Published: June 2024

Background

With the global increase of cesarean deliveries, breech presentation is the third indication for elective cesarean delivery. Implementation of external cephalic version (ECV), in which the position of the baby is manipulated externally to prevent breech presentation at term, remains suboptimal. Increasing knowledge for caretakers and patients is beneficial in the uptake of ECV implementation. In recent decades, the internet has become the most important source of information for both patients and health care professionals. However, the use and availability of the internet also bring about concerns since the information is often not regulated or reviewed. Information needs to be understandable, correct, and easily obtainable for the patient. Owing to its global reach, YouTube has great potential to both hinder and support spreading medical information and can therefore be used as a tool for shared decision-making.

Objective

The objective of this study was to investigate the available information on YouTube about ECV and assess the quality and usefulness of the information in the videos.

Methods

A YouTube search was performed with five search terms and the first 35 results were selected for analysis. A quality assessment scale was developed to quantify the accuracy of medical information of each video. The main outcome measure was the usefulness score, dividing the videos into useful, slightly useful, and not useful categories. The source of upload was divided into five subcategories and two broad categories of medical or nonmedical. Secondary outcomes included audience engagement, misinformation, and encouraging or discouraging ECV.

Results

Among the 70 videos, only 14% (n=10) were defined as useful. Every useful video was uploaded by educational channels or health care professionals and 80% (8/10) were derived from a medical source. Over half of the not useful videos were uploaded by birth attendants and vloggers. Videos uploaded by birth attendants scored the highest on audience engagement. The presence of misinformation was low across all groups. Two-thirds of the vloggers encouraged ECV to their viewers.

Conclusions

A minor percentage of videos about ECV on YouTube are considered useful. Vloggers often encourage their audience to opt for ECV. Videos with higher audience engagement had a lower usefulness score compared to videos with lower audience engagement. Sources from medically accurate videos should cooperate with sources with high audience engagement to contribute to the uptake of ECV by creating more awareness and a positive attitude of the procedure, thereby lowering the chance for a cesarean delivery due to breech presentation at term.
Burden and Inattentive Responding in a 12-Month Intensive Longitudinal Study: Interview Study Among Young Adults
Authors: Wang Shirlene D , Hatzinger Lori , Morales Jeremy , Hewus Micaela , Intille Stephen , Dunton Genevieve F
Published: June 2024

Background

Intensive longitudinal data (ILD) collection methods have gained popularity in social and behavioral research as a tool to better understand behavior and experiences over time with reduced recall bias. Engaging participants in these studies over multiple months and ensuring high data quality are crucial but challenging due to the potential burden of repeated measurements. It is suspected that participants may engage in inattentive responding (IR) behavior to combat burden, but the processes underlying this behavior are unclear as previous studies have focused on the barriers to compliance rather than the barriers to providing high-quality data.

Objective

This study aims to broaden researchers’ knowledge about IR during ILD studies using qualitative analysis and uncover the underlying IR processes to aid future hypothesis generation.

Methods

We explored the process of IR by conducting semistructured qualitative exit interviews with 31 young adult participants (aged 18-29 years) who completed a 12-month ILD health behavior study with daily evening smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) surveys and 4-day waves of hourly EMA surveys. The interviews assessed participants’ motivations, the impact of time-varying contexts, changes in motivation and response patterns over time, and perceptions of attention check questions (ACQs) to understand participants’ response patterns and potential factors leading to IR.

Results

Thematic analysis revealed 5 overarching themes on factors that influence participant engagement: (1) friends and family also had to tolerate the frequent surveys, (2) participants tried to respond to surveys quickly, (3) the repetitive nature of surveys led to neutral responses, (4) ACQs within the surveys helped to combat overly consistent response patterns, and (5) different motivations for answering the surveys may have led to different levels of data quality.

Conclusions

This study aimed to examine participants’ perceptions of the quality of data provided in an ILD study to contribute to the field’s understanding of engagement. These findings provide insights into the complex process of IR and participant engagement in ILD studies with EMA. The study identified 5 factors influencing IR that could guide future research to improve EMA survey design. The identified themes offer practical implications for researchers and study designers, including the importance of considering social context, the consideration of dynamic motivations, and the potential benefit of including ACQs as a technique to reduce IR and leveraging the intrinsic motivators of participants. By incorporating these insights, researchers might maximize the scientific value of their multimonth ILD studies through better data collection protocols.

