“…The steady rise in the percentage of students reporting research necessary for the chiropractic profession, from 67.75% in 1996 20 to 75% in 2003 21 and to 99% as reported in this study, may indicate a profession-wide trend. This may be explained by cultural changes over the last decade.…”

“…Zhang 20 reported in 1996 that 67.75% of students surveyed at Sherman College of Chiropractic felt research was needed within the chiropractic profession. Likewise Newell and Cunliffe 21 reported in 2003 that 75% of students surveyed at McTimoney College found research to be necessary for development in chiropractic. In accordance with these previous studies, this study reports that 99% of students in this study agreed that research was necessary for positive growth within the chiropractic profession.…”

“…[17][18][19] A thorough literature review of chiropractic journals provided only two previously published studies. 20,21 The intention of this study was to provide an up-to-date analysis of students' perceptions and attitudes toward research in chiropractic while expanding on the previous studies. This would allow us to gain insight toward the future research contributions of the next generation of chiropractors and help identify the difficulties toward participation.…”

of Chiropractic FloridaPurpose: To continue positive professional growth and boost research endeavors, chiropractic institutions need to develop a research-oriented foundation and produce a larger body of researchers. The purpose of this study was to provide a current analysis of the research culture among students at Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida. This study will gain insight toward the research contributions of the next generation of chiropractors and identify the difficulties toward participation. This will help modify current academic programs to better foster research and ensure a promising, credible future for the chiropractic profession. Methods: Participants were students at Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida enrolled in quarters 1 through 12 during the 2008 summer term. To evaluate the research culture, participants were asked to complete a 33-item web-based survey. Results: A total of 303 students completed the survey. Forty-four percent were female, and the mean age was 26 (SD D 4.2). Ninety-nine percent of respondents agreed that research was necessary for positive growth within the chiropractic profession. A majority of students reported having research experience, and 58% planned to participate in research activities prior to graduation. Technical writing was reported as the most challenging aspect of research, and heavy academic workload was reported as the greatest deterrent to participation. Conclusion: This study expresses possibilities for building a strong research culture at the college. Students were aware of the necessity for research and were openly interested in conducting research. Modification of current academic policies will allow for greater student research opportunities and the development of tomorrow's researchers. (J Chiropr Educ 2010;24(1):35-45)

“…[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Studies on chiropractic students' attitudes specifically have also been done. For example, Newell and Cunliffe 19 conducted such a study on undergraduate students at McTimoney Chiropractic College and found that 64% of their 119 student respondents found research interesting, 54% thought it was difficult, and 75% considered chiropractic research to be necessary. An earlier, smaller study on 70 randomly selected chiropractic students at Sherman College conducted in 1994 showed a similar belief that chiropractic research is necessary (71%), while only 51.6% were interested in research in general, and, interestingly at that much earlier time, only 19.4% thought research training should be a part of their training.…”

Objective: The shift toward evidence-based health care has reoriented tertiary clinical education in a way that necessitates and incorporates research. This study assesses the inclination and suitability of chiropractic students for research over a 5-year educational program. Methods: Research attributes of chiropractic students were assessed in this cross-sectional study using a validated and modified academic self-concept analysis scale. Students in first and final year were assessed in 4 domains: creativity, motivation, self-regulation, and general intellectual ability. Univariable differences were assessed using Welch 2-sample t tests, and multivariable analysis was carried out with multiple linear regression models. Results: The response rate was 71% (n ¼ 165). First-and fifth-year students scored highly on all 4 domains (80% to 96%). Compared to first-year students, fifth-year students rated themselves significantly lower in 3 of the domains Conclusion:Research suitability is high in chiropractic students. Both cohorts scored high in all domains despite the disparity between first and fifth years. First-year students outperformed fifth-year students in 3 domains, indicating a potential decline in the inclination to do research over time. However, unaccounted factors, such as the DunningKruger effect, life changes, and ''burnout,'' may have contributed to these differences. Future studies should include questions about stress, fatigue, clinical orientation, and educational environment to inform the interpretation of findings.

“…This professionalism is identified not only by their holding on a professional teacher certificate but more by their attitude toward their work. Researches around the world have found how professional attitudes influence the way teachers do their job in practice [1], [2], [3], [4] In Indonesian context, teachers' professionalism is measured by teachers' knowledge competency test (locally known as UKG) and teachers' performance test (locally known as PKG). The results of this two tests have been analyzed as having great discrepancy.…”

Abstract-This article presents the synthesis on how genuine involvement in Continuous Professional Development (CPD) can be predicted. This synthesis derives from the findings of a phenomenological study involving in depth interviews toward 12 English teachers in Indonesia. Teachers are very often justifying their professional development by submitting in documents clarifying their professional development participation. However, the study found that the frequency of professional development participation is not the best way to see their genuine involvement. The study suggests that teachers' professional enthusiasm, i.e., professional motivation, perceived impact of CPD and sustainability effort, can be considerably important component to predict their genuine involvement. Research implications regarding the evaluation on teachers' professional development are also highlighted.
