“…As a communication tool with a wide scope and the ability to reach audiences quickly, social media provides unlimited opportunities to expand communication networks within the educational environment, which includes students, educators, parents, and administrative staff. With the availability of platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn, educational institutions have the opportunity to interact directly with their communities (Sivakumar et al, 2023). This allows them to disseminate information, garner support and promote education-related activities, creating a more open and connected environment for all parties involved in the education process.…”

In higher education, fostering critical thinking skills is crucial for students because they are among the most sought-after employability skills. Recognizing the importance of cultivating critical thinking skills among online learners, educators are exploring innovative strategies to harness the power of social media platforms to enhance students’ critical thinking abilities. Therefore, this study investigates these issues using survey methods on final-year undergraduate students from two public universities. A total of 128 students who had experiences in learning online during the pandemic have been randomly chosen. The survey includes two constructs related to social media and critical thinking during online learning. The findings show that majority students agree with the utilization of social media for their online classes. They also agree that social media can serve as a platform to discuss and collaborate for postclass sessions. Furthermore, the regression analysis illustrates demographic factors such as gender, age, and university program that significantly predicted the perception of social media for teaching and learning. However, these factors were not found to be significant predictors of the activities applied in social media to enhance students’ critical thinking. Therefore, this study conclusively demonstrates that students’ critical thinking can be elevated through the integration of social media into online learning. However, it is imperative that learning activities are meticulously designed to ensure the effectiveness of the learning process.

“…Social media increasingly plays an important role in providing information, facilitating collaboration [22], and expanding access to educational resources [43]. Social media offers a dynamic platform for sharing knowledge, clinical experiences, and scientific discussions between medical students, doctors, and other health professionals [44]. Through social media, medical students can access a variety of learning resources, including teaching materials, learning videos, and scientific articles, that can help improve their understanding of medical and clinical concepts.…”

BACKGROUND Paradox refers to the tension between the ambition to succeed as a medical specialist and the limitations of the medical education system. Indonesia has big ambitions to produce quality doctors, but there are limited infrastructure and resources that limit the educational journey of prospective specialist doctors. OBJECTIVE This research aims to determine the Icarus paradox in the medical education system, which describes prospective specialist medical students, and the quality of health services in Indonesia. Understand how the Icarus paradox is reflected in society's perspective on medical education by paying attention to the quality of services provided. METHODS Using a mixed methods approach, integrating quantitative and qualitative analysis. RESULTS This results in three cognitive perspectives that show the existence of the Icarus paradox in the Indonesian medical education system, namely the education system perspective, society's view of students, and the health service perspective. Although there are aspirations to improve the quality of health services and medical education, there are also structural challenges that hinder the journey of the medical profession. Students who are prospective specialist doctors face various problems, the quality of health services in Indonesia is influenced by limited resources and accessibility. This perspective was developed into a conceptual model. CONCLUSIONS This study provides valuable insight into the Icarus paradox in the context of the medical education system in Indonesia, highlighting its complexity and emphasizing the importance of reform in medical education. This research has limitations, primarily relying on online reviews that may not be representative of the entire population, and primarily focusing on the views of the public and students, thus potentially introducing subjective bias. Therefore, these findings emphasize the importance of improving medical education and health services to effectively address the challenges faced by medical professionals. CLINICALTRIAL -
