During the last decades, multimedia assisted teaching has expanded to all types and levels of schools. The authors dealt with a question whether there is a possibility through the application of multimedia teaching materials in the natural science school subjects to eliminate students' negative attitudes to these subjects. To answer this question, a research was carried out in which the attention was paid to possibilities to eliminate students` negative attitudes to physics as the most unpopular school subject. The authors show how various aspects of students` opinion on physics can be changed due to the use of animations and interactive simulations of the physical phenomena in the teaching process. For the pedagogical intervention two kinds of multimedia teaching materials were used. The difference between them was in the level of their interactivity. Within the research students` attitudes to physics through the given explored aspects were assessed twice, once before the multimedia teaching material pedagogical intervention and the second time after it. As the research results show, although it is possible to certain rate to eliminate students` negative attitudes to physics, this possible elimination depends also on the level of the intractivity of the used multimedia teaching materials. Key words: change of the attitudes, multimedia assisted teaching, negative attitudes to school subjects, teaching physics.

The purpose of this study was to explore students' attitudes toward statistics (ATS) based on the beginning and the end of learning, based on differences in fields of study, and examine its relationship with statistical acheivement. ATS was measured by an attitude instrument, namely The Survey of Attitudes toward Statistics (SATS) which consists of six dimensions (affective, cognitive competence, difficulty, value, interest, effort). Research respondents were undergraduate students who took lectures on statistical recognition that came from at one of the universities in South Sumatra. The results of the descriptive analysis showed the variation of ATS in each dimension of attitudes classified into positive, neutral, or negative attitudes. Although there are variations in the response of student attitudes in each dimension, but the results of statistical tests have not been able to show differences in attitudes between the beginning and the end of learning in each dimension. The differences in attitudes between the beginning and the end of learning that are statistically significant are in the dimensions of affective, value, and effort. The difference in the field of student science shows the difference in ATS, but only in the dimension of value. This study does not have enough evidence to state that there is a significant relationship between student attitudes to statistics and the results of learning statistics.

The study examined the influence of training on first-year nursing department students’ attitudes on death and caring for dying patients. Utilizing the experimental model, the study sample consisted of 81 first-year students attending the nursing department of a university. Death Attitude Profile-Revised and Frommelt Attitude toward Care of the Dying Scale were used for data collection. Data analysis included means, standard deviation, and t test for related samples. Student attitudes toward death were measured as 146.43 (16.741) and 152.75 (15.132) for pre- and posttraining, respectively. Student attitudes toward caring for dying patients were established to be 103.02 (7.655) during pretraining period and 111.02 (10.359) at posttraining period. The difference between pre- and posttests for mean attitudes toward death and caring for the dying patient was statistically significant. Study results determined that training was effective in forming positive student attitudes toward death and caring for dying patients.

General School

Considerable prior research has been conducted into grade level and sex differences in students' attitudes to school, in general, and to school science, in particular. This research generally has revealed that attitudes deteriorate with increasing grade level, that girls hold more favourable general school attitudes, and that boys express more favourable attitudes to school science. As research evidence is more scarce for school subjects other than science, the present study explored grade level and sex differences in attitudes to English, mathematics, social studies and art among a sample of 1,817 Year 7–10 students. Significant declines in attitude to each school subject occurred with grade level. Girls expressed significantly more favourable attitudes towards English, social studies and art, but significantly less favourable attitudes towards mathematics. Student attitudes generally were most favourable towards English, next towards mathematics, next social studies, and least favourable towards art.

The Impact

The present study addresses the impact that placement and service models have had on nondisabled high school student attitudes. Negative attitudes have been a frequently identified barrier to participation, interactions and acceptance. 1413 typical students from two high schools, one inclusive and one traditional self-contained, were surveyed regarding their attitudes toward peers with disabilities and their recommendations for inclusive education. Results suggest that experiences in school significantly impact students' recommendations about the implementation of inclusive education.

Abstract College students often hold negative attitudes toward elders and rank this area of practice at the bottom of their future professional life; colleges and universities have an important role to play in changing attitudes and attracting more professionals to work with older adults. This study examined factors contributing to students’ attitudes toward older adults to provide suggestions for pedagogical intervention. Data was collected from 195 undergraduates participating in an online survey with questions on the quality of relationships with a grandparent and other nonfamilial older adults, previous experience and future interest in pursuing a career in an aging-related field, and The Fabroni Scale of Ageism (Fabroni et al., 2010). Path analyses using hierarchical multiple regression revealed that high quality relationships with older adults (i.e., both grandparents and nonfamilial elders) was associated with less negative attitudes and more interest in pursuing a future career in age-related jobs/internships. Although both types of relationship quality were significant in the model (p<.05), path coefficients demonstrated that relationships with nonfamilial elders have a greater impact on participants’ attitudes (β= -.250, p=.001 versus β= -.146, p=.045). Previous working/internship experiences with older adults also predicted a greater willingness to pursue a future career in an aging-related field (β= .333, p<.001). Findings suggest that colleges could increase students’ interest in pursuing aging-related careers with multiple interventions, such as developing opportunities to interact and build relationships with older adults in the community, updating information on job opportunities, pay scales, and advancement opportunities, and providing more gerontological course or modules.

Background: Communication skills play an important role in clinical practice. Attitudes toward medical communication skills   that are built since a stage of medical student, would affect practice as a doctor later.  Good communication skills based on positive attitude will improve other clinical skills that are needed as a doctor, also will help a doctor to consider the importance of the improvement of the skills quality related to it. A number of studies have explored this context widely using CSAS as an instrument that consists of 2 subscales, a positive (PAS) and a negative (NAS) subscale. This study aimed to determine the difference in attitudes among students in Faculty of Medicine Pattimura University Ambon toward medical communication skills. Method: This was a cross-sectional analytical study that used primary data, obtained using an Indonesian version CSAS questionnaire that is first validated, thus, the scale consists of 24 items within 13 items as PAS and 11 items as NAS. Subjects were 124 active students of the academic year 2014/2015, woh undergo pre-clinical (semesters 2, 4, 6 and 8) and clinical study (Co Ass), obtained through stratified random sampling and complied the restriction criteria. Data were analysed using Mann-Whitney, Kruskall-Wallis, Unpaired t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Post-Hoc Bonferroni tests with significance level of p<0,05.  Results: There were no difference in attitude toward communication skills between students across most variables; however, there were differences in negative attitudes (NAS) on medical communication skills between each batch of students (p=0.02).Conclusion: The difference in attitude toward communication skills can be seen between students across study batch in Pattimura University Faculty of Medicine.
