Abstract

This study aims to develop a learning model, based on sensory integration, for improving academic abilities in low-grade elementary school students, aged 7-8 years experiencing learning disabilities. This intervention is known to be an effective learning model for students experiencing learning impairments. The methodology included a mixed design with research and development techniques, as well as Martini Jamaris’s Model. The subjects were 400 students of an elementary school in DKI Jakarta. The results showed that the learning model using interventions based on sensory integration is more effective than the conventional type, which is used in reducing sensation hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity to an adaptive response. All students with learning disabilities who received an intervention based on sensory integration are 100% progressed in acquiring better academic skills and more adaptive.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the procedure and to assess the quality of the development of test instruments in measuring the learning disabilities of elementary school students. Learning disabilities are formulated as disorders that occur in learning activities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia. The type of the research is research and development by using Martini Jamaris’s Model. The subjects were 90 students of elementary school in Jakarta. The number of items was 75 items consisting of 19 items (dyslexia), 29 items (dysgraphia), and 27 items (dyscalculia). The results obtained in the validity test were declared valid were only 54 of the 75 items. Reliability of the test was stated to be reliable with very high interpretation in all dimensions. The results of the analysis of learning disabilities using a learning disabilities test that have been developed were obtained 90% of students experience learning disabilities.

Abstract

Purpose – Stunting remains a critical threat to early childhood development, with impacts on both physical growth and long-term cognitive outcomes, yet prevention efforts remain uneven. This study examines the role of parental health literacy in translating nutritional awareness into consistent daily feeding practices to support stunting prevention.Design/methods/approach – This study used a descriptive survey design with Rasch analysis to examine parental health literacy and parental attention to children’s nutritional needs in the context of stunting prevention. The study involved 176 parents of young children in Sukabumi Regency, Indonesia, selected through random sampling. Questionnaire data were used as the main source of analysis, while observations and brief conversations with parents were used only as contextual support in interpreting the setting. Rasch modeling was employed to assess item functioning, reliability, separation, and the distribution of respondents and items on the same logit scale.Findings – The findings indicate that parents more readily endorsed general forms of nutritional concern than structured feeding practices requiring consistent regulation of meal portions and meal times. This suggests that parental health literacy functions as an enabling condition, but does not automatically translate into stable household practice. The Rasch results showed strong measurement performance, with person reliability of 0.93, item reliability of 0.99, Cronbach’s alpha of 0.94, person separation of 3.63, and item separation of 13.67. Taken together, the results point to a meaningful gap between nutritional awareness and the practical organization of everyday feeding routines, which is where prevention appears most vulnerable.Research implications/limitations – The findings indicate that the main challenge in stunting prevention lies not in parental knowledge alone but in the consistent enactment of household feeding routines, positioning health literacy within everyday caregiving practices and constraints. The study is limited by self-reported data and a cross-sectional design, which preclude causal inference and longitudinal verification of child growth outcomes.Practical implications – The results suggest that interventions should move beyond general nutrition awareness toward strengthening routine-based practices such as portion control, meal timing, and balanced diet planning. These insights inform policymakers, health educators, early childhood practitioners, and families in designing more actionable, context-sensitive prevention strategies at the household level.Originality/value – This study advances stunting research by analytically distinguishing parental health literacy from the practical regulation of children’s feeding routines. By applying Rasch analysis to map differential item difficulty, it reveals a critical gap between nutritional awareness and structured practice, offering a grounded perspective for family-based prevention in rural and Global South contexts.Paper type Research paper
