Motivation For Learning Anatomy Among Dental Students: A Comparative Study Across Health Profession Education Programs

Öz

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and compare motivation subscales among anatomy students from pharmacy, physiotherapy, and dentistry programs and to explore their influence on anatomy performance. Materials and Methods: A 31-item survey, the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), was administered to health profession students from dentistry, physiotherapy, and pharmacy programs. The questionnaire assessed goal orientation, task value, control of learning beliefs, self-efficacy, and test anxiety. Participation was voluntary. The study was conducted at XXX University during the 2023-2024 academic year, spring semester. Midterm and final grades were collected from anatomy courses to assess academic performance. The MSLQ was used to evaluate motivation subscales among students from Dentistry, Physiotherapy, and Pharmacy. Academic performance was assessed using midterm and final grades, and correlations between motivation subscales and academic success were analyzed statistically. Results: A total of 159 participants were included. Significant differences in motivation subscales were observed among students. Female students showed higher test anxiety, intrinsic goal orientation, and task value than male students. Physiotherapy students scored higher in motivational subscales, particularly in test anxiety, although these differences were not statistically significant. A weak positive correlation was found between motivation scores and academic performance, with higher self-efficacy and learning beliefs associated with better grades. Conclusion: Motivation subscales, including self-efficacy, goal orientation, and test anxiety, significantly impact academic performance in health profession students. Addressing these factors through targeted interventions could improve anatomy education outcomes.