Authors: Bevilacqua Roberta , Benadduci Marco , Barbarossa Federico , Amabili Giulio , Di Donna Valentina , Martella Clotilda , Pelliccioni Giuseppe , Riccardi Giovanni Renato , Maranesi Elvira
Published: June 2024

Background

Among the older population, Parkinson disease (PD) stands out as a leading contributor to disability. Clinically, the foremost objectives in managing PD involve proactively delaying and preventing disability. Understanding the pivotal role of gait and balance in daily functionality holds substantial clinical significance, signaling imminent disability and prompting a reevaluation of management approaches. A key priority lies in identifying novel and effective interventions for symptoms that substantially contribute to disability.

Objective

This paper presents a systematic review that critically examines the existing body of literature on the use of technology in the rehabilitation of older patients with PD. By synthesizing current evidence, we aim to provide insights into the state of the field, identify gaps in knowledge, and offer recommendations for future research and clinical practice.

Methods

A systematic review of the literature was conducted in September 2023 analyzing manuscripts and papers of the last 5 years from the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. A total of 14 papers were included. The inclusion criteria are as follows: (1) randomized controlled trial, (2) PD in people aged 65 years and older, and (3) use of technology in the rehabilitation training in the older population.

Results

A large portion of effective interventions relies on the incorporation of technology, particularly through virtual reality exergames. This technology appears to have effects not only on the cognitive aspect but also on the physical domain. The analysis of the results clearly indicates that, in terms of gait and balance performance, the technological intervention outperforms the traditional approach, irrespective of the specific technology employed.

Conclusions

This systematic review seeks to shed light on the evolving landscape of technology-assisted rehabilitation for older individuals with PD. As we delve into the available evidence, we will assess the extent to which technology can serve as a valuable adjunct to conventional therapy, offering new avenues for optimized care and improved outcomes in this growing patient demographic. As we sift through the existing evidence, our goal is to evaluate the potential of technology as a valuable supplement to traditional therapy, presenting fresh opportunities for enhanced care and better outcomes in this expanding patient demographic.
Generalization of a Deep Learning Model for Continuous Glucose Monitoring–Based Hypoglycemia Prediction: Algorithm Development and Validation Study
Authors: Shao Jian , Pan Ying , Kou Wei-Bin , Feng Huyi , Zhao Yu , Zhou Kaixin , Zhong Shao
Published: June 2024

Background

Predicting hypoglycemia while maintaining a low false alarm rate is a challenge for the wide adoption of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices in diabetes management. One small study suggested that a deep learning model based on the long short-term memory (LSTM) network had better performance in hypoglycemia prediction than traditional machine learning algorithms in European patients with type 1 diabetes. However, given that many well-recognized deep learning models perform poorly outside the training setting, it remains unclear whether the LSTM model could be generalized to different populations or patients with other diabetes subtypes.

Objective

The aim of this study was to validate LSTM hypoglycemia prediction models in more diverse populations and across a wide spectrum of patients with different subtypes of diabetes.

Methods

We assembled two large data sets of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The primary data set including CGM data from 192 Chinese patients with diabetes was used to develop the LSTM, support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF) models for hypoglycemia prediction with a prediction horizon of 30 minutes. Hypoglycemia was categorized into mild (glucose=54-70 mg/dL) and severe (glucose<54 mg/dL) levels. The validation data set of 427 patients of European-American ancestry in the United States was used to validate the models and examine their generalizations. The predictive performance of the models was evaluated according to the sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

Results

For the difficult-to-predict mild hypoglycemia events, the LSTM model consistently achieved AUC values greater than 97% in the primary data set, with a less than 3% AUC reduction in the validation data set, indicating that the model was robust and generalizable across populations. AUC values above 93% were also achieved when the LSTM model was applied to both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in the validation data set, further strengthening the generalizability of the model. Under different satisfactory levels of sensitivity for mild and severe hypoglycemia prediction, the LSTM model achieved higher specificity than the SVM and RF models, thereby reducing false alarms.

Conclusions

Our results demonstrate that the LSTM model is robust for hypoglycemia prediction and is generalizable across populations or diabetes subtypes. Given its additional advantage of false-alarm reduction, the LSTM model is a strong candidate to be widely implemented in future CGM devices for hypoglycemia prediction.

