Future Education

Determining university students' approaches to mobile learning gains is important in terms of future education planning. Information and records management department students are expected to have the knowledge, skills, and techniques to enable the selection, analysis, evaluation, organisation, storage, access, and use of information that exists, especially in printed or electronic information carriers. It is considered that these students' approaches and attitudes towards mobile learning are an issue that should be considered and investigated in terms of their professional development. This study aims to determine the attitudes of Karatekin University, Department of Information and Records Management students towards mobile learning. The results of the study show that the knowledge professional candidates' attitudes towards mobile learning were positive. Based on results, it is suggested to use, in the future, mobile learning tools more in both theoretical education and practical education.

Medical students' views of the subjects: Psychiatry, Neurology and Surgery were studied before and after a nine week course which included Psychiatry and Neurology. Surgery was not being taught and was regarded as a control subject. Visual analogue measures of each subject as a career possibility, its importance and its interest were obtained in addition to a ranking for career choice of eight specialties. In addition, students' attitudes to psychiatrists, neurologists and surgeons (as control) were studied using semantic differential scores. The scores on the subjects showed changes favourable to Psychiatry after teaching which were not paralleled in Neurology or Surgery. The semantic differential scores clearly discriminated the three specialists; there were small changes after teaching but the broad differences in attitude to the specialists remained. Some evidence is presented that the more favourable changes towards Psychiatry were related to the quality and intensity of teaching.

ObjectiveGraduate entry medical students’ views of psychiatry may differ from those of school leavers. This study hypothesised that (i) exposure to a psychiatry attachment is associated with a positive change in attitudes towards psychiatry in both graduate entry and non-graduate entry students, (ii) graduate entry students exhibit a more positive attitude to psychiatry compared to non-graduate entry students and (iii) graduate entry students are more interested in a career in psychiatry than non-graduate entry students.MethodsIn this study 247 medical students (118 females and 129 males) completing their psychiatry rotation were invited to complete questionnaires examining career choice, attitudes to psychiatry and career attractiveness for a range of specialties including surgery, medicine, general practice and psychiatry before and after their psychiatry attachment. Questionnaires were distributed prior to commencement of their attachment and redistributed on the final day of the attachment.ResultsOf the 165 participants in the study, 75 students entered medicine via the traditional route (without a primary degree), 49 entered via the graduate entry programme and 41 had a primary degree. Overall, medical students displayed positive attitudes towards psychiatry. However, while there was an improvement in attitudes towards psychiatry and the career attractiveness of psychiatry on completion of the rotation, no differences were found between graduate and non-graduate entry students. Psychiatry and general practice had lower ratings for career attractiveness than other specialities. No significant changes were found in the first and second choice of specialty.ConclusionOur results show that improvements in attitude and career attractiveness do not necessarily correlate with increased choice of psychiatry as a specialty. Graduate entry has been considered a possible opportunity for increasing recruitment in psychiatry but our results suggest that this may not be the case. Follow-up studies are required to determine whether career attractiveness correlates with future career choice.
