This study evaluated the effectiveness of a vicarious contact intervention program for improving knowledge and attitudes of Jewish-Israeli secular and religious children regarding their ingroup and three outgroups: secular/religious Jews, Ethiopian-descendant Jews, and Arabs. One hundred and nine kindergartners participated in a four-week intervention, in which experimenters introduced to them four persona dolls representing the different groups. Accompanied by stories, children were exposed to the dolls’ individual and group characteristics, and to positive encounters between the dolls. A pre- and post-test battery assessed the intervention’s effects on children’s intergroup knowledge and attitudes. Findings revealed an increase in children’s knowledge of the groups, improvements in religious children’s attitudes towards Arabs, and in both secular and religious children’s willingness to sit closer to Ethiopian-descendant children. These findings highlight the potential of indirect contact for reducing intergroup bias in young children living in multicultural and conflict-ridden societies.

We aimed to contribute to a shift in higher education teaching and learning methods by considering problem-based learning (PBL) as an approach capable of positively affecting students from a geology and environment (GE) curricular unit. In a convenience sample from a Portuguese public university, two groups of students were defined: (1) an experimental group (n = 16), to which an intervention program (IP) based on PBL was applied, and (2) a comparison group (n = 17), subjected to the traditional teaching approach. For nine weeks, students subject to the IP faced four problem scenarios about different themes. A triangulation of methods was chosen. The study involved two phases: (1) qualitative (sustained on content analysis of driving questions raised by students, registered in a monitoring sheet) and (2) quantitative (quasi-experimental study, based on data from a prior and post-test knowledge assessment). The qualitative results point to the development of more complex cognitive-level questioning skills after increasing familiarity with PBL. The data obtained in the quantitative study, which included both a “within-subjects” and a “between-subjects” design, show higher benefits in the experimental group, documenting gains in terms of scientific knowledge when using the PBL methodology.

Background: Lactating mothers were successful in giving exclusive breastfeeding as much as 42% based on SDKI (Survei Demografi Kesehatan Indonesia) in 2012. This is depend on the support of husbands and families as well as health workers. Thus, the husband or family should remind and motivate mothers as well as monitor the breastfeeding activity every day for 6 months using breastfeeding calendar.Objectives: This study aimed to determine the increase in knowledge and attitudes of mothers in providing exclusive breastfeeding after the exclusive breastfeeding calendar training.Materials and Methods: The research design used a quasi-experimental one group pre-test post-test design. This research was conducted on mothers who had babies (age 0-12 months) in Pasawahan Village and Pasawahan Kidul Village, Pasawahan District, Purwakarta Regency in April to November 2018, with 96 respondents. The sampling technique was conducted by purposive sampling. Data were collected by giving questionnaires to respondents, before and after the breastfeeding calendar training were given. The Wilcoxon test was used for the analysis of the data in this study.Results: The results showed that there were differences in the knowledge of mothers before and after training on breastfeeding calendar (p <0,000) and there were differences in the attitudes of mothers before and after the training on breastfeeding calendar (p <0,000).Conclusions: There was an increase in knowledge and changes in the attitude of mothers towards exclusive breastfeeding after being given the breastfeeding Calendar training. Therefore, suggestions for health workers, especially midwives and nutrition workers, can use the breastfeeding calendar as an educational medium to increase husband and family support in exclusive breastfeeding.

Children's Attitudes

A survey designed to measure attitudes toward handicapped persons was administered to 92 young, nonhandicapped children. Nine of the subjects, who had previously reported more favorable attitudes as a result of participation in a structured integration program, continued to demonstrate these gains 2 years later. The remaining 83 subjects had never participated in a structured integration program. Analysis of the responses of the 92 children according to type of contact and the time at which contact occurred suggested that contact per se, regardless of type or timing, can produce more favorable attitudes among young children than an absence of contact.

Background: Flooding due to Citarum river overflowing is a natural phenomenon that is almost common every year, especially for the area around Citarum Dayeuhkolot. Floods cause various health problems, such as Dengue Haemorogic Fever (DHF). The high incidence of environmental-based infectious diseases in flood-prone villages in Dayeuhkolot is caused by problems in the health determinant factor which is associated with the still low awareness of the community that supports clean and healthy lifestyle behaviors (PHBS). Objective: To determine the effect of DHF prevention education on elementary school students' knowledge and attitudes. Methods: Quasi-experimental research design with pre-test and post-test design. The study was conducted at Bojong Asih Elementary School, Pasawahan Elementary School, Cangkuang Elementary School, and Leuwi Bandung Elementary School in 2017. The samples in this study were all students in grades 4- 6 totaling 323 people. All students were given a questionnaire before the intervention and then given counseling about the prevention of DHF and given a questionnaire again to measure the level of knowledge and attitudes. Data analysis uses descriptive univariate analysis and bivariate t test. The approach method in this research uses the Integrated UKS method.