Writing and language in the past are at the forefront of people's self-expression and communication methods. It can be considered as an important communication tool, one of the four main elements of hip-hop culture. Graffiti is a wall art that is written, drawn or sprayed. Along with technology, the boundaries of art began to expand, and works of art in virtual universes emerged in contemporary art. Graffiti, which is an artistic production area, has also turned into a new art platform. In the traditional graffiti understanding; Instead of using marker pens or spray paint on the walls, it has become possible to make drawings digitally without risk. However, the technological possibilities provided in the art of digital graffiti can also bring about deficiencies such as reducing the amount of physical and emotional experiences and depriving the experience of living. In this context, an interview was held with Tunç Dindaş, one of the graffiti artists, in order to determine the graffiti artists' approaches to technology and their usage purposes. Tunç Dindaş, nicknamed "Turbo", one of the artists who made a name for himself in the graffiti world, shapes his worksis shaped around Turkish culture and Istanbul.

20.yüzyılın ikinci yarısında tiyatro uygulamalarında deneysel arayışlara yönelen pek çok yönetmen olmuştur. Bu yönetmenler çalışmalarının merkezine oyuncu ve bedenini, farklı mekân kullanımlarını, seyirci ile ilişki kurma ve onu yaratım sürecinin etkin bir parçasına dönüştürmeyi amaçlayan çalışmalar yapmışlardır. Peter Brook bu yönetmenlerin en önemlilerinden biridir. Değişime, dönüşüme ve yeni sorular sormaya her zaman açık olan Peter Brook; yönetmen kimliğini yüceltmek yerine, seyirci ve oyuncu birlikteliğinin binlerce yıldır özel kıldığı tiyatro anını yeniden ortaya çıkarmak için kendinden ve kariyerinden vazgeçebilme becerisine sahip bir tiyatro insanıdır. Onun cesareti ve sorduğu sorular sanat yaşamının merkezine oyuncuyu yerleştirmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı 2022 yılının temmuz ayında kaybettiğimiz çağdaş tiyatronun en önemli isimlerinden biri olan Peter Brook’un oyuncularla çalışma biçiminin izini sürmektir. Bu takibin en önemli nedeni kendi deneyiminde yenilikçi ve her türlü statükoyu sorgulayan, bu anlamda da çağdaş tiyatronun bugün tartışılan önemli konularında öncü denemeler yapan bir yönetmenin pratik yaşantımızda faydalı olacağı düşüncesidir.

COMBINATION OF PHOTOCATALIST TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) AND H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) IN LAUNDRY WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Authors: Teuku Muhammad Ashari  , Marlisa  , Yeggi Darnas  , Khairun Nisah
Published: June 2024

Any laundry operation will discharge the waste water directly to the water surface, which can lead to pollution in the water. One method that can be used to treat laundry wastewater is a photocatalytic method with TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide) as an UV-assisted catalyst that is combined with a strong H2O2 oxidizer to produce OH (hydroxyl radical) to oxidize pollutants. The study aims to determine the differences in pH, TSS, BOD, COD, and Phosphate separation values with combination of TiO2 and H2O2 doses with variations in UV exposure time for 30, 60, and 90 minutes. A good quality TSS level obtained in the 60th minute with a dose of 1 g TiO2 and in combination with 10 ml H2O2 can reduce TSS levels by 20 mg/l from the initial TSS with a residual weight of 180 mg/L. A decrease in the quality COD level at a 90 minute clearance time with a dosage of 1 gr TiO2, in a combination of 10 ml H2O2, can reduce the COD levels by 32.5 mg/ l from the original COD value of 89.1 mg/l. A reduction in the phosphate level achieved at the cleaning time of 30 minutes at a combined dose of 4 gr TiO2 in a 40 ml combination, can lower the phosphatic level by 0.05 mg /l from the starting value of 5.61 mg/l and already meet the quality standard of laundry waste water.

Authors: Wang Qing-Wen , Gao Zi-Han , Xie Lv-ming
Published: June 2024

In comparison to quaternions, split quaternions exhibit a more intricate
algebraic structure, characterized by the presence of nontrivial zero
factors. Furthermore, in various fields such as geometry and
electromagnetism, split quaternions serve as more convenient research
tools than quaternions. This paper aims to establish the necessary and
sufficient conditions for the existence of (anti-) η-Hermitian
solutions to a novel system of matrix equations formulated over split
quaternions. We also provide the general expression of such solutions
when the system is solvable, along with the least squares (anti-)
η-Hermitian solution in the case of inconsistency. To illustrate
the key findings of this paper, numerical examples are presented.

