This study aims to examine the existence of learning material related to educational issues regarding low-carbon levels. Through the content analysis, 26 primary school science textbooks from ten publishers in Indonesia were reviewed, focusing on the study covering the selection, presentation, provision of supporting materials, and low-carbon issues. The research method used is the qualitative content analysis process method with research steps: 1) Data collection; 2) Data analysis textbook; and 3) Ethical considerations. The results showed that sixty one point six percent of teachers said the book was under the curriculum's coverage. The sixty point six percent of the relevance of content to student experiences was appropriate, so is the fifty three point five percent of the relevance of examples and exercises with learning objectives and the material presented. It is also found that fifty five point six percent of various questions and discussions were adequate for testing students, the other fifty one point five percent had included supporting questions and exercises, and sixty point six percent of teachers said there was a teacher's guide. Then fifty point five percent, according to the teacher, students' awareness of low carbon is still relatively low, and forty six point six percent of the content coverage regarding low carbon is still considered sufficient by the teacher. This study concludes that there was too little coverage of low-carbon issues and a lack of additional material related to the low-carbon content in primary science textbooks. The topic of low carbon is still implicit in the environmental literacy found in textbooks. The follow-up that can be done is providing a low-carbon concept to science textbooks in primary schools so that our students and society will have low-carbon awareness and increased environmental literacy.

Abstract Background: Engagement of schools in malaria control is an emerging strategy. Little is known about involvement of students on malaria message developments. This study evaluated message contents of primary school students’ malaria poems.Methods: A qualitative content analysis was conducted to explore malaria messages conveyed in poems produced by students. Twenty poems were purposively selected from twenty schools across rural villages in five districts of Jimma Zone. Data were analysed using Atlas.ti version 7.1.4 software. Message contents and metaphors were presented using central themes and categories in supportive quotations. Finally, message contents were quantified in frequency. Results: The ages of the poetic students ranged from 12 to19 years old. A total of 602 specific malaria contents generated. The contents were put into 21 categories under five central themes. Contents about malaria-related knowledge include causation and modes of transmission, mosquito breeding and biting, signs and symptoms, caring for insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), and ways of prevention. The poems conveyed the perception of threats from malaria. Effectiveness of prevention methods was profoundly reported related to adaption of ITNs, environmental cleaning, indoor residual spray (IRS), treatment for fever, and drug adherence practices. Misconceptions, beliefs, and malpractices were mentioned in the poems pertaining to causes and drug-use. Direct calls were present to adopt ITN, IRS, clean surroundings, treatment, and drug use. Message about the severity of malaria, distinguishable signs and symptoms, manifest calls to community participation towards malaria elimination, knowledge of preventive ways, and effectiveness of ITN use were the most commonly conveyed contents. Metaphoric expressions (war and death) were used to convey messages about severity and the need to manage the prognosis of malaria through active ITN utilization, which itself was metaphorically represented ‘a trap’ to mosquitoes. Conclusion: Poetic content analysis indicated that students in primary schools are considerable malaria messages source, particularly in rural settings. Involving students in malaria programs would effectively communicate knowledge, perceptions, and promote practices by using local metaphors that set learning contexts.

