HİSTOLOJİ ÖĞRENEN TIP VE DİŞ HEKİMLİĞİ FAKÜLTESİ ÖĞRENCİLERİNDE MOTİVASYON

Abstract

Amaç: Öğrencilerin sağlık bilimleri müfredatında, temel bilimleri öğrenmeye yönelik motivasyonlarına az odaklanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlık bilimleri müfredatında insan histolojisi öğrenen öğrencilerde, motivasyonun farklı bileşenlerinin etkisini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Histoloji Motivasyon Ölçeği, tıp ve diş hekimliği ikinci sınıf lisans programlarına kayıtlı 235 öğrenciye (147 kadın ve 88 erkek), histoloji öğrenimine yönelik motivasyon bileşenlerini karşılaştırmak için kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada histoloji öğrenen tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinin, diş hekimliği öğrencilerine göre, kariyer motivasyonu, öz yeterlilik ve öz belirleme bileşenlerinde daha fazla motivasyona sahip oldukları saptanmıştır. Cinsiyetin ise histoloji öğrenme motivasyonunda farklılık göstermediği görülmüştür. Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçları, histoloji öğrenme motivasyonunda tıp ve diş hekimliği öğrencilerinde farklılık olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu sonuçlar öğrenme süreçlerini desteklemede, müfredatın gelişiminde ve eğitimin planlanmasında faydalı olacaktır.

Motivation in Medicine and Dentistry Faculty Students Learning Histology

Abstract

Objective: Little focus has been placed on the motivation of students to learn basic sciences in the health sciences curriculum. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different components of motivation in students learning human histology in the health sciences curriculum. Material and Methods: Histology Motivation Scale, was used to compare the motivational components for histology learning in 235 students (147 female and 88 male) enrolled in second-year medical and dentistry undergraduate programs. Results: In this study, it was found that medical school students learning histology had more motivation in career motivation, self-efficacy and self-determination components than dentistry students. It was observed that gender did not differ in histology learning motivation. Conclusion: The results of the research revealed a difference in the motivation to learn histology among medicine and dentistry students. These results will be useful in supporting the learning processes, the development of the curriculum and the planning of education.