“I Almost Died”: Knowledges of Pain in a Finnish School for Refugee-Background Adults
Authors: Ennser-Kananen Johanna
Published: June 2024

This critical ethnographic study investigated how knowledges of pain (KoP) surfaced and were negotiated in the classroom discourse of a Finnish adult basic education (ABE) context, more specifically, a school for adult learners with forced migration experience. The emergence of students’ KoP, for instance, their stories of war, violence, and injury, are analyzed through the framework of Critical Race Pedagogy (CRP), which aims to validate and center the experiences of people of color (POC) in educational settings. Conceptualizing KoP as world knowledges, as invitations for self-reflection and re/positioning, and as interruptions, allows for an examination of their pedagogical and transformative potential. The findings show that a variety of KoP came to the fore, claiming and receiving different amounts of space and attention, including instances when they complemented the lesson content. KoP tended to cause minor interruptions to traditional power dynamics and classroom roles, which could nevertheless be entry points for developing ABE-specific CRP. Also, instances of teacher-imposed KoP were documented, which raises the question of how antiracist education can legitimize and incorporate students’ desire for peace and belonging.
Evaluation of Morphometric Differences among Local Chicken Populations in Doba and Mesala Districts, West Hararghe Zone, Ethiopia
Authors: SA* Musa
Published: June 2024

The study was conducted in the Doba and Mesala district of the West Hararghe Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia to evaluate the morphometric difference among indigenous chicken populations. Samples were selected purposively based on the extent of chicken production potential and the agroecology of the districts. From each district, three kebeles were selected and 200 respondents (102 from the Doba and 98 from Mesala) were randomly selected from households included in the study for the questionnaire survey. A total of 420 adult live chickens of both sexes, 210 chickens (92 male and 118 female) older than 24 weeks from Doba, and 210 chickens (65 male and 145 female) from Mesala were employed for gathering information on both quantitative and qualitative traits. Multivariate variance analysis was used to determine major traits that differentiate the chicken population. Canonical discriminant multivariate statistical analysis was conducted for more powerful trait comparisons. Stepwise discriminant analysis was conducted to check the discriminating power of the traits. For both male and female hens, the stepwise discriminate analysis showed that the majority of quantitative variables showed significant (p<.0001) discriminating power in phenotypic variation. The Wilks' Lambda test reveals that differences within populations, rather than the variation between populations were accountable for 43% of the variability in the female sample population and 68% in the male sample population. Agro-ecologically sound and community-based genetic improvement programs should be developed and implemented with the inclusion of breeding objectives, trait preferences, and a production system that is focused on the market. Generally, there were morphological trait variations observed among the indigenous chicken populations across the study districts and between sexes, which suggests that there is an opportunity for genetic improvement through selection. Thus, farmers should get technical support on how to select the best indigenous chicken for breeding purposes and the formulation of a breeding plan should be implemented to conserve indigenous chicken genetic resources for genetic improvement strategies.
The Main Forms of the Influence of Military Conflicts on Climate Change: On the Example of Russian-Ukrainian War
Authors: Buchyn Mykola
Published: June 2024

The article analyses the influence of military conflicts on climate change. The author argues that the relationship between military conflicts and climate change is bilateral: on the one hand, the cause of military conflicts may be climate changes; on the other hand, military conflicts have a negative inflyence on the environment, causing climate change. Using analysis, the main forms of influence of military conflicts on climatic changes of both local and global scales were revealed. The author's approach to the classification of the main forms of influence of military conflicts on climate change on the planet is proposed. The basis of the approach is the differentiation of the forms of influence of military conflicts on climate change according to such criteria as the scale of the consequences of climate change (local, regional, and global forms of influence); nature of influence (direct and indirect forms of influence); time frames of influence (short-term, medium-term and long-term forms of influence); object of influence (greenhouse emissions and atmospheric pollution; soil pollution; water and groundwater pollution; destruction of forests and agricultural lands; destruction of biological diversity). The author focuses on the fact that climate change was not the cause of Russian aggression against Ukraine. The EU's energy dependence on Russian energy resources contributed to Russian aggression. The main forms of influence of the Russian-Ukrainian war on climate change are analyzed. It is shown that the scale of the Russian-Ukrainian war leads to climate change not only at the local and regional levels, but also causes climatic changes on the scale of the entire planet.

