Dental healthcare is very important since dental and oral hygiene should be maintained. Statistics showed that more than 80% of children in developed and developing countries suffer from dental disease. This study aimed to see the safety of OHIS (Oral Hygiene Index Simplified) in primary school students who got and did not get little dentist cadre training in Bangli Regency in 2019. The study was done in an experimental design: pre and post-test with control design, which was conducted in August-September 2019. The sample in this study is 366 students. The difference in OHIS scores before and after treatment in the control group and treatment group was carried out by the bivariate Mann Whitney U Test. The results of the study showed that before dental health training was conducted, there were 54.3% of primary school students in the treatment group with good OHIS score criteria, and after the training was carried out as many as 98.4% of the students in the treatment group had a good OHIS. Additionally, prior to the training, 57.5% of the control group had fair OHIS criteria score. Then, after the training was carried out, 73.7% of the control group had good OHIS score. Hence, the study concluded that there was a significant difference in the OHIS of primary school students who got little doctor training prior to and after the training. Also, there was a significant difference in the OHIS of the students who did not get such treatment before and after the training.

As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the primary school students were forced to study at a distance of two and a half months starting from mid-March 2020. There was a situation where students had to learn music independently more than they had done so far. The study aims to determine 2nd and 3rd grade students’ perspectives on independent distance learning of music during the Covid-19 pandemic. To achieve the aim of the study, previous researches on this issue were analysed, as well as an empirical study was carried out. The study involved 105 (N=105) primary school students in grades 2-3 and occurred in the second term of the 2019/2020 school year in a public primary school located in Riga. A questionnaire consisting of 20 statements was conducted to determine students’ perspectives on music distance learning independently. The twenty statements were divided into four groups: students’ independence, provision of technical aids, difficulties and attitude. The study revealed that the students’ skills to find and complete the tasks that are given by the teacher in the E-class are at a middle level. The students assessed their ability to learn to sing songs and perform music listening tasks independently at a high level. The students mostly used computers or mobile phones when they learned music at a distance. However, the majority of students faced a lack of technical aids. The study found out that complete music listening task was the easiest for the students, but a little harder was learning to sing songs. The most difficult part of learning for students was to complete a writing task because the possibility of printing it was limited. The students rated their attitude towards music distance learning independently at a middle level. Many students missed the presence of their teachers and longed for social activities in the classroom. The study concluded that there is a significant difference between 2nd and 3rd grade students’ skills to find independently the tasks sent by the teacher. Moreover, the 3rd grade students wanted to learn music independently at a distance more than the 2nd grade students did. The study provides evidence-based data on primary school students’ readiness to learn music independently at a distance.

Significant Difference

Due to the lack of phonemic awareness in English, it is hard for students to read in this language appropriately. As reading competence is very important to be highlighted, this issue needs to be scrutinized in order to ensure that students could acquire the phonics learning thus, developing their reading skill. So, this study attempts to investigate the implementation of online game in learning English phonics and their perceptions about the lesson among Year 1 students in SK Kopok, Pasir Gudang, Johor. To acquire this, a set of questionnaires was distributed to all participants involved and all of them have been interviewed in order to gather the data in depth. Pre and post-tests were utilized to determine if there any significant difference occurs throughout this study. These instruments were administered among the Year 1 students in this school and there were 15 participants involved in the study. The analysis of the data reveals that most of the students have improved their English phonics lessons by using the online game. It is highly significant to determine the reasons that contribute to the findings as this would help various stakeholders to enhance the reading ability among the students. The theory of Jean Piaget regarding the assimilation and accommodation will be drawn deeply in this study as it provides the understanding of how learning takes place when playing the online game. This paper will also discuss the recommendations to improve the phonics lesson to attract the students’ attention as well as to motivate them to read in English. Thus, the results in the findings will be further discussed throughout this paper.