Ratkaisukeskeisen ilmastokasvatuksen tavoitteena on oppia tietoja ja taitoja, joiden avulla opitaan vähentämään ilmastopäästöjä ja sopeutumaan ilmastonmuutokseen parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla. Ilmastonmuutoksen hillintä ja siihen sopeutuminen vaatii onnistuessaan myös tunteiden huomioon ottamista. Ilmastokasvatuksessa toivon ylläpitäminen on mahdollista merkityksiä luovien toimintastrategioiden avulla. Oleellista on, että oppija pohtii tekojensa merkityksellisyyttä, minkä avulla voidaan välttää toiveajattelua. Alakoulussa ilmastokasvatus perustuu tutkivaan oppimiseen ja dialogiseen, oppijan arkikäsityksen huomioon ottavaan vuorovaikutukseen. Vuorovaikutuksellinen opetus sitouttaa oppijat opetukseen. Artikkelissa pohditaan ilmastokasvatuksen toteutumista alakoulun oppilaiden näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen aineisto kerättiin avoimella kyselylomakkeella kahdeksasta alakoulun luokasta, viidestä eri koulusta. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu 152 oppilaan vastauksista. Vastaukset analysoitiin laadullisella sisällönanalyysillä ja teemoitettiin fenomenografisesti eri käsitekategorioihin. Käsitekategoriat muodostuivat neljästä teemasta: 1) Uuden oppimisesta, 2) kiinnostuksen lisääntymisestä, 3) ilmaston-muutokseen liittyvästä toivosta ja 4) ilmastonmuutokseen liittyvästä surusta.   Primary school pupils' experiences on the implementation of intentional climate change education: observations on learning and emotions Abstract The goal of intentional climate change education is to learn the knowledge and skills to reduce climate emissions and adapt to climate change in the best possible way. Mitigating and adapting to climate change also requires taking emotions into account. In climate change education hope is possible to maintain through meaningful coping strategies. It is essential that the learner reflects on the significance of his or her actions and thus avoids unnecessary wishful thinking. In primary school, climate education is based on inquiry-based learning and dialogical interaction that considers the learner's everyday thinking. Interactive learning process helps to engage learners. This article considers the implementation of climate education from the perspective of primary school pupils. The research material was collected with an open questionnaire from eight primary school classes from five different schools. The research material consists of 152 pupils’ answers. The responses were analysed by qualitative content analysis and were phenomenographically themed into different concept categories. The concept categories consisted of four themes: 1) learning from the new, 2) increasing interest, 3) hope related to climate change, and 4) grief related to climate change. Keywords: intentional climate change education, hope, primary school

This study applied the Porter’s alignment model to construct a localized two-dimensional framework based on Anderson's taxonomy. The research chose the third-grade primary school science textbooks from two representative presses in China and Japan, coded the textbooks and curriculum standards, calculated the alignment level between the textbooks of the two presses and their corresponding curriculum standards, and discussed the alignment level from the topic, cognitive demand, and emphasis. The results show that the B version in Japan is significantly aligned with the Japanese curriculum standard, but the A version in China does not have significant alignment with the Chinese curriculum standard. Besides, a common problem is that the ratios of life science in sample science textbooks both exceed the requirements of the curriculum standards, and the problems of exceeding the standard in cognitive demand and not highlighting the key points also need to be concerned. This study provides ideas and references for countries with similar educational situations to study the compilation of science textbooks and fills up the deficiency of the international comparison of the alignment between primary school science textbooks and curriculum standards by using the alignment model.

Aim of this empirical study was to obtain a profile of professionals providing career counselling at primary schools in Zlín District (called career counsellors), map the material conditions, propagation and availability of career counselling at schools, including office hours of career counsellors, identification of information sources career counsellors use, ways of their cooperation with pupils’ parents in deciding about further education, what are the other subjects career counsellors cooperate with, discovering problems connected to career counselling at primary schools, comparison of the level of accordance of our results with the results of researches in the field of career counselling realized at the schools in previous years and creating a vision of primary school career counselling. Empirical data collection was carried out in the school year 2013/2014 through electronic questionnaires and content analysis. Quantitative analysis of the questionnaire data confirmed findings of previous researches, that career counsellors are usually teachers with long practice and experience, who perform the function of education counsellor. Improvement appeared both in the field of professional training and in material support and working environment of career counsellors. Analysis further showed that career counsellors belong amongst important factors providing pupils with information concerning the options of further education and through the part they take in the teaching of the educational area Man and the World of Work they help pupils to create a realistic professional goal and provide them with necessary competences. Apart from the positives the analysis discovered also some insufficiencies—in cooperation both with parents and regional companies—potential future employers of pupils finishing the school. Qualitative content analysis enabled to identify problems in career counselling and visions of career counsellors about how should the career counselling and primary schools should look like.
