BackgroundSocial media is widely used by medical students, including for learning purposes since it facilitates their involvement in the communities of inquiry where they can share, express, and engage in the development of knowledge. Navigating the use of social media requires self-regulated learning (SRL) skills. Hence, studies on the relationships between social media use and SRL skills are necessary.AimThis study aims to investigate the relationships between social media use and students’ SRL skills.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using two validated questionnaires: the Social Networking Sites for Medical Education questionnaire (SNSME, 19 items) and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ, 81 items). Cross-cultural adaptation and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were also completed for the SNSME questionnaire, followed by descriptive and bivariate analysis.Results and discussionThe SNSME questionnaire is valid for use in the current setting and consists of three subscales: (1) attitudes towards the use of social media for learning and knowledge development, (2) the use of social media for information sharing and interaction, and (3) the use of social media for knowledge development and research. Among 1,122 respondents, male students presented lower scores than female students in the total score of social media for learning (80 vs. 82, p 0.007), and public medical students showed higher scores in terms of attitudes towards the use of social media for learning and knowledge development compared to private medical students (83 vs. 81, p 0.007). The differences in SRL scores for different education stages and among students from public and private medical schools were statistically significant (426 vs. 418, p 0.003, and 436 vs. 418, p < 0.001, respectively). Levels of correlation between social media use and SRL scores were low to moderate (R 0.195–0.462, p < 0.001).ConclusionsThe adapted SNSME questionnaire in the current setting is valid and the use of social media for learning is influenced by gender and the learning environment. This study highlights the importance of supporting students in using social media for learning purposes as well as using social media as a means to increase their SRL skills.

Relasi Aswaja An-Nahdliyah dan Negara

Islam Ahlussunnah wal-Jama`ah (Aswaja) an-nahdliyah adalah bingkai Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia (NKRI). Para pendiri NU dan para pendiri negeri ini adalah orang yang identik. Dalam pandangan mereka, Indonesia sekarang tidak lagi berperang dengan Islam, mereka dengan tegas menyatakan bahwa mendirikan Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia merupakan salah satu tanggung jawab dalam menjaga dan melaksanakan syari'at non sekuler. Umat ​​Islam khususnya NU memiliki fungsi strategis dalam membangun semangat perang terhadap kolonialisme selain sebagai unsur pemersatu bangsa dan negara, sehingga wajar yang paling ampuh sampai saat ini kita berada di garda depan protektif dan peduli bagi Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia.Merawat Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia melalui nilai-nilai Aswaja menuntut penggunaan media informasi. Sedikit banyak, NU telah mengetahuinya. Selain mempublikasikan media cetak seperti Ar-Risalah, Aula, dan sejenisnya, NU juga telah mengambil keuntungan dari internet melalui cara menyebarkan NU Online sejak tahun 2003. Darinya lahirlah slogan "Teknologi sebagai Tradisi". Semoga keutuhan Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia dapat dipertahankan sampai waktu yang telah ditentukan, melalui perpaduan nilai-nilai Aswaja An-Nahdliyah ke dalam gaya hidup bernegara dan keimanan Islam di muka bumi ini.Ajaran hakiki Islam Ahlusunah wal Jama'ah yang dapat dipegang teguh melalui sarana Nahdlatul Ulama sangat erat kaitannya dengan Negara Indonesia. Ajaran tersebut adalah at-tawassuth (pola pikir pusat), at-tawazun (seimbang), al-i'tidal (tegak lurus), dan tasamuh (toleransi). Relasi di antara pelajaran Aswaja Annahdliyah di dalam Negara Indonesia sesuai dengan cita-cita luhur bangsa Indonesia. Pola pikirnya yang menjunjung tinggi toleransi dan moderasi telah membuatnya tersebar luas di dalam negara Indonesia. Banyak sekali nilai-nilai luhur yang tetap akan kita berikan dari Nahdlatul Ulama, yaitu tanah air Indonesia. Sebagai organisasi asli Indonesia, NU juga memiliki pengaruh yang baik di negara Indonesia. Indonesia dianggap menyenangkan karena pola pikir NU yang seimbang, toleran, dan ringan. Nilai-nilai aswaja sangat vital untuk dikembangkan dalam pembinaan keislaman di Indonesia saat ini. Selain itu, pelatihan Aswaja muncul karena keinginan masyarakat Indonesia, khususnya sebagai pengertian dalam pelatihan non sekuler dan pembentukan moral, pria atau wanita, dan pria atau wanita yang mulia. Penanaman nilai-nilai Aswaja tidak bisa paling efektif dilakukan di lembaga akademik formal, tetapi juga ditujukan pada jaringan yang lebih luas (non-formal dan pelatihan kasual). Misalnya, acara pengajian biasa yang dikemas dengan ulama' sangat bagus untuk menumbuhkan keahlian nilai-nilai non sekuler di masyarakat. Ini juga bertujuan untuk memperkuat pria atau wanita, moralitas, dan pria atau wanita dari jaringan. Pria atau wanita dari jaringan yang telah dibentuk dengan baik berubah menjadi pria atau wanita yang luar biasa dari bangsa dan negara juga.

THE CONTENT OF PROFESSIONAL INFORMATION COMPETENCE OF FUTURE TEACHERS OF MUSIC ART

Today one of the main directions of art and pedagogical education in our country is the introduction of the concept of competence approach in the educational process of higher education institutions for the preparation of professional information competence of future teachers of music. In the course of training future music teachers in higher education institutions, they gain key competencies for their future professional activities, but quite often they are not enough for the entire period of work, and therefore there is a problem in retraining and advanced training of these respondents. Over the past few years in music and pedagogical education there has been a reorientation of the concepts of "education", "readiness" for "professionalism", "competence" of the future music teacher. In modern conditions, the information competence of the future teacher of music is a radically new field of activity, which is formed through the introduction into the educational process of higher education institutions of electronic and information technologies.The formation of professional information competence in future music teachers in higher education institutions is closely related to the use of motivational, operational and content-oriented activities provided by the formation and functioning of professional and pedagogical training of future teachers. It is thanks to this statement that we can consider professional information musical competence as an integral characteristic of the individual, which determines its ability to solve problems and tasks that arise in various areas of musical and artistic activities based on the use of knowledge, skills, personal experience and personal orientation. Thus, the professional information competence of the future music teacher combines the ability to work with information, the ability to solve educational problems, the ability to use interactive software on the basis of which is the implementation of applied methods combined with teaching methods that are based on individual and collective work with respondents. Nowadays, the professional use of information media is the main criterion for the formation of professional information competence of the future music teacher. This type of activity of the future teacher aims at active and creative use of knowledge and skills in the direction of information and communication technologies, which is a criterion of professional suitability of the future teacher of music art.

Smoking is the inhalation and exhalation of fumes of burning tobacco and other dangerous nicotine substances that endanger health. It is also a learned behaviour capable of causing addiction. The study examined civic engagement through digital media on health risks of smoking among drivers in Onitsha, Anambra State. The study focused on drivers of registered Mass Transit companies: Eastern Mass Transit and Onitsha South Mass Transit. The study was anchored on two theories: grounded theory of smoking decision which explains pre-and-post effects of smoking quitting, and mediatisation theory which examines the long-term structural change in the role of media in culture and society. The study adopted a survey of drivers of select Mass Transit companies in Anambra State. This was to ensure that these drivers were studied in their varying work atmospheres concerning smoking. Findings of the study showed that drivers of both companies make effective use of digital media for information on the dangers of smoking while driving and erring drivers are adequately penalised. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that media messages on the dangers of smoking tobacco or other dangerous substances on the wheel should be sustained.
