Abstract

Reading skills are essential skills since early childhood education. For children with disabilities in learning (CWDL), specific reading-learning methods should be provided with regard to the problems faced by the children. Hence, this concept paper provides an alternative in teaching and learning using the Modul Riang Ria Membaca (MRRM) based on songs and learning approach through playing. This study used a literary research method to obtain data for the development of reading modules for children with learning disabilities. The findings of the study were the “Riang Ria Reading Module” and the suggestion of the implementation of a fun and meaningful early reading instruction for CWDL. The use of songs as well as the integration of hands-on activities in the form of physical games creates an atmosphere of teaching and learning that can attract attention and focus of students with learning disabilities.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the acceptance of the implementation of STEM approaches in teaching and learning by secondary school teachers in the Federal Territory of Labuan. This study uses a quantitative assessment approach of a sample survey type. Data were collected through the STEM Implementation Acceptance Questionnaire involving 314 teachers who were randomly selected from nine secondary schools. Rasch model data analysis using WINSTEPS Version 3.69.1 software was applied to produce a Wright Map to measure the acceptance aspects of STEM implementation through the study questionnaire items. The results of the study showed that items that were difficult to accept included making quantitative predictions (measure > 1 logit), reducing exam stress, and developing a problem-solving model, while items that were easy to accept were fostering positive values, early planning, and various teaching and learning methods (measure < -1 logit). The component of teacher belief in STEM recorded the highest mean measure value (0.43 logit), followed by attitude (-0.30 logit) and teacher commitment (-0.11 logit). Teachers were more likely to accept the aspects of attitude and commitment than belief in the importance of STEM. The findings of this study provide an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of teachers' acceptance of STEM implementation in teaching and learning, which should be taken into account to increase teachers' confidence, attitude, and commitment towards the implementation of STEM in secondary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to test the validity and reliability of the context, input, process, and acceptance of STEM implementation questionnaires for secondary school teachers in Malaysia. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with SMARTPLS 3.2.3 software was used to do the analysis. The study involved 825 secondary school teachers using stratified random sampling. Based on composite reliability and Cronbach's alpha values, the Reflective Measurement Model showed that there was internal consistency reliability. Convergent validity was also achieved through outer loading analysis and average variance extracted (AVE). It also met the criteria for discriminant validity based on the Fornell-Larcker Criterion, Cross Loading, and the Heterotrait-Monotrait (HTMT) Ratio. The findings of this study demonstrate that this questionnaire is valid and reliable for assessing STEM implementation among secondary school teachers in Malaysia.

Abstract

Dental implants are the latest and most effective restorative solution for replacing missing teeth. However, their success rate can be significantly affected by the patient's systemic conditions, particularly diabetes mellitus, which can inhibit bone osseointegration if blood glucose levels are uncontrolled. This background encourages the need for in-depth investigation of strategies to improve implant survival in this at-risk population. This study, structured as a literature review, specifically focuses on analyzing methods and techniques that can optimize the success of dental implants in people with diabetes. The research phase involved a systematic review of scientific articles from the PubMed and Google Scholar databases published between 2019 and 2024, analyzing cases of diabetic patients who received immediate post-extraction implant treatment. The main findings indicate that good osseointegration can be achieved through the technique of placing implants directly into the new extraction socket, particularly in the anterior mandible. This success is significantly supported by the use of advanced regenerative materials, such as the combination of freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) with injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), which has been shown to effectively stimulate bone and periodontal tissue regeneration even in cases of aggressive periodontitis. Furthermore, the use of longer implants, a collagen membrane in the posterior area, and supportive protocols such as prophylactic antibiotics and 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthwash play a significant role in minimizing the risk of inflammation. In conclusion, although diabetic patients have a higher risk of implant failure, the application of appropriate and personalized treatment methods—including surgical techniques, regenerative materials, and long-term maintenance—can achieve very high success rates of up to 97.6%. These results underscore the importance of comprehensive individualized treatment planning and careful evaluation of the patient's systemic condition to ensure the long-term success of implant restorations. ABSTRAKImplan gigi merupakan solusi restoratif terkini dan paling efektif untuk menggantikan gigi yang hilang, namun tingkat keberhasilannya dapat sangat dipengaruhi oleh kondisi sistemik pasien, terutama diabetes mellitus, yang dapat menghambat proses osseointegrasi tulang jika kadar glukosa darah tidak terkendali. Latar belakang ini mendorong perlunya investigasi mendalam terhadap strategi untuk meningkatkan ketahanan implan pada populasi berisiko ini. Penelitian ini, yang disusun sebagai studi literatur, secara spesifik berfokus pada analisis metode dan teknik yang dapat mengoptimalkan keberhasilan implan gigi pada penderita diabetes. Tahapan penelitian melibatkan peninjauan sistematis terhadap artikel ilmiah dari database PubMed dan Google Scholar yang dipublikasikan antara tahun 2019 hingga 2024, menganalisis kasus-kasus pasien diabetes yang menerima perawatan implan segera pasca-ekstraksi. Temuan utama menunjukkan bahwa osseointegrasi yang baik dapat dicapai melalui teknik pemasangan implan secara langsung pada soket ekstraksi baru, terutama di area anterior mandibula. Keberhasilan ini didukung secara signifikan oleh penggunaan material regeneratif canggih, seperti kombinasi freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA) dengan injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF), yang terbukti efektif merangsang regenerasi tulang dan jaringan periodontal bahkan pada kasus periodontitis agresif. Selain itu, penggunaan implan yang lebih panjang, membran kolagen pada area posterior, serta protokol pendukung seperti pemberian antibiotik profilaksis dan obat kumur klorheksidin 0,12% turut berperan penting dalam meminimalkan risiko inflamasi. Kesimpulannya, meskipun pasien diabetes memiliki risiko kegagalan implan yang lebih tinggi, penerapan metode perawatan yang tepat dan terpersonalisasi—mencakup teknik bedah, material regeneratif, dan pemeliharaan jangka panjang—dapat mencapai tingkat keberhasilan yang sangat tinggi hingga 97,6%. Hasil ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya perencanaan perawatan individual yang komprehensif dan evaluasi kondisi sistemik pasien secara cermat untuk memastikan kesuksesan jangka panjang restorasi implan.
