Background Teaching professionalism in medical schools is central to medical education and society. We evaluated how medical students view the values of the medical profession on their first day of medical school and the influence of a conference about the competences of this profession on these students’ levels of reflection. Methods We studied two groups of medical students who wrote narratives about the values of the medical profession and the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on these values. The first group wrote the narratives after a conference about the competences of the medical profession (intervention group), and the second group wrote the same narratives after a biochemistry conference (control group). We also compared the levels of reflection of these two groups of students. Results Among the 175 medical students entering in the 2022 academic year, 159 agreed to participate in the study (response rate = 90.8%). There were more references to positive than negative models of doctor‒patient relationships experienced by the students (58.5% and 41.5% of responses, respectively). The intervention group referred to a more significant number of values than the control group did. The most cited values were empathy, humility, and ethics; the main competences were technical competence, communication/active listening, and resilience. The students’ perspectives of the values of their future profession were strongly and positively influenced by the pandemic experience. The students realized the need for constant updating, basing medical practice on scientific evidence, and employing skills/attitudes such as resilience, flexibility, and collaboration for teamwork. Analysis of the levels of reflection in the narratives showed a predominance of reflections with a higher level in the intervention group and of those with a lower level in the control group. Conclusions Our study showed that medical students, upon entering medical school, already have a view of medical professionalism, although they still need to present a deeper level of self-reflection. A single, planned intervention in medical professionalism can promote self-reflection. The vision of medical professional identity was strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, positively impacting the formation of a professional identity among the students who decided to enter medical school.

“…Penelitian ini mendasarkan diri pada konsep teoretis dan berbagai temuan ahli pada bidang analisis wacana, khususnya wacana termediasi computer (Zeinali Nejad et al, 2021), wacana virtual (Darics & Cristina Gatti, 2019), atau wacana elektronik (Yu, 2019), serta asumsi dari Wittgenstein yang mengatakan bahwa makna suatu kata disandarkan pada penggunaannya (Skelac & Jandrić, 2020). Menurutnya, untuk berbagai hal tertentu, dapat didefinisikan bahwa makna sebuah kata mengacu kepada penggunaannya dalam suatu konteks (Newman, 2018) (Androutsopoulos & Beißwenger, 2008).…”

The complex interactions between different social and cultural groups have a significant impact on language. These changes can affect various aspects of language, from those phonetics, lexical, and semantics, to syntax. This paper aims to analyze and reveal various semantic changes that occur in the Indonesian language caused by the development of technology and information. Several lexical units, surf, roam, home, tablet, google, zoom, status, crispy, and organic are several of many examples. Overall, these types of language change can be characterized by the emergence of new concepts in various fields. Semantic changes can be classified into various types, including metaphorical transfers, metonymic transfers, and semantic transformations. All these phenomena are examined in the framework of computer-mediated discourse. This study uses a structural research method of meaning analysis and involves a comparative study between the lexical meaning and the contextual meaning of the lexical unit being analyzed. This study concludes that there is a semantic shift in the Indonesian language-its quality and the impact on Indonesian language and culture, in general, requires further research and a more detailed linguistic description. AbstrakInteraksi yang kompleks antara kelompok sosial dan budaya yang berbeda berdampak signifikan terhadap bahasa. Perubahan-perubahan tersebut dapat berpengaruh pada berbagai aspek bahasa, mulai dari fonetik, leksikal, semantik, hingga sintaksis. Tulisan ini bertujuan menganalisis dan mengungkapkan beragam perubahan semantis yang terjadi pada bahasa Indonesia yang disebabkan oleh perkembangan teknologi dan informasi. Beberapa unit leksikal, selancar, jelajah, beranda, tablet, google, zoom, status, garing, dan organik, dijadikan sebagai percontoh. Secara keseluruhan, jenis perubahan bahasa itu dapat ditandai dengan munculnya konsep-konsep baru di berbagai bidang. Perubahan semantik dapat diklasifikasikan atas berbagai jenis, di antaranya transfer metaforis, transfer metonimis, dan transformasi semantis. Semua gejala tersebut dikaji dalam kerangka wacana termediasi komputer. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian struktural analisis makna dan melibatkan studi perbandingan antara makna leksikal dan makna kontekstual dari unit leksikal yang dianalisis. Penulis menyimpulkan adanya pergeseran semantik dalam bahasa Indonesia yang penilaian dan pengaruhnya terhadap bahasa dan budaya Indonesia secara umum memerlukan penelitian lebih lanjut dan deskripsi linguistik yang lebih terperinci.

“…Vygotsky argued that higher level psychological functions are acquired through processes that form a continuum from external speech to inner speech, thought and motivation. This continuum has been detailed elsewhere (Berducci 2004;Newman 2018) and so here we will draw on Newman (2018, 354-5) to briefly summarise the main components of what Berducci highlights as the microgenetic continuum, as this is concerned with the transition from a less to a more capable individual (Berducci 2004, 332) and so is relevant to the particular concerns of this paper. It is worth noting in passing that Berducci does not claim that all aspects Vygotsky's complete developmental continuum are microgenetic.…”

The work of Vygotsky is widely used in teacher education and other education-related literature, in discussion of sociocultural perspectives, and in relation to themes such as second language acquisition, the teaching of mathematics, and approaches to teaching and learning. Much of this work gives the impression that Vygotsky's work is unproblematic. This paper challenges that view. It is argued that Vygotsky's descriptions of learning and teaching draw on sociocultural themes but that the theoretical account he proposed to explain those descriptions is disputable. The possible implications for thinking about child development, learning, teaching, and teacher education are then considered.
