score matching (PSM) technique was applied to create approparite matching. Chi-square and general linear model was conducted to estimate the average effects of the intervention for dichotomous and continous outcomes respectively.Finally; multivariable logistic regression modelling was done to indentify predictors of ITN use. P-value < 5% was considered for statistical significance. Results: Effects of the interventions were observed on all measured psychographic dimensions with self-efficacy (β =25.87, 95% CI: 22.77-28.97) and perception of malaria threat (β =6.38, 95% CI: 4.08-8.68) showing highest and lowest effects respectively. Importantly; a difference of 39% (95% CI: 32.18-45.91) was observed with respect to ITN use between intervention and control groups. Multivarible logistic regression showed access to one and more ITN per two family members was associated to ITN use (AOR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.01-3.07). Similarily; unit increase in self-efficacy (β=0.101, 95% CI: 1.22-2.32), multidimesional knowledge (β=0.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.06) and family support (β=0.04, 95% CI: 1.02-1.06) improve use of ITN by 10%, 4%, and 4% respectively.Conclusion: This study suggested that SBCC impelemetation that draw on combination of various interpersonal communication and stakeholders’ engagement approaches were effective promoting sustained malaria preventive behaviours in school going children. Indeed; it’s important to account for message contents and communication methods targeted to influence knowledge, risk perceptions and behavioral skills combined with family supports, access to ITNs and beyond

Mathematics remains an essential part of the education system in the educational landscape of Nigeria. It is a compulsory subject at all levels of education and a prerequisite for academic transition. Thus, proficiency in the basic concepts of mathematic is essential for educational progression and better adjustment in contemporary society. However, the subject has been fraught with challenges ranging from learner characteristics to instructional strategies. Intimations point to the prevalence of poor mathematical skills among rural students in the Kogi state of Nigeria. The present study aimed to test the effect of improvising instructional materials on improving math-related skills among students in the states rural communities. The population of the study included primary school students. One hundred and eighty-six primary 5 and 6 students constituted the study samples. A quasi-experimental design was used. The result established a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group on math skills. The study concludes that improvisation of mathematics instructional materials is a widely researched approach that could enhance the mathematics skills of primary school students in rural communities. The findings and recommendations are discussed.
