Attitude of Office and Information Management (OIM) Students Towards The Learning of Pitman Shorthand

The study investigated the attitude of Office and Information Management students towards the learning of shorthand. The research design for the study was descriptive research of the survey type. The case-study research design was used. The population for the study was 45, consisting of all Office and Information Management (OIM) students in Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology, Ikere-Ekiti from 100 – 300 levels during the second semester of 2022/2023 academic session. The total population of 44 was used as the sample but only 36 copies of administered questionnaire were returned which formed the sample for the study. The questionnaire was tested for validity and reliability with a coefficient of 0.76, using crombach alpha. Data collected were analyzed with frequency count, mean and standard deviation for research questions and hypotheses were tested using PPMC at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed no significant relationship between students’ attitude and the factors responsible for students’ attitude to learning shorthand, and no significant relationship between students’ attitude to shorthand learning and lecturers’ disposition towards shorthand learning. It was concluded that factors responsible for OIM students’ poor performance or negative attitude to shorthand reside in them and only the teacher with determination to succeed can help them. It is recommended, among others, that Shorthand lecturers should help students by encouraging them, emphasizing the benefits of learning shorthand such as improved communication skill, ability to use it to keep secrets, fast note taking, accuracy in writing, employability, being an accurate worker and being a good memory aid for their bosses, among others.

Motivational attitudes of personality of potential scientific and technical elite of Russia

Introduction. The article presents a theoretical analysis of the need-motivational sphere of the individual, identifying its most important features. The purpose of this analysis was to reveal and substantiate such a substantive component of the theoretical model of the psychology of the subject of the modern scientific and engineering elite as the need-motivational one. To substantiate and test the theoretical model, a comprehensive empirical study was carried out aimed at studying the psychological characteristics of the personality of a representative of the scientific and technical community. Particular emphasis was placed on the study of promising youth (students).Materials and Methods. The following psychodiagnostic tools were used in the study: diagnostics of socio-psychological attitudes of the individual in the motivational-need sphere by O.F. Potemkina, “coping test” (the technique was developed by R. Lazarus and S. Folkman, adapted by T.L. Kryukova, E.V. Kuftyak, M.S. Zamyshlyaeva), emotional intelligence test by D.V. Lyusin (EmIn). A comparative analysis of the results obtained was carried out using methods of mathematical statistics (Kruskal-Wallis H test), and correlation analysis (Spearman) was also used. The study sample consisted of first-year engineering and technical students of the National Research Nuclear University "MEPhI" in the amount of 111 people, who were distributed into 3 groups: Institute of Nanotechnologies in Electronics, Spintronics and Photonics (INTEL) – 15 people; Engineering Physics Institute of Biomedicine (IFIB) – 27 people; Institute of Laser and Plasma Technologies (LAPLAZ) – 69 people.Results. Comparative data analysis showed differences between samples. They are expressed in the type of motivation, in the orientation “towards the result” or “process”. The study showed some alarming trends: purely engineering students are more focused on material values and social benefits, while being emotionally restrained and low in contact. Materials scientists and biomedical specialties are focused on communicative interaction and social support, and are more emotionally relaxed.Discussion and Conclusions. The empirical study, and especially its results, confirmed the feasibility of using the theoretical model and showed its viability. A comparative analysis made it possible to identify common and special features in the manifestation of motivational attitudes among students of various technical profiles.

Exploring technical college student’s collaborative problem solving and teamwork skills in multi-educational level engineering design teams

ABSTRACT Manufacturing engineers work in teams with a wide range of skills and credentials. Teamwork and collaborative problem solving (CPS) skills enable higher productivity and efficiency. However, these skills are largely absent from engineering education curricula and research in contexts involving multi-educational teams inclusive of technical college engineering students. We address this gap in research and practice through a qualitative case study exploring the contributions, experiences, and perspectives of technical college students working in multi-educational level teams to solve real-world engineering manufacturing problems. Data analyses resulted in six themes: (1) positive team culture, (2) valuing industry skills, (3) sharing responsibilities to iteratively make changes, (4) applying technical roles, (5) peer interactions, and (6) career preparation. Technical college students’ perceptions of challenges and successes are also discussed. Results imply that to effectively promote CPS and teamwork in similar contexts educators and industry leaders should consider the importance of (1) valuing students’/workers’ current professional identities while promoting productive conflict, (2) respecting differing team roles while encouraging skill development, and (3) fostering future career skills.
