Abstract

The degradation of dental hard tissues caused by the acidic activities of bacteria and fermentation, coupled with the disruption of the delicate balance between demineralization and remineralization processes, leads to the formation of cavities known as dental caries. The elevated prevalence of dental caries among children can be attributed to poor oral hygiene practices. This situation arises partly due to improper tooth brushing routines and a preference for consuming cariogenic foods. Educational efforts have been undertaken to address proper tooth brushing techniques, promote a non-cariogenic diet that includes an increased intake of fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, and provide education on hand hygiene as well as regular visits to the dentist every six months. The primary objective of these endeavors is to enhance children's knowledge and awareness of maintaining oral and dental health, with the ultimate goal of reducing the incidence of caries among children. After counseling, it was found that children's knowledge regarding dental health increased by 26.23%.

Abstract

The teacher competency needed when carrying out professional duties in front of the class is Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK). One of the PCK competencies needed by teachers today is to have learning strategies according to the topic and students' conditions. In connection with this, the Kuningan University Postgraduate School, in collaboration with the Kuningan Regency Science Subject Teachers' Conference, held a Teacher Competency Improvement Workshop. The methods used in this workshop are lectures, question and answer sessions, and assignment methods. The results obtained from holding this workshop were an increase in participants' competence in packaging learning material that was easy for students to understand and appropriate for the students' conditions. This can be seen from the increase in pre-test results (mean = 0.61) to post-test PCK (mean = 61.38), indicating a rise of 40.49. Participants also increasingly understand how to package teaching materials so that they are easily understood by students and suitable for the students' conditions. This is evident when participants are given the task of completing several case examples, including those related to choosing learning strategies according to variations in topics and student conditions. Based on this, PCK training through workshops can be a solution for teacher professional development.

Garbage is one of the main issues that harm the environment, especially inorganic waste such as disposable masks. Innovative ways to manage or recycle single-use masks need to be implemented.