Authors: Jannahti Adik Bela , Lasmana Cecep , Fauzi Muchammad
Published: June 2024

The study aimed to assess the efficacy of HPLC instruments in a pharmaceutical laboratory at PT. XYZ by evaluating three OEE matrices (availability, performance, and quality) and identifying the losses leading to low OEE scores affecting the chromatography process performance. The method used is quantitative to calculate the availability rate, performance rate, and quality ratio based on the breakdown data and quantity of product data, followed by calculating the OEE score and comparing the obtained OEE and the world-class standard OEE score. The results demonstrate that the average availability rate in 2022 is 90,73%, the performance rate is 90,45%, and the quality ratio is 95,55%, resulting in the OEE score of 78,42%, which does not meet the world-class OEE standards score. To identify the problems causing the low OEE score, a qualitative analysis is performed using Current Condition Analysis and Fish Bone Diagram. Research indicates that five factors contribute to low OEE scores for HPLC instruments in PT. XYZ, including Method, Man, Machine, Material, and Environment. For each factor, the proposed improvement is described to increase the OEE score, including establishing the maintenance procedure, a training program for laboratory personnel, inventory management for spare parts, and an operating procedure. Keywords: Total Productive Maintenance, Overall Equipment Effectiveness, HPLC, Fish Bone Diagram

Authors: Suaib Robih Alfian Hastrianda , Mansur Agus , Basuki Demas Emirbuwono , Aulia Baiq Putri Rizka
Published: June 2024

Alvian MSMEs is a company engaged in printing, which serves ordering calendars, banners or billboards. The problem faced by Alvian MSMEs today is supply chain activities and production that are usually late so that products experience a decrease in buying interest from customers. To overcome these problems, MSMEs mitigate risks in supply chain and production activities using the HOR (House Of Risk) Method. Based on Hor phase 1, 12 risk events and risk agents were obtained. The identification results show that  the highest risk agent is low-quality raw materials (A9). This risk agent has the highest value because it can cause risk events in the form of poor quality or defects (E9). In HOR phase 2, 6 priorities were obtained for risk mitigation to prevent system failure (PA3), implementing preventive maintenance routines is a top priority. With an ETDk value of 10386, PA3 mitigation measures can reduce risk factors such as manufacturing defects, misconceptions of customer specifications, and quality testing problems, improper maintenance, overuse, system failure, technical problems with printing machines, staff or management failures, no routine monitoring of machine checks (A11,A8,A4,A5,A7).

Homeroom teachers in special education make outstanding efforts and are extremely devoted to their work. However, they must contend with frustrated parents who are disappointed with the inability of these teachers to meet their needs and expectations. Accordingly, it is of great interest to examine parents' perceptions of the role of the homeroom teacher in special education. The current study examines these perceptions regarding four dimensions of the homeroom teacher’s functioning versus the parents: Professionality, trustworthiness, availability, and empowerment. Parents' perceptions were examined in comparison with those of teachers at special education schools. The sample included 100 parents and 101 teachers in special education schools. The data were collected by a questionnaire constructed by the researchers in a previous study. The questionnaire includes four parts, examining the dimensions mentioned above. The teachers' questionnaire was identical, but they were instructed to refer to the relationship between the homeroom teacher and the parents. The findings show that the parents gave significantly lower evaluations than the teachers on all four dimensions: the homeroom teacher was perceived by the parents as less professional, less trustworthy, less available, and less empowering than evaluated by the teachers. The findings have practical implications for the training of special education teachers and for the professional development of teachers and also for coordinating expectations and defining boundaries that might help both homeroom teachers and parents form a constructive relationship.

