In environmental education, there have been many studies on learning multimedia, but the media used tends to be limited to the use of conventional media. In this study, we investigate the feasibility ...of Kamiholo, a combination between hologram and Kamishibai for environmental education in elementary school to improve the students' learning outcomes. To avoid bias and increase objectivity, the learning outcomes of Kamiholo utilization will be compared with those of conventional Kamishibai utilization. The experiments in the control and experimental groups both show good results. However, there is a significant difference in the improvement of the student achievement when learning using Kamiholo based on the N-Gain, where the N-Gain value of Kamiholo and Kamishibai are 0.69 and 0.49, respectively. Overall, we have successfully demonstrated the advantages of our new multimedia by combining holograms and Kamishibai for environmental education.
Berbicara dalam bahasa Jepang merupakan salah satu hal yang umumnya dianggap sulit bagi pemelajar bahasa Jepang. Ketidakpercayaan diri, kecemasan, kurangnya latihan, maupun proses pembelajaran yang ...kurang menekankan pada kemampuan berbicara dapat menjadi faktor penyebab kesulitan-kesulitan tersebut. Banyak strategi, tmetode, teknik maupun media yang dapat diimplementasikan untuk melatih kemampuan berbicara bahasa Jepang, salah satunya adalah dengan bercerita. Di Jepang terdapat salah satu teknik bercerita yang menarik dan interaktif, yaitu kamishibai. Kamishibai merupakan bentuk bercerita visual partisipatori yang menggabungkan gambar dengan narasi yang menarik dari pencerita. Menurut kajian dari Segu (2016) Kamishibai dinyatakan efektif meningkatkan kemampuan bercerita siswa. Oleh sebab itu tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahu persepsi siswa terhadap implementasi kamishibai sebagai media latihan berbicara bahasa Jepang. Data pada penelitian ini adalah hasil angket persepsi siswa, teknik pengumpulan data dengan menggunakan angket 4 skala Likert. Responden pada penelitian ini adalah siswa SMA Pembangunan Laboratorium Universitas Negeri Padang yang berjumlah 18 orang. Hasil dari penelitian diketahui bahwa lebih dari 88% responden memberikan persepsi yang positif terhadap penerapan kamishibai sebagai media latihan berbicara bahasa Jepang. Hampir seluruh siswa berpandangan bahwa dengan kamishibai dapat meningkatkan ketertarikan, antusiasme, kepercayaan diri, minat dan motivasi siswa dalam berbicara bahasa Jepang.
Global environmental damage emphasizes the importance of environmental education at schools. It is a tool for achieving sustainable development. Environmental education (EE) is integrated into ...several core subjects in the Indonesian primary school curriculum as a thematic learning. For the teachers, it is essential to be aware of planning and designing appropriate learning methods based on the physical, emotional, and cognitive stages primary students. Kamishibai seems suitable for EE learning at primary school. It can help students to understand EE content. The aim of this study was to analyze using Kamishibai in thematic learning to increase the students' knowledge of EE. The method used in this study was pre-experiment with the research design of the one-group pretest-posttest design. Nine 5th grade students participated in the study. To determine the students’ knowledge of EE, a test was administered before and after the Kamishibai implementation. As a result of the analysis, it was found that, after the implementation, the students’ knowledge of EE was higher than before implementation. The result also showed the students’ ability in retelling the story at the end of the Kamishibai implementation. These indicated that Kamishibai strengthened students' memory. In conclusion, Kamishibai increased students' knowledge of EE.
Os anos 90 ficaram assinalados por um conjunto de transformações de caráter socioeconómico, que alteraram as dinâmicas sociais, potenciando a interligação, a interdependência, a mobilidade, a ...superação de fronteiras, a redução do espaço e do tempo e o fluxo de informação, abrindo novas possibilidades de acesso à diversidade cultural. Todo este conjunto de perplexidades e de desafios marcam o nosso tempo e exigem um olhar renovado sobre o papel da escola e a aplicação de um novo paradigma de identidade e de cidadania. Daqui sobressai a importância do desenvolvimento de um leque alargado de competências (capacidades, conhecimentos e atitudes) que possam permitir uma maior interação com pessoas que são linguística e culturalmente diferentes. Com este contributo pretende-se aquilatar sobre os benefícios de promover a compreensão e a aceitação das diferenças culturais em contextos educativos através da utilização do kamishibai plurilingue.
•Pre-service teachers’ impressions about the implementation of a Kamishibai in the bilingual classroom were analysed.•Cooperation and respect, as well as art techniques were issues pre-service ...teachers learnt from their partners with the Kamishibai execution.•Pre-service teachers were satisfied with the Kamishibai experience and the teamwork.•The Kamishibai project in the higher-education classroom fosters creativity.•The Kamishibai project in the primary-school classroom promotes reading, fosters creativity, and catches pupils’ attention.
