Item Restricted Exploring Professional Identity and Academic Motivation in Paramedicine(Monash University, 2024-08) Alotaibi, Monther; Bowles, Kelly; Williams, BrettBackground: The evolution of the paramedic profession necessitates an understanding of the factors influencing professional identity and academic motivation among paramedic students. This study aims to explore the relationship between these two constructs within a cohort of undergraduate paramedicine students. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was utilized. Data were collected via an online survey using the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) and the Macleod Clark Professional Identity Scale (MCPIS-9). Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rank correlation were used to analyze the data. Results: Total of 47 participants completed the survey. Significant positive correlations were found between professional identity and extrinsic motivation-identified regulation (Spearman’s rho = 0.495, p < 0.001). Conversely, a significant negative correlation was observed between professional identity and amotivation (Spearman’s rho = -0.524, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analyses identified that neither gender, level of study, past experience, nor having relatives in healthcare significantly predicted professional identity scores. Conclusions: This study underscores the importance of fostering a strong professional identity in paramedic students to enhance their academic motivation. Educational strategies that support professional identity development could lead to more motivated and better-prepared healthcare professionals. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms underlying these relationships and to develop targeted interventions that can be implemented across educational settings.15 0Item Restricted SELF-REGULATION AND ACADEMIC MOTIVATION AS PREDICTORS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN AN ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT(Andrews University, 2023-11-16) Almwalad, Sonia; Nosworthy, NadiaThe aim of the study was to determine whether self-regulation and academic motivation are related to undergraduate student academic achievement in an online learning environment.
