Basics of forming the functional literacy of schoolchildren

The article examines the formation of information skills as an integral part of the student's functional literacy in conformity with both international and Russian studies. Its conclusions are based both on the analysis of these studies (the content of tasks, the results of diagnosis) and on specific features of federal educational standards and educational and methodological publications concerned with the development of information skills. In the course of the research, the authors have revealed that the formation of information skills in students is influenced not so much by the choice of textbooks but by the teacher's work, use of techniques, means and methods of organizing the activities aimed at mastering all the skills listed in federal state educational standards in relation to data processing. The conditions influencing the achievement of the planned results in mastering the educational program related to the search and transformation of information as an integral part of the functional literacy of schoolchildren are as follows: work with continuous and non-continuous texts.

Information-seeking needs and behaviours of complementary health (chiropractic) practitioners and students

<p>Background: Research into the information-seeking behaviours and needs of alternative and complementary health professionals continues to be limited. Interest in complementary medicine is growing worldwide, reflected in New Zealand by the increase in numbers of practitioners, and the demand for accessible, reliable information and resources by professionals and consumers grows also. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the information seeking behaviours (access, sources, frequency of search, and motivation) and needs (research, practice or education) of students and professionals in one area of complementary health (chiropractic), and by investigating their reported practices and preferences identify their requirements, preferred approaches and any barriers that may limit their information-seeking. The intention is to use the information to assess a possible requirement for information services and information skills programmes for practitioners in the community and to add to the small body of research on information use among CAM professionals. Methods: The research project surveyed a random sample of both students and registered chiropractic practitioners by questionnaire and interview. The mailed questionnaire included twenty question intended to elicit information on the information-seeking behaviours of the respondents, with interview questions expanding on these responses. Results: Although the response was very low at 41.1%, (a known risk in survey research), results indicated that the information needs and behaviours of chiropractic professionals is similar to that of other health professionals. Respondents used the Internet and books frequently, but were unlikely to use databases or a library when seeking information. Respondents were generally confident in their skills but often lacked confidence in the information they located. Conclusions: Although the chiropractic field is quite narrow in scope, chiropractors' information seeking needs and behaviours are similar to those of other health professionals. They seek information regularly and use a number of sources, primarily for clinical reasons and for personal interest. They do not search for research-based information frequently and rely on the Internet, colleagues and their own collections to supply their main information needs. Although the results cannot reliably be extrapolated to the whole chiropractic community owing to the small scale of the survey, it appears that there is need to encourage the use of research-based information and to provide easier access to those resources contained in databases and libraries. As the overwhelming majority of chiropractors of all levels of experience use the Internet, the investigation of the provision of targeted web-based services and training in their use may be profitable. More precise investigation is required.</p>

Online Learning in the Era of Pandemic: Solution or Disaster?

The change in life continues to change quickly. The 4.0 industry has been examined, marking a development in IT, including the Internet, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Everyone was not distinguished from technology by the development of IT in the 21st century. Different opinions from various parties to online learning come from face-to-face shifting paradigms. This sort of learning paradigm has multiple advantages and disadvantages to reach the aim of learning itself. This study seeks to assess the perspective of learners of online learning in this context in a COVID-19 pandemic. The study focuses on students of the English conversation of Akademi Maritim Nusantara Cilacap. The instruments used are semi-structured interviews. The researcher asked the students about the Covid-19 outbreak via the WhatsApp service. The research design employed in this research was a case study. The online study is unbelievably advantageous in the heart of the pandemic. AMN Cilacap has selected the Google Classroom Service as its Learning Management System. They will receive new terminology, knowledge, and technical skills. Thus, when they graduate in the future, students will no longer have problems using their primary app for education. Online learning is more effective than offline learning for a particular objective, information, skills, and students. Combining the benefit of online and offline teaching approaches known as combined learning will help overcome the potential limitations of online learning in the professional school of AMN Cilacap. But a mix of online and offline learning, notwithstanding the volatility of online, may be the best option to maximize its worth.

PEMBELAJARAN LITERASI MELALUI PENDEKATAN SAINTIFIK DALAM MATA PELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN AGAMA HINDU DI SEKOLAH DASAR

<p>The school literacy movement was developed based on nine priority agendas (Nawacita) which aimed to grow and develop the ability of reading and writing. Both of these abilities are contained in Indonesian language subjects. Indonesian Language subjects are a means of conveying knowledge. Through learning Indonesian especially reading and writing, students can master other subjects. Student learning success is greatly influenced by their ability to speak. The definition of literacy through the scientific approach in Indonesian language subjects is more directed at information skills. Information ability refers to several activities, namely observing, asking, trying, associating, and communicating. The process of observing includes seeking information, seeing, hearing, and listening. The questioning activity was carried out as one of the processes of building students' knowledge in the form of concepts in group discussions. Trying activities are useful to increase students' curiosity which includes planning, designing, and obtaining information. Associating activities can be done by analyzing and predicting, while communicating activities are a means to convey the results of conceptualization in oral or written form.</p>

The outcomes of gaining digital skills for young people’s lives and wellbeing: A systematic evidence review

Research and policy have invested in the prospect that gaining digital skills enhances children’s and young people’s outcomes. A systematic evidence review of research on digital skills among 12- to 17-year-olds identified 34 studies that used cross-sectional survey methods to examine the association of digital skills with tangible outcomes. Two-thirds concerned the association with online opportunities or other benefits. Another third examined online risks of harm. Findings showed a positive association between digital skills and online opportunities, information benefits, and orientation to technology. Greater digital skills were indirectly linked to greater exposure to online risks, although any link to harm was unclear. While technical skills were linked with mixed or even negative outcomes, information skills were linked with positive outcomes. There was little research on the outcomes of communication or creative digital skills. Future research should examine the dimensions of digital skills separately and encompass a wider range of outcomes.

Simulation of drug information skills in the medical information department

Purpose: To utilise DIcipher, an escape-room challenge, to provide a simulation of using drug information (DI) skills to answer drug questions in the medical information (MI) department within the pharmaceutical industry. Methods: The 15-minute challenge required the groups to solve one clue and retrieve DI questions about iron deficiency anaemia. DI resources were used to search for answers to unlock a box with the antidote. A debriefing session followed and a Likert scale survey was administered to obtain student perception. Results: A total of 15 second to fourth year pharmacy students at university participated in the challenge and completed the survey. No groups retrieved the antidote by answering all of the questions correctly. All students agreed that the challenge provided a realistic view of how to apply DI skills in an industry-based setting. Conclusion: This challenge demonstrated the function of a pharmacist in the MI department to pharmacy students.
