Didactic conditions for the formation of attitudes toward education as a value among primary school pupils

The following article deals with the theoretical aspects of the problem of forming the attitude of schoolchildren to education as a value. The methodology of the axiological approach is presented in which education is considered as an instrumental value. This definition of the role of education is due to the socio-cultural environment, which today is dominated by the attitude to "learning through life". Awareness of the need for continuous learning, a positive attitude to education must begin from the youngest years, that is, from the level of primary general educatio

Predicting self-care practices and glycaemic control using health belief model (HBM) in patients with insulin-treated diabetes in Malaysia

Background: The practice of diabetes self-care plays an important role in glycaemic control. However, not all patients with insulin-treated diabetes engage in their self-care activities. Although there is evidence that self-care practices in patients with insulin-treated diabetes can be understood and predicted by health beliefs proposed by Health Belief Model (HBM), little is known about adult patients due to several methodological weaknesses of previous studies. Furthermore, knowledge is lacking about adults with insulin-treated diabetes in Malaysia. Aim: To examine whether health beliefs suggested by the HBM can predict self-care practices in patients with insulin-treated diabetes in Malaysia. Methods: A longitudinal design was chosen to conduct this study for a six month period at three endocrinology clinics in Malaysia. Data for self-care practices (diet, insulin intake, exercise and SMBG) and health beliefs were measured using a self-reported questionnaire. In addition, participants’ glycaemic control was also examined as the objective measure for the self-care practices. These data were measured based on the participants’s glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) results. All data were collected twice: at baseline (Time 1) and at six months follow up (Time 2). Differences in all study variables between Time 1 and Time 2 were tested using paired t-test and McNemar’s. Multiple linear regression and multiple logistic regression were used to predict the dependent variables at different points of time. Age, gender, race and diabetes-related knowledge were statistically controlled in the regression analyses. In addition, a qualitative evaluation was carried out to explore the context of the self-care practices by interviewing diabetes educators in the study setting about their diabetes education practice. Results: A total of 159 patients with insulin-treated diabetes (aged 18-40 years) participated in this study. Of these, only 108 (67.9%) completed the study. The participants were more likely to adhere to their insulin injection than to engage in good dietary habits, regular exercise and testing SMBG ≥ 3 times per day. The mean value of HbA1c was 9.8% (SD 2.61). The self-care practices and HbA1c as well as the participants’ health beliefs remained consistent at six (6) months follow up (p >.05). The HBM significantly predicted dietary self-care, insulin intake practice and HbA1c. Of the HBM costructs, perceived benefits significantly predictive of good dietary habits at Time 1 (OR 1.92) and Time 2 (OR .23) and adherence to insulin injection at Time 1 (OR 3.17) and Time 1-2 (OR 2.68). Meanwhile, except perceived severity, all other HBM contructs were predictive of HbA1c [perceived susceptibility (β .169), perceived barriers (β -.206), perceived benefits (β -.397) and cues to action (β -.233)]. The findings of the qualitative data indicate that some participants might not have been provided with diabetes education while those who did might have received inconsistent and inaccurate information regarding their self-care activities. These data were provided by 27 diabetes educators in the study settings. Conclusion: Self-care practices and glycaemic control in this study were related to health beliefs and also could be a result of limitations in the diabetes education that they had received. These findings should be given attention by diabetes educators in their efforts to improve diabetes self-care in patients with insulin-treated diabetes aged 18-40 years in Malaysia. More studies on health beliefs in diabetes self-care are needed for Malaysian patients

Music in video advertising towards young consumers' decision making : a qualitative approach

Music plays an important role in influencing young consumers’ decision making to buy advertised product or service. However, previous researches have not focused on the power of music in real life without audience conscious. Also, considering about music as a tool to influence young consumer decision making, has become the researcher concern, as the video advertisement lack of entertainment elements in which the advertisers find it difficult to reach their target audience. To understand this issue, the researcher chooses to explore the musical power and musical familiarity affection on consumer decision making interrelated with information processing through video advertisement. Relying on the Elaboration Likelihood Model, this study explores through qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with experts’ group as well as young consumers group. For experts’ group, this study has recruited ten informants through snowball sampling, while ten informants for young consumers, through purposive sampling. In-depth interview for experts’ group was conducted through faceto- face sessions, whilst for young consumers, the interviews were conducted through online sessions. The data for both studies were analysed using thematic analysis. This study applied triangulation data to confirm the findings and the truthfulness of the data. The finding shows that musical power is the main reason for making the video advertisement effective through intrinsic and extrinsic influence. Musical familiarity in video advertisement can be found in terms of brand familiarity, awareness, brand identity, and the level of familiarity music used in the video advertisement. Furthermore, this study found that motivation and subconscious mind is the two different ways lead to information processing towards young consumer decision making. Therefore, this study provides empirical evidence to the body of knowledge. Also, for making the video advertisement effectives, this study proposed a model to guide the advertisers, musicians, marketers as well as media practitioners in understanding music on people’s psychology as well as selling the potential product to target audience
