Hubungan pola makan dengan karies gigi pada murid sekolah dasar

Background: Caries is a major problem in community dental health seen by the high prevalence of caries in children. Diet is something that needs to be maintained to prevent caries. Foods that are easily attached can accelerate the occurrence of dental and mouth disease. From the initial examination, 70% of students experienced caries with a DMF-T index of 3.5.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of eating patterns with dental caries in grade V and VI students of primary schools.Methods: This analytical study used a cross-sectional study design, with a total sample of 55 students of Elementary School District of Ingin Jaya. This research was conducted on March 18, 2019. Data collection was carried out by laboratory examination and conducting interviews using a structured questionnaire tool. Data processing through the stages of editing, coding, entry, and tabulating. The analysis used in a bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test manually.Results: The results of the study based on the chi-square statistical test were obtained x2 = 9.67 (x2 count> x2 table), so that at the 95% significance level there was a significant relationship between eating patterns and dental caries in grade V and VI elementary school students in Kayee Leue of Elementary School District of Ingin Jaya, District of Aceh Besar.Conclusion: The eating patterns of elementary school children have a significant relationship with the incidence of dental caries in the fifth and sixth-grade students of Kayee Leue, Elementary School District of Ingin Jaya. Suggestions, to pay attention to dental and oral health by brushing teeth properly and correctly, consume foods that contain fiber such as fruits and vegetables and lots of water, and do a dental check every 6 months.

A Call for Computer Recess: The Impact of Computer Activities on Predominantly Minority Students’ Technology and Application Self-Efficacy

The digital divide limits the flow of potential students through the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pipeline and into STEM careers. The digital divide is a dynamic and constantly evolving concept of digital exclusion that encompasses numerous dimensions and levels. The “usage access gap” and the “second-level divide” both account for differences in how digitally divided people actually use technology. In this study, we employ social cognitive theory as a framework to explore the impact of various kinds of technology usage on predominately minority students’ technology and application self-efficacy. Data were gathered over the course of a large-scale computing intervention that took place in an elementary school district in the southeastern United States. Results indicate that usage access gap activities and second-level divide activities, such as playing games or talking to friends online, may actually help increase students’ technology self-efficacy and computer application self-efficacy. Entertainment and social networking activities provide students with positive direct experiences with technology, which may help close this dimension/level of the digital divide over time. Future computing interventions should consider establishing dedicated “computer recess” time to help digitally divided students increase their technology self-efficacy.

Waldorf Methods

Chapter 11 considers Pennsylvania’s Hatboro-Horsham School District (HHSD)’s determination that the proposed Good Earth Charter School (GE) is religiously sectarian. GE is a Waldorf Methods school, premised on Rudolf Steiner’s (1861-1925) anthroposophy, a religious cosmology that explains humanity’s spiritual evolution from cosmic origins and anticipates humanity’s attainment of divine nature. Although Waldorf charter schools withstood a legal challenge in California in PLANS, Inc. v. Sacramento City Unified School Distict, Twin Ridges Elementary School District (1998–2012), HHSD found that GE’s curriculum, teacher training, and affiliations reflect its anthroposophic foundations. Contrasting the California and Pennsylvania cases illustrates how resource disparities can affect legal determinations of what counts as religion. This chapter argues that Waldorf Methods charter schools illustrate how a pedagogical approach can be secular and religious. GE’s curriculum is aligned with state educational standards, and there are public Waldorf Methods schools that promote secular interests by offering an arts-focused education to students who otherwise could not afford it. Yet, Waldorf’s distinctive pedagogy—including its meditation practices—is an outgrowth of Steiner’s esoteric understanding of child development. Modern anthroposophists have in two separate court cases argued successfully that anthroposophy is a religion for free exercise purposes.

HUBUNGAN KEBIASAAN ANAK MENJAGA KESEHATAN DAN KEBERSIHAN GIGI DENGAN KARIES MOLAR PERTAMA PERMANEN PADA MURID SEKOLAH DASAR DI KECAMATAN PADANG TIMUR KOTA PADANG

Dental caries and gum disease (gingivitis) is a disease which are often found in elementary school’s student in Indonesia. One of the cause of the oral and dental problems is behavior factor or neglect of oral hygiene. This study aims to determine the relationship of children's behaviors to health and dental hygiene with caries incidence in permanent first molars in SDN 15 Eastern District of Padang. The design of this study is the Cross Sectional Study. The research was conducted at the Elementary School District 15 East Padang Padang Padang in January 2012. This study sample was a student of class IV, V, VI amounted to 80 people. The data was collected through questionnaires and dental examinations by chi-square analysis.

Refugee Children and Parental Involvement in School Education

While much has been achieved in this country to bring about equality for many groups, for refugees it has been a struggle. This chapter explores the state of refugee education in terms of definition and impact for children and families, including coordination constraints. It provides a program-model for working with refugee students and their families within a culturally responsive partnership at Washington Elementary School District, Arizona, USA. In addition, challenges are addressed leading to constant adapting, changing, and improving the program model over time based on the needs of the refugee students and their families.

The Transition Practices of One County's Rural Elementary School Districts and Their Receiving Independent School District

The purpose of this study was to describe the transition implementation experienced by rural elementary school district students entering the ninth grade at an independent school district, and to describe the ties to the school that exist among these same ninth grade students. This qualitative research involved interviewing 11 ninth grade students, six rural elementary school district counselors and/or administrators, and one independent school district counselor. Conclusions of the study revealed that the independent school district in the study does not have a structured transition implementation program to assist rural elementary school district students. Despite literature that supports the success of transitional programs for students and the fact that the county in the study once had a transitional program, there is currently no program in place. The one thing every rural elementary and independent school district staff member agreed on was that the transition process for the rural elementary students needs drastic improvement. Suggestions were provided by all participants to assist with improving transition.

Gaming the SySTEM: The Relationship Between Video Games and the Digital and STEM Divides

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers are increasingly vital for countries, such as the United States and United Kingdom, to remain innovative and productive in the 21st century. Despite the growing demand and lucrative nature of STEM fields, minorities have remained traditionally underrepresented in STEM careers, possibly due to digital divide factors. In this study, we use social cognitive theory to explore the potential of video gameplay to provide a means of increasing minority students’ comfort with information and communication technologies, thereby increasing their positive STEM attitudes. Data were gathered during a large-scale computing intervention in an elementary school district in the southeastern United States. The results indicate that video game experiences may influence STEM attitudes via the mediating role of computer self-efficacy and emotional costs. Video gameplay, including games for entertainment, may be beneficial for young digitally divided populations as it may provide them with positive enactive experiences with technology.