The Supervision process requires both supervisors and supervisees to perceive supervisors’ qualities as a determining criterion in the selection of supervisors. In order to investigate supervisors’ characteristics valued by supervisees and their effect on the supervision process in the English department at the University of Tiaret, two questionnaires were handed to 40 Master 2 Didactic students and 10 teachers selected through purposive sampling The data generated were subject to quantitative and qualitative analysis. The findings revealed that supervisees appreciate supportive, flexible, responsive, available and knowledgeable supervisors. Results also suggested that directive, demanding, unresponsive and inaccessible supervisors are not appreciated. Further, it was found that lack of clear guidelines on how to choose a good supervisor, lack of awareness of the roles of supervisors and supervisees and obliviousness of supervisors’ contribution to supervisees’ overall development were the principal reasons causing challenges in finding a suitable supervisor. The findings also showed that supervisors’ selected characteristics enhance supervision by creating an inclusive and productive environment that reaches intended outcomes efficiently. Considering these results, the following pedagogical implications are offered. The study argues for organizing seminars to inform (future) supervisees of characteristics of good supervisors and how to choose a suitable one, cultivating a positive relationship between supervisors and supervisees by clarifying the roles of each, scheduling meetings between supervisors and supervisees to create a code of conduct for working together on long terms, regulating guidelines for supervisor selection and tailoring supervisory programs that prioritize the characteristics identified in this research.
Synchronous Virtual Learning in Ubiquitous Learning Paradigm and Effective Mathematics Teaching

Learning generally has taken a new dimension in this present era. Virtual learning has become increasingly popular recently due to technological advancement. Learning has moved from didactic pedagogy characterized by a teacher-centered approach where knowledge is transmitted from the instructor to the learner to a virtual, mobile, blended/ hybrid, e-learning mode of instruction. Learning is now a form of a Transformative approach to teaching and learning that goes beyond acquiring knowledge and skills only to create profound changes in individuals' beliefs, attitudes, values, and behavior. To obtain the necessary skills required for learning, the learners should have access to learning, and learning should be flexible and occur anywhere anytime through virtual instruction. The study emphasizes the ubiquitous (u-learning) paradigm, synchronous virtual learning in particular, and teachers' role in mathematics teaching and learning. This research has contributed valuable insights into how synchronous virtual learning can improve mathematics teaching and learning, support diverse learners, and inform instructional practices in digital environments. The implication of using synchronous virtual learning is to promote active engagement, social interaction, and peer collaboration, enhancing student comprehension and problem-solving skills. Since learning cannot be limited to didactic instruction, virtual learning should be considered for effective mathematics learning.

The Duchenne smile is the genuine smile characterized by the activation of the muscles around the eyes and mouth. It has been associated, in the specialized literature, with the experience of positive emotions. Through the present work, using a qualitative approach, we aimed to identify and systematize the studies carried out in the period 2010-2023 that investigated the relationship between the Duchenne smile and positive emotions. Following the application of specific keywords, 611 studies were identified, from which, after applying the inclusion-exclusion criteria, 8 studies were included in the review. A conclusion could not be drawn regarding the idea that the Duchenne smile is indisputably an indicator of positive emotions, but the data provide us with important information such as the following: the Duchenne smile is associated with experiencing positive emotions (happiness, joy, hope, contentment) and manifests itself in the context of affiliation and cooperation. It has an important role in triggering extended cognitive states (attentional ones) and can be performed voluntarily (in the presence/absence of a positive emotion), having the same health benefits as spontaneous smiling. In addition, the Duchenne smile increases the acceptance rate of feedback given by teachers in class. The relationship between the Duchenne smile and positive emotions is context dependent.

Adopting an Emotional Style by the classroom teacher implies the emotional maturity of the personality expressed in emotional skills: awareness of emotional states, emotional balance and discipline, expression of feelings reflected in a style of conduct. The difference between other teaching styles and the emotional one comes from the focus on individual roles. The education of students is directly dependent on teachers, mentors, tutors or coaches, who have a strong influence in their educational journey and a well-defined role in their lives.

Formative assessment is a primary process within the preschool education system because it contributes to the optimization of the instructional actions carried out by the teacher. Working directly with preschoolers need to lead to a constant observation of their evolution, progress, development. Assessment in early childhood should be performed for the primary aim of supplying teachers with useful information to plan more careful children’s ongoing development and to involve evaluation strategies that develop rather than threaten children’s feelings of self-confidence and positive social attitudes. Kindergarten teachers are important catalyst for developing opportunities to increase preschoolers’ abilities, knowledge and validate/improve their performances through formative measures in terms of assessment. This study is conducted to investigate teachers' perceptions on formative assessment in kindergarten. Through a focus group we planned to gather responses of 12 kindergarten teachers, therefore our approach presents results of this analysis. At the same time, present article emphasizes on importance of using different formative instruments and methods in order to facilitate children progress and knowledge development along the way in the didactic process.
