Internet Literacy

The era of melinium is a global information transformation event that focuses on promoting online interaction. All the needs of our lives become facilitated and we feel spoiled because it is very fast to get information. A place that provides free internet and waifi services is very available. Communication vehicles such as Mobile (HP) are very easy and inexpensive to get by the public. The problem is, HP is not only used by adults but also school-age children. The internet provides a variety of positive and negative information. Whereas elementary school age children are not mature enough to make a selection of various information that has a negative impact. Mahasaraswati University (Unmas) Denpasar Regional Partnership Program (PKW) team looked at this problem by providing assistance to provide positive internet literacy in the hope of guiding students to good behavior as a basis for character education. The problem formulated is whether positive internet literacy can be a vehicle for character education for elementary school age students? The method of mentoring in the form of counseling, and training to students in the Semeru cluster in Melaya village and the Tambora cluster in the village of Candikusuma in Melaya sub-district includes 15 elementary schools. Students in primary school age are individuals who are potential, talented, creative and willing to try something very high. Through mentoring it can be seen that students are very enthusiastic, interested and able to learn and access positive information for development and support the learning process. Through positive internet literacy students can understand that the internet provides an opportunity to absorb a variety of positive information. This psychological atmosphere is a strong foundation for character building for elementary school students. The interesting thing is the support of schools, committees and supervisors by increasing internet interpretation, library application facilities and mentoring from educators and stakeholders.

Reading Opening Window The world is a pearl word that describes the importance of reading habits among people. Reading can provide a wealth of knowledge and information from different disciplines in any part of the world. Seeing this, reading has an important role to educate the next generation of the nation. The term reading culture will be a mere discourse if it does not begin with reading habits from an early age. It is the habit that will build the reading culture in Indonesia. According to data from UNESCO in 2012 mentioned that reading interest in Indonesia is only 0.001. That is every 1000 residents only one person who has an interest in reading. The low interest in reading in Indonesia is of particular concern to academics. Teras Library is one of the solutions to instill interest and reading habits in elementary school early on. The habit that is planted early on can be a character that is embedded in students to adulthood. The Teras Library will bring the book closer to the students so that students can read the book casually according to the characteristics of elementary school-age children. With the cultivation of interest and reading habit from an early age, it is expected in the long run there is no longer the term "Generation Zero Book" in Indonesia.

Level Of Knowledge

Background: The balanced  nutrition  paradigm is currently unknown  to  the  general public, especially school-age children. The old paradigm of four healthy five perfects is still taught in schools. Whereas in the new paradigm of balanced nutrition, in addition to the principle of nutrition that must be consumed in a balanced manner, there is another message that must be conveyed, namely physical activity at least 30 minutes every day, regular exercise, drinking 8 glasses of water a day, washing hands before and after eating and always monitor your weight. Purpose: This community service activity aims to improve balanced nutrition knowledge in elementary school age children. Method: The method of community service is through lectures and games for ice breaking so that the atmosphere becomes more fun. Results: Most of the students of SDN Kalisari 1 Surabaya were female (54%), 10 years old (62%), and parents had jobs in the “other” category namely construction workers, janitors and farm workers (38%). As many as 83% of students have breakfast habits and 88% of students often access the internet. The level of student’s knowledge of balanced nutrition is included in the sufficient category (59%). There is a difference in the level of knowledge before and after counseling about the concept of balanced nutrition (α = 0.04). Conclusion: Efforts to increase knowledge of balanced nutrition with counseling and game methods are considered effective because there is a significant increase in the level of knowledge of SDN Kalisari 1 Surabaya students.

Different Types

Purpose This study reports on data from a survey of speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) language assessment practices for elementary school–age children. The objective was to investigate the regularity with which SLPs use different types of assessments (described across data types, task types, environmental contexts, and dynamic features). This study also investigated factors that influence assessment practice, the main sources from which SLPs obtain information on language assessment and the main challenges reported by SLPs in relation to language assessment. Method A web-based survey was used to collect information from 407 Australian SLPs regarding the types of assessments they use. Factors that influenced the regularity with which different types of assessments were used were investigated using regression analysis. Results Most SLPs regularly used assessments that are norm-referenced, decontextualized, and conducted in a clinical context and less regularly used other types of assessments. Service agency, Australian state, and SLPs' years of experience were found to influence the regularity with which some types of assessments were used. Informal discussions with colleagues were the most frequently identified source of information on assessment practice. Main challenges related to limited time, lack of assessment materials, and lack of confidence in assessing children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Conclusions SLPs could improve current language assessment practice for elementary school–age children through more regular use of some types of assessments. Actions to facilitate evidence-based assessment practice should consider the contextual differences that exist between service agencies and states and address challenges that SLPs experience in relation to language assessment.
