Understanding how the motivational dimension of learning is influenced by clinical teaching in medical education: A prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Many changes of medical curricula have been conducted in the past years. Based on learning psychology, three dimensions of learning have to be covered, in order to create the best possible curricula: Cognitive, metacognitive and motivational. The metacognitive and cognitive dimension (what/how to teach) have always been considered and the motivational dimension has been neglected, although the importance and benefits of motivation in learning have been emphasized repeatedly. One way to influence motivation in medical curricula are the teaching formats, as it has been shown that the construction of a curriculum can influence students' motivation. So far, evidence about the motivational effects of teaching formats are scarce.
