Effect of the STEAM Program Based on ?�Force and Motion??in Elementary Schools on the Perception of students Toward Science Core Competencies

This paper is an innovative concept in the field of learning, especially Indonesian in elementary schools. The Shuttle Flow Model is an invention, the result of contemplating experiences during and after teaching, observing, and training teachers in learning practices. The existence of a ‘shuttling’ movement between values and competencies during learning and prioritizing the elements of connectedness, wholeness, and beingness are the main features of this model. The purpose of this model is to help teachers teach Indonesian in an integrative-holistic manner as well as a solution to teacher constraints in integrative learning in primary schools. This model displays the flexibility in integrating the four aspects of language skills with the core competencies in the 2013 Curriculum which flow back and forth in the direction formed by the flow of competencies. This direction shows the relationship between aspects of language skills from and to core competencies. That is why it is called the Shuttle Flow Modle or the Shuttle Flow Model. The presence of this model is so important to guide teachers in developing the self-potential of students holistically. By using this model, teachers will never run out of material in teaching, they can even find out what aspects and competencies the students are weak in. There are five strengths of this model and four weaknesses. Strengths are intensified to minimize weaknesses. It is recommended that this learning model be an innovative choice in learning in elementary schools.

Abstract Objective Oral health educators should have the required knowledge, skills and attitude in order to meet the increased needs of the Ministry of Education in Syria as well as to perform their duties in promoting oral health in children appropriately during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study was undertaken to identify core competencies required for oral health educators in elementary schools during the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative exploratory study was undertaken. A focus group which consisted of 5 Medical Education postgraduates and 3 oral health educators’ training team members were invited to formulate a preliminary list of basic competencies. Delphi technique was also adopted through inviting 12 experts in oral health education to evaluate and formulate a final list of elementary schools’ oral health educators’ competencies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results A competency framework was developed. Fifty-five competencies were identified including 35 in cognitive domain, 12 skills and 8 attitude competencies. A list of essential competencies has been identified. These competencies should be addressed in training programs targeting oral health educators, which can consequently produce competent educators who can successfully promote and provide health care to all schoolchildren during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The background of this research with low level of knowledge and understanding of students in the subjects taught in the educational unit. it is caused by a large load of the subjects taught, the number of core competencies and basic competencies are mastered, the lack of teaching materials used reference and instructional media use is considered monotonous. Therefore, the education unit is expected to have a strategy to deal with the issues involved, so that the learning process in educational units to run well so that student learning outcomes can be achieved to the fullest. One of them is the development of teaching materials and media learning. The purpose of this study to determine the relationship of the development of teaching materials and media with the results of student learning in Public Elementary Schools District Sungai Kunjang. This research is a quantitative study with associative approach. The number of respondents in this research is 160 students, this selection using quota sampling technique and proportional random sampling. The technique of data analysis in this research is using correlation test and t-test. The results of this research is there is a positive and significant relationship between the development of teaching materials and media with the results of student learning in Islamic Religious Education in Public Elementary Schools District Sungai Kunjang.

Abstract. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the flight-related core competencies for professional airline pilots and to structuralize them as components in a team performance framework. To achieve this, the core competency scores from a total of 2,560 OPC (Operator Proficiency Check) missions were analyzed. A principal component analysis (PCA) of pilots’ performance scores across the different competencies was conducted. Four principal components were extracted and a path analysis model was constructed on the basis of these factors. The path analysis utilizing the core competencies extracted adopted an input–process–output’ (IPO) model of team performance related directly to the activities on the flight deck. The results of the PCA and the path analysis strongly supported the proposed IPO model.
