Among the purposes of PDB is to ensure the pupils find the education acquired enjoyable. According to the findings by Halimah Jamil and Rozita Radhiah Said (2019), South Korea, the United States of America and Canada are among the countries that have long practiced assessment in their education system. As a whole, this research opted to use the quantitative research method to uncover and understand problems that occur in the implementation of PBD by teachers in schools. The Cross-Sectional Survey method will be used due to the huge size of the population. The researcher uses questionnaires as a tool for this survey. The researcher will use descriptive analysis to analyse the data. The data findings, obtained from the questionnaires distributed to 500 respondents which are later analysed using descriptive statistics through calculations on the frequency analysis, mean value, percentage, and standard deviation, show that the level of teachers’ comprehension in the implementation of PBD in schools is high. Aside from that, through the one-way Anova test in this research, small significant differences are seen between the teachers’ knowledge in the implementation of PBD and their year of service. Although all teachers have a high level of knowledge, the data shows that teachers who have been in service longer have a higher level of knowledge compared to those who are new in service. In conclusion, the implementation level of PBD in Primary Schools in the state of Selangor is high. It is hoped that the implication of this study will help to solve problems, or to determine methods or approaches that can be applied in the effort to increase teachers’ level of knowledge during the implementation of PBD.

Resumen:Se estudia si la percepción de los conocimientos profesionales (disciplinares y pedagógicos) de las educadoras de párvulos de Chile está asociada al nivel de conocimientos que realmente tienen. Con este fin se aplicaron dos instrumentos de recogida de datos, previamente validados. El primero fue un cuestionario diseñado sobre la Encuesta Nacional Docente realizada por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile. El segundo fue la prueba INICIA (Ministerio de Educación de Chile, 2013), aplicada anualmente a los alumnos egresados de las carreras de educación parvularia. Los resultados indican que el nivel de conocimientos técnicos y pedagógicos de las educadoras de párvulos es extremadamente bajo, lo que se ve agravado por una falsa percepción acerca de su nivel de formación disciplinar y pedagógica. Las conclusiones apuntan a que la profesión de educadora de párvulos en Chile tiene un gran desafío formativo por delante. Abstract:It examines whether the perception of professional knowledge (disciplinary and pedagogical) of preschool teachers in Chile is associated with the level of knowledge they actually have. With this aim, two instruments of data collection were applied, previously validated. The first was a questionnaire designed on National Teacher Survey conducted by the Ministry of Education of Chile. The second one was the INICIA (Ministry of Education of Chile, 2013), applied annually to the pupils of nursery education. The results indicate that the level of technical and pedagogical knowledge of pre-school teachers is extremely low, which is exacerbated by a false perception of their level of disciplinary and pedagogical training. The findings suggest that the profession of nursery teachers in Chile has a great educational challenge ahead.

Abstract Background: Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders and resulting from deficits in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Insulin therapy is primarily required to attain the recommended goal of blood sugar. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge, skills and practices of insulin storage and injection technique of patients. Methods : An interview based cross-sectional study was conducted in conveniently selected participants in Northwest Ethiopian primary hospitals from March, 1, 2019 to May, 30, 2019. Knowledge and practice were measured by administering structured questionnaire with a Likert scale of 1–5 through face-to-face interviews and skills were assessed by five observational (demonstration) techniques from a total of 166 clients. Results: Of the total 166 participants, 54.8% were males and the mean age was 38.46±13.8 years . The overall knowledge (65.4%.) and practice (53.89%) rate on insulin storage and handling techniques were showed moderate knowledge and fair practices. About 94.6% of participants correctly shown insulin injection sites. One-way ANOVA showed that the level of education [F (3, 162) = 7.283, p<0.001], ways of instruction of insulin injection [F (2, 163) =3.32, p = 0.039], insulin therapy duration [F (3,162) = 3.59, p= 0.015] and assessing insulin storage [F (2,163) = 4.45, p = 0.013] had a significant effect on level of knowledge. Similarly, knowledge level [F (2,163) = 14.17, p < 0.001], educational status [F (3,162) = 10.57, p <0.001], occupation type [F (4,161) = 5.43, p <0.001], time since insulin therapy [F (3, 162) = 5.46, p = 0.001] and diagnosis [F (3,162) = 3.36, p= 0.02] had a significant effect on patients’ insulin storage and administration practices. Conclusion: Patient had marginal knowledge and practices on insulin storage and administration techniques. The patients’ skills on the important and critical steps of administrations are poor. The engagements of healthcare professionals and stakeholders should be in developments of instructions and guidelines are very crucial in addition to focusing on educating and changing their wrong perceptions, believes and attitudes towards storage and administering techniques.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to verify the association between knowledge and adherence to foot self-care practices performed by patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. Methods: cross-sectional, descriptive study carried out with 197 patients in basic health units located in the Northeast region of Brazil. For data collection, we used a semi-structured questionnaire that addressed issues inherent to knowledge and Diabetes Self-Care Activities. Results: we observed that patients with moderate knowledge about self-care practices were more likely to perform foot self-examination, dry the interdigital spaces, moisturize their feet with creams and oils, observe the presence of mycosis and ingrown toenail when compared to patients with insufficient knowledge. Conclusions: the patients' level of knowledge was closely related to the self-care activities carried out, which reinforces the importance of nurses working on training those on essential health care.
