The average student learning results from written tests during cycle I were 56%, whereas the average student learning outcomes during cycle II were 84%. Applying digital learning media to dance education has been shown to improve student learning results, according to data analysis and debate.

Stunting is a condition of impaired child growth due to chronic malnutrition during the 1,000 First Days of Life (HPK), affecting physical, cognitive, and social development. In Indonesia, stunting remains a major challenge, particularly among toddlers. Providing appropriate Complementary Feeding (MP-ASI) for children aged 6-24 months is key to prevention. This article discusses an educational program for stunting prevention through the development of MP-ASI menus in Saringembat Village. The program aims to increase community awareness of the importance of balanced nutrition through three main stages: determining MP-ASI menus, preparing educational materials, and conducting socialization and MP-ASI-making practices. The menus are divided into three age groups (6-8 months, 9-12 months, and over 12 months) using local ingredients such as catfish, spinach, and potatoes.The results show increased community understanding, the effectiveness of using local ingredients, and the success of hands-on practice. A final evaluation quiz indicated that most participants understood the concept of MP-ASI and stunting prevention. This program is expected to continue to help reduce stunting rates and create a healthier generation.

Digital technology significantly impacts children's concentration. While educational apps and structured media positively influence cognitive development, learning motivation, memory, and problem-solving skills, excessive, uncontrolled use leads to negative effects. These include decreased concentration, language development issues, and dependence on devices, hindering creativity and independence. Rapid, responsive technological interactions accustom children to instant stimuli, making sustained attention difficult. Intense screen exposure can cause impulsivity, distractibility, and reduced focus. Therefore, adaptive and technology-aware parenting is crucial. Parental supervision, balanced integration, and time limits on device usage are essential to maximize benefits and minimize adverse effects on children's concentration and overall development

Knowledge about sexual harassment committed by males with intellectual disabilities remains limited, despite extensive research on offenders without disabilities. Evidence from the late 1990s suggests that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be effective for this population, with adjustments for cognitive deficits. This study systematically reviews the application of CBT to address cognitive distortions in sexual offenders with intellectual disabilities. Data were sourced from Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, Jstor, and Emerald Insight. Articles were assessed using QATFQS for quality and ROBINS-I for bias risk. Six studies involving 127 participants (ages 17–65 years) demonstrated that CBT effectively reduced cognitive distortions up to 12 months post-intervention. Success factors included the presentation of information, therapist engagement, participant motivation, prior experiences of sexual harassment, and autism spectrum diagnoses. Strengths included simplified CBT interventions, availability of manuals, and group implementation. Weaknesses involved reliance on core steps adapted from general sexual offender programs, limited manual accessibility, and a lack of control groups for evaluating intervention effectiveness.
