“…Ambulance Australia, the highest-ranked television program in our study by the participants (M=4.59), highlighted that reality TV shows about paramedics did not influence the decision to become a paramedic. This finding does not correlate with the literature, where programs such as CSI contributed to increased enrolment into forensic or criminal-investigation-themed courses (15); and L.A. Law contributed to increasing enrolment in law schools in the United States (16). This study instigated a review of the motivators for choosing a career as a paramedic.…”

Introduction This study aimed to identify and assess the factors, motivations and influences on undergraduate students’ choice of paramedicine for their studies and ultimately a career in paramedicine. Methods A survey was available to 205 first-year Bachelor of Paramedic Science students to assess background, motivational factors and influences on choosing their undergraduate studies. Results The response rate to an online survey distributed to 205 students yielded an almost 25% response rate (n=51). Altruistic factors were the main reason students chose to study for a degree in paramedic science and ultimately a career in paramedicine. Although essential, extrinsic, sociodemographic and interpersonal factors were less motivating factors. Despite other research suggesting media coverage leads to increased student enrolments, the media coverage of paramedics as frontline health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic and the ‘lights and sirens’ effect of ambulance/paramedic reality television shows as influences were not highly regarded. Conclusion The altruistic factors inﬂuencing career choices in paramedicine are generally similar across the healthcare industry. In this review, the motivating nature of extrinsic, interpersonal and sociodemographic factors was generally inconclusive. However, these factors may well apply to a university’s initial recruitment strategy and as a factor for ambulance services to consider when identifying the motivating factor of a student paramedic to join the workforce.

“…Dizinin fon müziğinden diyaloglarına kadar yıllarca etkisini sürdürmüştür. Televizyon dizilerinin bireylerin algılarını ve tutumlarını değiştirdiğine yönelik birçok çalışma (Shehan, 1979;Baños, Lucena, & Farré , 2019;Boštjan, Vanja, Igor, & Bojan , 2020) mevcuttur. Dizilerin olayları öyküleştirmesi, bir hikâye veya yaşanmışlık olarak sunması bireylerin durumu benimsemesini veya içselleştirmesini kolaylaştırmaktadır.…”

Diziler, insanlar için vakit geçirmeyi sağlayan, onları günlük telaşlarından uzaklaştıran eğlence araçlarından bir tanesidir. Dizilerde yansıtılan yaşantılar ve karakterler bazen doğrudan bazen de dolaylı olarak izleyicilerin zihnine belli yapıları inşa etmektedir. Dizilerin etkililiği, diziler aracılığıyla verilen mesajlar ile sağlanmaktadır. Dini içerikli TV dizilerinde İslami kimliğin nasıl sunulduğu ve yansıtılan ile var olan arasında nasıl bir mesafenin olduğunu ortaya koymak araştırmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi seçilmiş ve söylem analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma örneklemi için Kızılcık Şerbeti dizisi seçilmiştir. Çözümlemeler, 8-15 Mayıs arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler çözümlenerek araştırma sonucunda İslami kimliğinin ve İslam dininin seküler kesim tarafından uygarlığın gerisinde ve eğitimsiz bireylerin bir inancı olarak konumlandırıldığı bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Muhafazakâr kesim ile de bu savın doğrulanarak, içselleştirilerek sunulduğu görülmüştür. Varılan bir diğer sonuç ise muhafazakâr kesimin yansıttığı kültürel davranışların birer İslami kimlik değeri olarak sunulduğu ve İslam dini için dezenformasyon sağladığıdır. İslam dininde yer alan ilkelerin bağlamsız olarak yer aldığı, bu nedenle irrasyonel ve abartılı sunularak spekülasyon oluşturduğu gözlemlenmiştir.

The number of students pursuing science and engineering is reducing drastically over the years which is of great concern to the country. Hence, in 2011, the Malaysia Education Blueprint was initiated emphasizing on the role of STEM for establishing a scientific and innovative society. The National STEM Movement has taken the step forward to make the blueprint a reality by initiating the STEM Mentor-Mentee program in schools facilitated by universities. Universiti Selangor (Unisel) contributed actively through the participation of lecturers as facilitators and students as mentors. Fondly known as the Unisel Fun with STEM program, the team has shared their modules with seven schools in Selangor. This particular study is focusing on one of the schools, SMK Sungai Burong involving 60 students and 3 teachers, assessing the effectiveness of the module and the impact of mentoring approach. A five Likert scale survey was conducted at the end of the program with each of the four domains received positive feedback. The program itself was well-executed with the mean score of 4.24. The response towards the mentoring approach was very favourable, resulting in the mean score of 4.61. This outreach program is considered effective as students demonstrated positive attitude towards the module and STEM field.
