Abstract

This study aims to examine how to use science-based digital teaching materials as an educational tool on how to reduce the impact of disasters through monitoring and literature review. Previous research has typically discussed digital media and disaster education separately, leaving gaps in integrating the two into a unified whole. This study aims to fill this gap by analyzing 6 relevant scientific articles, using a qualitative literature review approach that includes content analysis and systematic thematic development.The results indicate that  the use of science-based digital teaching materials successfully improves conceptual understanding, scientific literacy skills, and disaster preparedness. Three key findings were found: media such as simulations and videos facilitate better conceptual understanding because they use images; incorporating examples from the surrounding environment enhances students' awareness and enables them to make better decisions; and the use of digital platforms makes learning more engaging and flexible. However, implementation still faces obstacles due to limited access to technology, teachers' inadequate digital skills, and the limited availability of materials based on local wisdom. Thus, digital teaching materials that apply scientific principles have great potential as effective disaster mitigation educational tools, but require structured and context-appropriate development.

Abstract

Mental health is a crucial aspect in shaping the professional readiness of prospective teachers. However, this issue remains underexplored in teacher education, despite the complex emotional and academic pressures faced by students. This study aims to describe the perceptions of prospective teachers regarding mental health, in terms of their knowledge, experiences, and expectations for institutional support. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach involving 630 prospective teachers from various semesters. The instruments used consisted of a Likert scale, binary (Yes/No) questions, and open-ended questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive techniques, including mean scores, frequency distribution, and thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students demonstrated a high level of awareness regarding the importance of mental health (mean score = 4.85), yet not all felt comfortable discussing the issue or seeking help when experiencing psychological pressure. A total of 63.17% of respondents had experienced or knew someone who experienced mental health problems, but only 37.14% felt they had adequate resources to cope. Student suggestions included the need for mental health education, counseling services, and awareness campaigns within the campus environment. These findings underscore the importance of integrating mental health education into teacher training curricula. Systematic efforts are needed to enhance literacy, reduce stigma, and foster a more supportive campus environment for the psychological well-being of future educators.
