Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of infant and toddler development technology, specifically to a method and system for integrating medical and educational activities applicable to childcare institutions. Background Technology

[0002] Childcare institutions primarily use daily play activities for infants and toddlers, but traditional childcare institutions often lack professional integration in these activities. Especially with the current emphasis on "medical-educational integration" and scientific parenting, medical care and childcare remain separate, sometimes even involving activities inappropriate for the child's age. The activities in childcare institutions are generally static, such as tabletop games and picture book play, rather than scientifically sound physical activities. Furthermore, there is a lack of record-keeping during these activities, failing to reflect the infants' developmental abilities and hindering in-depth interaction with parents to achieve collaborative home-school education.

[0003] Childcare institutions need a standardized operating system for childcare staff that can effectively record activities and interactions with parents.

[0004] While pediatricians possess professional knowledge to guide childcare institutions, the practical and theoretical barriers to entry are high. Furthermore, the observation and assessment tools they utilize are not applicable to everyday play, making it difficult to gamify and consistently apply their guidance. This makes it unsuitable for childcare teachers' learning and daily practice. Additionally, pediatricians cannot provide long-term, frequent on-site support at childcare institutions, further hindering the practical application of their expertise and making it difficult for childcare institutions to disseminate their professional knowledge to parents. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a method and system for integrating medical and educational activities in childcare institutions.

[0006] This invention discloses a method and system for integrating medical and educational activities in childcare institutions. It includes an activity module, an activity record scale, a home-school feedback system, and a monitoring engine for integrated medical and educational activities. This enables childcare institutions to conduct integrated medical and educational activities, standardizes the operation and management of childcare staff, and provides parents with professional knowledge through templates, facilitating collaborative home-school education. (See also...) Figure 1 .

[0007] The activity module includes activity preparation, activity plan, and activity assessment items. (See also...) Figure 2 . The activity preparations include equipment and scenario-based materials to facilitate the activities and to guide childcare workers in carrying out the activities in an orderly manner.

[0008] The activity plan is a game plan that complements the scenario mode. The activity plan provides an activity environment and game demonstration to guide infants and toddlers to explore independently without the need for adults to teach them step by step. The activity plan is divided into age groups, corresponding to infants and toddlers with different behavioral abilities and developmental stages, and has a difficulty level that distinguishes the ability level of infants and toddlers in the corresponding age groups. It is acceptable for infants and toddlers not to complete the activity, which is considered a normal result of the activity plan.

[0009] The activity assessment items are observation records of infants' and toddlers' performance after the activities are carried out. Different numbers and contents of activity assessment items are set for children of different ages (e.g., the 24-36 month activity module includes fifteen assessment items, including five motor assessment items, five creative assessment items, and five cognitive assessment items), and the observation standards are marked to obtain the performance scores of infants and toddlers in carrying out the activities. The activity assessment item score levels are divided into three levels for easy and quick recording by childcare workers.

[0010] The activity record scale is used to record the scores of the activity assessment items in the activity modules. A record file is created for each infant or toddler, cycling weekly (e.g., in the 24-36 month activity module, motor activities cycle weekly, while creative and cognitive activities cycle alternately every other week). It also generates a developmental curve and provides the current score to the home-school feedback system. See also... Figure 3 .

[0011] The home-school feedback system includes a two-level map and a follow-up feedback form.

[0012] The secondary-level graph provides textual feedback on the scores corresponding to the activity assessment items and a database of recommended home practice exercises. This secondary-level graph aims to help childcare workers modularize professional content and provide parents with targeted home practice exercises, establishing a common channel between home and school. (See also...) Figure 4 .

[0013] The follow-up feedback form, based on the activity assessment scores and designated items from the planned feedback for the week, extracts specific content from the secondary atlas and outputs it to parents (e.g., for the 24-36 month follow-up feedback form, if the first week's feedback is on upper limb strength, then the description and score of upper limb strength are extracted from the secondary atlas, along with recommended games, to generate a feedback sheet for parents to implement at home). A follow-up visit is conducted the following week to obtain information on parental implementation and record it with a checkmark, thus completing the childcare worker's work record. See also... Figure 5 .

