“…The study area has also been the site of a schistosomiasis integrated control trial for the past 5 years, thus exposing the residents and health staff to these activities. This finding is similar to those of studies performed in Kenya, Yemen, Mozambique, and Swaziland in which more than 90% of the survey populations were observed to have an awareness of schistosomiasis (Sady et al, 2015;Mwai et al, 2016;Rassi et al, 2016;Maseko et al, 2016). However, awareness is often limited to just being familiar with the name of the disease.…”

Evaluation is an important aspect in learning process. There are three aspects evaluated in learning process, namely: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects. Evaluating psychomotor aspects has put elementary school teachers in difficulty due to too many aspects to be covered in the evaluation instrument which has caused impossibility to fully implement them. This condition has been made worse by the poor understanding of some teachers on the implementation of the affective evaluation. This study explored the implementation of affective evaluation in elementary schools in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia. It was descriptive-quantitative in nature the population of the study were all the elementary schools having implemented affective evaluation in the city. The sample size was 112 teachers taken from 9 (nine) model schools. Questionnaire was used to collect data and the collected data were then analyzed descriptively and displayed in diagrams. The result of the analysis showed that the implementation of affective evaluation instruments which covered: preparation, administration, and the analysis of the score by the elementary school teachers was categorized GOOD, this was supported by the facts that all aspects of the instruments of the competence had already been covered although but not yet optimal, some improvement should be done.

Schistosomiasis remains a health problem in Central Sulawesi and an intervention is needed to eliminate the disease. Health education training has been carried out to improve knowledge on schistosmiasis prevention and transmission among elementary school children and teachers. The training targets are expected to be an agent of change to introduce schistosomiasis control measures. This study used a quasi-experimental design by providing training materials on schistosomiasis control and followed by collecting and examining stool samples, catching and examining rats, conducting snails survey and examining snails to determine cercaria presence. There were 63 elementary school children participating in the intervention as case group and there were 63 elementary school children in the control group. Structured tests were conducted to determine the improved knowledge of the participants after the health education training within three phases. The results of this research reveal that there is significant improvement on the knowledge in the intervention group and in all post-test, with p-values of 0.000. On the contrary, there is no differences between before and after health education training (p-value=0.356) in the non treated group. It can be concluded that knowledge on schistosomiasis control increases among school community after intervention.
