The article presents results of an empirical study on the key factors of difficulties in the formation of basic educational competencies in primary school children. The sample of the study involved 154 schoolchildren of a comprehensive school who were studied longitudinally for 5 years at different age stages: at preschool age, at the beginning of the first grade and at the end of the fourth grade. In fourth-grade schoolchildren, aged 10 to 11, we studied the ability to understand text while reading, the ability to solve mathematical problems, establish patterns in a number series, and also to perform tasks by analogy. The study used 12 methods of psychological and neuropsychological diagnostics which contained criteria for identifying procedural learning difficulties, characteristics of memorization and attention, hand-eye coordination of each student. A comparative analysis of the research results revealed the preconditions of difficulties in applying learning competencies in fourth-grade students. A set of psychological and neuropsychological indicators was identified, which enabled us to differentiate between the factors contributing to mathematical, linguistic and complex difficulties in the formation of learning competencies. These factors included problems in intellectual and cognitive sphere and procedural difficulties revealed in preschool and primary school children. The most significant precondition for all types of learning difficulties was the insufficient development of independent working skills at the beginning of schooling. The research results can be used to organize timely psychological and pedagogical assistance to students to prevent the occurrence of learning difficulties.

Background: Pinworm infection remains a global public health problem in Indonesia, with the highest prevalence in primary school–aged children. The government has made helminthiasis control efforts through annual deworming every six months, yet data on the enterobiasis prevalence and its risk factors are still limited. Purpose: This research aimed to determine the role of personal hygiene and anthelmintic or worm medicine consumption in the prevention of enterobiasis among primary school children. Methods: This research employed an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional design. The population used was primary school children in the Public Health Center (PHC) of Kaliwungu area, Kendal District, Central Java Province. The research sample was 150 students from first grade to third grade at 1 Primary Elementary School 1 Kutoharjo. The data sources were obtained from interviews of risk factors and perianal swab examinations. The data were analyzed by a chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of pinworm infection among primary school children remains high (37.33%). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that there are three determinant variables of pinworm infections: not washing hands with soap before eating (p < 0.01; Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) = 6.47; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 2.87 < POR < 14.59); not washing hands with soap after defecation (p = 0.01; POR = 3.36; 95% CI = 1.40 < POR < 8.05); and not consuming anthelmintic drugs within the past six months (p = 0.03; POR = 2.43; 95% CI = 1.08 < POR < 5.50). Conclusion: Hand washing habits and annual deworming are important factors to prevent pinworm infections.

AbstractBackground and purpose: One of the main benefits of breakfast-eating habit for schoolchildren is to maintain the attention-concentration. The current trend shows a steady decline in the breakfast-eating habit among primary school children. This present study aims to examine the association between breakfast-eating habit and attention-concentration in primary school children.  Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 160 primary school students year 5 and 6. Samples were selected from six public primary schools within two villages. There were a total of 16 classes of year 5 and 6 in these six schools, and five classes were selected randomly. All students from the selected classes included in the study. Attention-concentration was measured using a digit symbol test, and breakfast-eating habit and total calories intake were measured using the recall 24 hours and a standardised questionnaire. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression was employed to examine the association between breakfast-eating habit and attention-concentration.Results: The majority of students were found to have good concentration (60.63%), with breakfast-eating habit (75.00%), and consumed sufficient amount of calories (53.13%). Our multivariate analysis found a significant association between breakfast-eating habit and attention-concentration among schoolchildren (AOR=14.0; 95%CI: 4,9–67,8).Conclusions: Students with breakfast-eating habit tend to have a good attention-concentration. The total calories intake during breakfast is not associated with attention-concentration among primary school students in Badung District.
