Abstract:This article analyzes the importance of developing the vocational dimension of education for professionalism in the medical professions. Initially we will analyze whether there is an obligation for the medical staff to work when exposed to a high risk to get infected by a disease, as well as the nature of this obligation (legal, civic, professionally ethical, moral), starting from the crisis in the medical system generated by the outbreak and spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In the second part of the article, w… Show more
“…It is noteworthy to mention that while the scientific motivations are more prevalent in affluent countries and the societal motivations are more prevalent in developing countries, the humanitarian factors are present to similar degrees in both categories. This finding is compatible with the view that the medical profession is, to a large degree, a vocational one [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. In this vein, being a doctor is often described in terms of authority, commitment, and duty [ 26 ], all of them indicative ingredients of an implicit moral dimension.…”
The role of moral intuitions and moral judgments has become increasingly prominent in educational and academic choices. The present research aims to examine if the moral judgments elicited in sacrificial trolley dilemmas have a distinct pattern for the decisions made by junior medical students, in comparison to those of senior high school students. We work with this sample because it represents the population out of which medical students are recruited in the case of Bucharest, Romania. Our findings show that moral judgments are indeed a significant predictor for a respondent’s status as medical students. This result, albeit with limitations, bears multiple practical implications, from developing empirically informed medical ethics courses in medical schools to evidence-based policy designs which consider factors such as morality alongside financial outcomes and incentives.

“…The Pandemic is an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and typically affects a significant proportion of the population (Cristea, 2019;Huidu, 2020;Jaradat & Breaz, 2020;Tripon, 2019). In addition to the effects of the disease caused by the pandemic, there are many negative effects.…”
Covid 19 infection first emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and spread rapidly and became a pandemic that affected the whole world. Almost 94 % of learners worldwide were affected by the pandemic. In many countries, schools were closed for a period of time. Education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching was undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. In this paper the effect of online education during covid -19 pandemic has been discussed with under the headlines of advantages or disadvantages of technology, how effective is distance learning and the problems of children having to stay home all the time due to lockdown.
“…The content of education of psychologists involves fundamental psychological training, but a strong theoretical basis is supported by fragmentary psychological practice, which is represented only by the main types of professional activitiespsychodiagnostics and psychocorrection. This does not take into account the fact that the specifics of each professional activity lies in its inherent terminology, specific ways of action and behavior (Huidu, 2020), a peculiar nature of the activities of participants in the process, special internal states of the subjects of interaction. As a result, there is a practical and personal unpreparedness of graduates for implementation of appropriate psychocorrectional support for children with mental and physical disorders.…”
This article is devoted to highlighting theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of professional orientation of future special psychologists on correctional support of children with mental and physical disorders. On the basis of the structural components of professional orientation of special psychologists developed by us, the main determinants of professional orientation of future specialists on correctional support of children with psychophysical developmental disorders were determined, specifically: in the study of the motivational-target component of professional orientation of the future specialists in the field of special psychology, we focused on the study of the dominant motives for choosing a profession; on formation of a humanistic orientation; on the meaningful life orientations of the individual; exploring the emotional and gnostic component of the professional orientation of future psychologists for correctional support of children with mental and physical disorders, represented by sensory and informational structures, we paid attention to formation and objectivity of understanding future professional activities, its requirements for the personality of a specialist; on the attitude to the future profession and to the process of mastering it; identification with the subjects of future professional activity; to the level of development of empathy, altruism, attraction and congruence; the regulatory component of the professional orientation of future special psychologists on correctional support of children with psychophysical disorders was studied taking into account the level of maturity of professional self-esteem and professional prognosis.