El presente artículo presenta los efectos de un programa de intervención dirigido a madres de nadadores para promover el desarrollo de conductas autodeterminadas en sus hijos. Participaron 13 mamás de nadadores del equipo Centro Acuático de Mérida (CAM), con un rango de edad de 27 y 52 años, y sus hijos nadadores con un rango de edad de 9 a 16 años. Para medir la motivación autodeterminada se utilizó el Cuestionario Sociodemográfico de Hábitos y Motivos Deportivos, además de la Global Motivation Scale (GMS-28) (Guay, Mageau & Vallerand, 1999), traducida al español por Grijalvo, Fernández, Núñez y Martín-Albo (2011). Los resultados obtenidos de la prueba pre-test y post-test fueron analizados mediante la prueba t de comparación de medias para muestras relacionadas. Los resultados reportados señalan que la intervención constituyó una herramienta para promover cambios en la motivación de los deportistas, debido a que, se observó una variación en los tipos de motivación evaluadas por la escala aplicada. Se puede concluir que las madres de hijos deportistas cumplen un papel de suma importancia para desarrollar o no conductas autodeterminadas en los deportistas. Abstract. This article presents the effects of an intervention program directed to swimmers’ mothers to promote the development of self-determined behavior in their children. The sample was comprised of 13 mothers of swimmers from the Aquatic Center Merida (CAM) team, aged 27 to 52, and their swimmer children, aged 9 to 16 years. The Sociodemographic Habits and Sports Motives Questionnaire and the Global Motivation Scale (GMS-28) (Guay, Mageau & Vallerand, 1999), translated into Spanish by Grijalvo, Fernandez Nunez and Martin-Albo (2011), were used to measure self-determined motivation. Results of pre-test and post-test were obtained by running students’ t tests for related samples. Our outcomes indicate that the intervention represented a suitable tool to promote changes in athletes’ motivation, since we observed significant variations in the types of motivation assessed. It can be concluded that mothers could play a major role in developing self-determined behaviors in their children athletes.

ABSTRAKSampah adalah material sisa, yang diproduksi ke alam baik dalam bentuk padatan, cair, ataupun gas. Permasalahan sampah merupakan masalah yang besar di Desa Pemurus RT 001B dikarenakan cara pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga hanya dibuang ke sungai. Oleh karena itu diperlukan edukasi mengenai pengelolaan sampah. Pengelolaan sampah merupakan kegiatan yang sistematis, menyeluruh, dan berkesinambungan yang meliputi pengurangan dan penanganan sampah. Namun, karena Pandemi Covid-19 intervensi Pengalaman Belajar Lapangan (PBL) I dimodifikasi menjadi penyuluhan dengan menggunakan media poster, leaflet, booklet dan juga video edukasi mengenai upaya pengelolaan sampah yang dikirimkan langsung ke masyarakat. Kegiatan PBL II yang dilakukan secara daring menggunakan media aplikasi grup WhatsApp. Berdasarkan hasil pre-post test yang dilakukan dengan 14 peserta diketahui bahwa terdapat peningkatan dari hasil pre-test dengan hasil post-test. Berdasarkan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pengolahan sampah terjadi peningkatan dengan nilai Sig (0,004)>0,05. Berdasarkan sikap masyarakat mengenai pengolahan sampah terjadi peningkatan dengan nilai Sig (0,031)>0,05. Diharapkan kepada masyarakat agar ikut berperan aktif untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap mengenai pengelolaan sampah khususnya yang ada di Desa Pemurus RT 001B melalui penyuluhan sehingga nantinya dapat menciptakan derajat kesehatan yang lebih baik. Kata kunci: pengelolaan sampah; desa pemurus rt 001b; penyuluhan. ABSTRACTWaste is waste material, which is produced in nature in the form of solid, liquid, or gas. The waste problem is a big problem in Pemurus Village RT 001B because the way of managing household waste is only thrown into the river. Therefore, education about waste management is needed. Waste management is a systematic, comprehensive, and sustainable activity that includes waste reduction and handling.

Introduction: Tsunami in Indonesia become a threat to society, especially for vulnerable groups. Primary school students are one of the vulnerable groups that should have adequate preparedness both in their knowledge and attitudes in facing the tsunami. To support the preparedness, a tabletop tsunami simulator has been developed. Objective: To describe the tsunami preparedness of school-age children and to assess the impact of the tabletop tsunami simulator on the knowledge and attitudes of school children towards tsunamis. Methods: The study design was a one group pre-test – post-test design with a total participant of 157 students. The research instrument used was a tabletop tsunami simulator and a questionnaire to assess knowledge and attitude towards tsunamis. The statistical test used was the Mann Whitney test. The inclusion criteria included primary school 5th and 6th grade students, had a smartphone, and were willing to be participants. The data was collected using Google form and had obtained ethical approval number 62/SDS/KEPK/TL/VI/2020. Result: The Mann Whitney test showed a significant effect between the tabletop tsunami simulator and the participants’ knowledge of tsunamis with a p-value of 0.000 (p-value <0.05). In the attitude variable, an increase in the attitude score between the pre-test and post-test was also observed. The average attitude score increased from 32.99 to 34.97, with a p-value = 0.000. Conclusion: There is a significant effect between the tabletop tsunami simulator with the participants’ knowledge and attitudes in facing the threat of a tsunami.
