Abstract

In pursuing and realizing effective learning goals, it is necessary to implement a method so that the desired learning process is achieved, namely by learning effectively. Improving the quality of education will be achieved if the teaching and learning process carried out in the classroom is truly effective and useful for achieving the expected knowledge, attitudes and skills. Because basically the teaching and learning process is the core of the overall educational process, the teacher is one of the important factors in determining the success of the learning process in the classroom. The preparation of learning strategies includes individual, group, guided, leaving and supervision learning patterns. There are components that must be considered in developing learning patterns, including teaching objectives, introduction of initial abilities, the teaching process and assessment of the achievement of teaching objectives. What students apply at home as a learning pattern can also be called home learning activities. The learning patterns used by students in their daily lives are certainly different from each other.

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends introducing complementary foods at six months of age, while continuing breastfeeding up to two years or beyond. However, early or delayed initiation remains common, contributing to nutritional problems in developing countries. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of timely initiation of complementary feeding (CF) and identify sociodemographic factors associated with early introduction of complementary feeding among mothers of infants aged 6-23 months in Padang, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 244 mothers of infants aged 6–24 months. Data were collected using structured questionnaires covering sociodemographic characteristics and the time for introduction ofcomplementary feeding. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, descriptive statistics described the prevalence of timely initiation, bivariate logistic regression assessed the relationship between sociodemographic factors and early initiation of CF. Most mothers (89.8%) initiated complementary feeding at the recommended age of 6–8 months, 9.0% introduced foods before six months, and 1.2% after eight months. Early initiation was significantly associated with maternal education level (p = 0.006), and grandmothers as source information (p = 0.010), where mothers with lower education were more likely to introduce foods prematurely (AOR = 3.39, 95% CI: 1.02–11.32). Mothers who received information from grandmothers were more likely to introduce CF on time (AOR = 2.73, 95% CI: 1.06–6.98). The study highlights the importance of education and family influence on infant feeding practices and recommends strengthening health education for mothers, especially those with lower education, to improve adherence to CF guidelines.