The storytelling technique Kamishibai has shown multiple advantages in educational settings. However, there is a lack of studies that deepen on its implementation in teacher training. A total of 114 pre-service teachers (mean age = 20.76 years), enrolled in the Degree of Primary Education at the University of Málaga, participated in a project where they had to design and perform a paper-based theatre for primary-education pupils as a target audience. A semi-structured online survey was administered to determine pre-service teachers’ satisfaction and perceptions towards their Kamishibai and the work in teams. The results revealed that most of the pre-service teachers were satisfied with the team experience. Besides, some benefits were listed: fostering creativity, at university; catching pupils’ attention, fostering creativity and promoting reading, in primary-school context. The Kamishibai implementation goes beyond promoting reading and other linguistic skills in both mother tongue and foreign language; it may be considered a multidisciplinary educative resource to strengthen further cross-curricular competences.
Background: Existing best practices to monitor and prevent health care–associated infections (HAIs) were ineffective during the COVID-19 pandemic due to increased patient susceptibility toward ...infections, reduced resources, and increased use of agency nurses. Problem: A review of the US hospitals revealed a 60% increase in central line–associate bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and a 43% increase in catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) in 2020. A large, academic, level 1 trauma center in Houston, Texas, experienced similar challenges at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Approach: An interdisciplinary team of nurses, infection preventionists, and hospital educators combined and adapted existing evidence-based practices in a novel way to create a nursing-led toolkit for quality improvement tracking, improving, and sustaining HAI improvements. Outcomes: CLABSI and CAUTI rates were reduced over time following the introduction of the Nurse-Sensitive Indicator Quality Improvement (NSIQI) Toolkit. The CLABSI standardized infection ratio (SIR) decreased by 19%, and the CAUTI SIR decreased by 19.4%. Conclusions: The novel NSIQI Toolkit is a scalable tool for improving and sustaining CLABSI and CAUTI rates, which may have the potential for other nurse-sensitive quality indicators.
Kamishibai (K) cards are a quality improvement process focused on improved bundle compliance and promotion of peer-to-peer feedback that the health system has used for a few years.
Changing personnel ...structure and an emphasis on patient outcomes prompted a need to revamp the K Card process.
A team approach was used to redesign the process resulting in a program that moved from utilization of champions to engaging all bedside nurses and having a standard completion requirement for all units. In 2 phases spanning 16 weeks, the nurse managers, point-of-care educators, and all bedside nurses were trained in the process using a computer-based training module and validated in the application of the process.
By the end of the 16-week period, the completion compliance target was reached, and the system began to see a decrease in central line and Foley catheter device usage days.
The result of the project design was a peer-to-peer feedback mechanism, which promotes evidence-based practices and system standards.
Abstract
Lean healthcare visual management has been successfully integrated into infection control programs, leading to lower healthcare-associated infection (HAI) rates and greater provider ...compliance with evidence-based prevention practices; however, its implementation during quality improvement (QI) initiatives in limited-resource settings has not yet been well exploited. We aimed to describe a low-cost strategy involving Kamishibai cards to sustain bundles’ adherence to prevent HAIs in a middle-income country. This descriptive case study evaluated the implementation of a lean healthcare visual management tool—Kamishibai board (K-board)—during a nationwide QI collaborative preventing three critical HAIs in 189 adult and pediatric/neonatal intensive care units (ICUs) from September 2021 to January 2023. Considering a limited-resource setting, our team adapted a K-board using simple, cheap, and easy-to-handle materials for routine monitoring of QI procedures, including safety bundles’ compliance. After test prototypes, the final K-board version was implemented. The chart materials and assembly cost BRL 80.00 (USD 15.48). Before launching, expert working group meetings were held to shape the contents, refine technical issues, and prepare the ICU teams for implementation. After starting, plan-do-study-act cycles were conducted according to the Breakthrough Series model. Participating ICU teams, including leaders and front-line health workers, performed bedside audits following a weekly chronogram. Two indicators were calculated: the percentage of ICUs in which K-boards were being implemented and whether bundles’ compliance was addressed in the K-board. Audit data were recorded in ‘SimpleQI’. After 17 months of this initiative, 177 (93.7%) participating ICUs had included this visual management tool in their daily care routines. When more than 94 (>50%) ICUs posted K-board data, the mean compliance for the bundles for each HAI was sustained above 85%. A lean healthcare visual management tool can be adapted to local settings, including healthcare facilities with limited resources. K-board seems to be a feasible method for auditing evidence-based practices in medical care, including safety bundles to simultaneously prevent three types of HAIs.