[0014] The medical-educational integrated monitoring engine includes an infant brain development correlation model and early warning of abnormal ability development.

[0015] The infant brain development correlation model described above is based on brain development theory, showing interactions between infant abilities. For example, strong upper limb strength → increased self-confidence → increased exploratory behavior → improved coordination, thus creating a correlation between upper limb strength and coordination in activity assessments. Abnormal or mismatched scores between these correlated items indicate potential abnormal interfering factors or illnesses in the infant, requiring further screening and assessment. (See also...) Figure 6 .

[0016] The developmental early warning system is based on the theory of neural synaptic development. Given the rapid development and strong initiative of infants and toddlers in their early years, the activity record scale records activity assessment items continuously for approximately 15 weeks. If the developmental curve shows a consistently low and flat trend, it indicates that the infant's development is stagnant, possibly accompanied by developmental delays. The developmental curve generated by the activity record scale can be used to create an infant's growth map, enabling early detection and intervention. Beneficial effects

[0017] The advantages of this invention lie in its integration of activities with assessment and observation. Childcare institutions conduct engaging games and daily activities, recording infants' and toddlers' performance in these activities using provided assessment items. These assessment items are scientifically recorded, forming developmental curves within the activity record scale for scientific observation of infants' and toddlers' daily development. Regular and continuous daily records also help eliminate minor errors. The data from the activity record scale, combined with a home-school feedback system, allows childcare institutions to easily provide parents with professional science education and targeted guidance. Providing targeted games also helps parents observe their infants' and toddlers' developmental progress simultaneously. Parent feedback records also facilitate the management of childcare institution staff, forming a closed loop of childcare work: data-driven science education, play-based development, home-school collaboration, and feedback verification of work effectiveness. For the data recorded in daily, standardized records, a medical-educational integration detection engine can quickly detect and identify potential deviations in infants' and toddlers' brain development and possible developmental delays, enabling the orderly implementation of medical-educational integrated childcare work.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, but this does not constitute any limitation on the present invention. Any limited modifications made by any person within the scope of the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0025] This case study involves Xiong, a 25-month-old baby.

[0026] Activity Module: After training and assessment, childcare workers will prepare the scenario and necessary equipment according to Activity Plan A-11-1. (Refer to...) Figure 2 .

[0027] When conducting activities in an orderly manner, the assessment items of children's participation in the magic basin spinning activity are recorded. After all children have completed the activity, follow-up activities are carried out.

[0028] Activity Recording Scale: After the activity, enter the recorded scores into the recording scale. Week 11, upper limb strength, score 2. (See attached table) Figure 3 .

[0029] Home-School Feedback System: Based on the content of the Level 2 map, a follow-up feedback form is created by combining the prefix description, score 1, and family game 1. Parents are required to cooperate in completing and submitting the record of the family game. (See also...) Figure 4 .

[0030] When parents complete the family playtime the following week, check the box for week 11. (See also...) Figure 5 .

[0031] Medical-education integration monitoring engine: Given the significant improvement in postural reflexes, balance, and inversion in the past 11 weeks, the child's development is judged to be within the normal range. It is expected that the upper limb strength score will rise to above 3 points within 17 weeks (it actually rose to 3 points at 13 weeks), which is normal.

[0032] If scores show significant fluctuations, are uneven, or exhibit other anomalies, further screening will be conducted. See also... Figure 6 .

[0033] The technical principle of this invention is to combine activities and assessments, designing different types of activities for assessment based on brain development theories, and creating a continuous development curve through repeated assessments on a weekly basis for observing children's development. The scores obtained from these activities are also used to guide family games, encouraging parents to participate in scientific parenting.

[0034] Conducting activities is also beneficial to promoting children's development. It serves as both an assessment and a training exercise. Comprehensive coverage of abilities can help children develop in an all-round way and reduce developmental deviations.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the present invention or the practicality of the patent.
