“…Early childhood will depend on environmental support, and strong motivation in yourself [18]. In the family, in school, there must be in the name of either creative attitudes and attitudes of group individuals in the work environment or the community [19]. Therefore, education should be the students' uniqueness and talents (do not get carried away with all the same things or have the same interests).…”

Instructional media is a tool used in the learning process to convey material, information and communicate with students to achieve learning effectiveness. The use of instructional media is also expected to increase students' understanding of the subjects being taught. This study aims to develop instructional media in improving creative thinking skills in early childhood ages 5-6 years. The number of samples in this study was 36 divided into three groups. The first group consisted of three students with different characteristics for the implementation of the one-to-one trial. The second group consists of 6 students for the small group trial. At the same time, the third group consisted of 25 students for field trials. The instruments used were pre-test and post-test. The stages of developing instructional media are carried out in three main stages, namely; 1) conduct needs analysis, 2) develop initial products, 3) expert validation, revisions, and trials. The results showed that effective instructional media could improve early childhood creative thinking skills. For that, it is suggested that teachers become learning developers, not just educators. Therefore an understanding of development research is needed to support the learning process. Implications Educational institutions can take advantage of learning media that have been developed because of the obstacles that students have faced in increasing their creative thinking skills.

“…Thus, it is important for nurses in the pediatric ward to pay attention to safety incidents. To prevent incidents in hospitals, this study applied a mobile-type SKH app, which was implemented using animation, based on previous findings suggesting the effectiveness of educating preschool-age children through moving pictures and songs (Behnamnia et al, 2020). To verify the effectiveness of the SKH app, three groups were compared: SKH app intervention (ExpI), paper-based intervention (ExpII), and the control group.…”

Background: Preschool-age children in hospitals are at a high risk of unexpected incidents. Safety incidents in hospitals can cause serious damage to the children. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the mobile-type mHealth Safe Kids Hospital (SKH) application (app) for the prevention of hospitalized child safety incidents. Design: This study used a three-group, randomized controlled trial prepost design. Setting(s): This study was conducted in the pediatric ward of three general hospitals in Korea. Participants: A total of 124 eligible hospitalized children and their caregivers were enrolled in the study from June to December 2018. Of these, 116 finally participated in the study, and 8 were excluded because they were discharged before the intervention. Methods: Hospitalized preschool-age children and their caregivers were randomly allocated into three groups: experimental group I (n = 39), experimental group II (n = 39), and the control group (n = 38). Experimental group I received the SKH app intervention, the experimental group II received a paper-based intervention, whereas the control group received the usual intervention. Participants' outcomes of awareness, knowledge, and behavior related to hospital safety, were assessed at two time points: baseline and 24 h after the intervention. Results: Hospital safety awareness had a higher increase after intervention in experimental groups I and II than in the control group. Among the four subdomains of hospital safety awareness, there was a significant increase in the scores of experimental group I on three subdomains after the intervention: falls (F = 8.19, p < 0.001), burns (F = 6.73, p = 0.002), and medical devices (F = 6.81, p = 0.002). In hospital safety knowledge and safety behavior, experimental group I had the highest average score after the intervention compared with experimental group II and the control group; however, there was no statistically significant difference in the average score of the three groups. Conclusions: Using the SKH app is easy to attract the interest of preschoolage children and is also easy for nurses to use in clinical trials; thus, it is considered to be a useful educational intervention to prevent safety incidents in clinical fields in future. Clinical Relevance: It is thought to contribute to the prevention of preschool-age children's safety incidents in pediatric wards.

“…The learning process based on digital games education can stimulate children's curiosity in such a way for them to solve problems by creating attractiveness in the visual sides, which in turn can increase children's satisfaction (Behnamnia et al, 2020). Next, game-based learning also has various types of cognitive loads than non-game-based learning.…”

Hygiene care is a basic human need, but very essential practice that must be taught since childhood. Personal hygiene involves making sure body parts are clean to avoid from health issues caused by poor cleanliness. Parents ultimately bear the responsibility to teach their children about cleanliness, and normally this is done by showing and practising hygiene care themselves. Nevertheless, it is not that easy to educate personal hygiene care to them, especially in the ages of four to six years old, because they are actively playing and exploring their environments. To aid parents, mobile learning app could be employed because hygiene habits can be shown via more engaging ways such as through pictures and video clips of personal hygiene care, simple drag and drop games, and pictorial quiz. In this study, a mobile learning app with game-based approach has been developed by following the software development life cycle Spiral model. During evaluation phase, a heuristic evaluation with five Computer Science lecturers was conducted to examine the usability of the app. Results from the evaluation were used as guidance to refine and improvise the app so that they will be usable and enjoyable for children.
