Amaç: Bu çalışma, eczacılık, fizyoterapi ve diş hekimliği programlarında öğrenim gören anatomi öğrencilerinin motivasyon alt ölçeklerini değerlendirmeyi ve karşılaştırmayı, ayrıca bunların anatomi başarısı üzerindeki etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: 31 maddeden oluşan “Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ)” anketi, diş hekimliği, fizyoterapi ve eczacılık programlarında öğrenim gören sağlık bilimleri öğrencilerine uygulanmıştır. Anket; hedef yönelimi, görev değeri, öğrenme inançlarının kontrolü, öz-yeterlik ve sınav kaygısını değerlendirmiştir. Katılım gönüllülük esasına dayalıdır. Çalışma, 2023-2024 akademik yılı bahar döneminde XXX Üniversitesi’nde yürütülmüştür. Akademik başarıyı değerlendirmek amacıyla anatomi derslerinin ara sınav ve final notları toplanmıştır. Öğrencilerin motivasyon alt ölçekleri MSLQ ile ölçülmüş, motivasyon alt ölçekleri ile akademik başarı arasındaki korelasyonlar istatistiksel olarak analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 159 öğrenci dahil edilmiştir. Öğrenciler arasında motivasyon alt ölçeklerinde anlamlı farklılıklar gözlenmiştir. Kadın öğrenciler, erkek öğrencilere kıyasla daha yüksek sınav kaygısı, içsel hedef yönelimi ve görev değerine sahip bulunmuştur. Fizyoterapi öğrencileri motivasyon alt ölçeklerinde, özellikle sınav kaygısında daha yüksek puan almış, ancak bu farklar istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Motivasyon skorları ile akademik başarı arasında zayıf pozitif bir korelasyon saptanmış; yüksek öz-yeterlik ve öğrenme inançlarının daha iyi notlarla ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür.
Sonuç: Öz-yeterlik, hedef yönelimi ve sınav kaygısı gibi motivasyon alt ölçekleri, sağlık bilimleri öğrencilerinin akademik başarısını önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Bu faktörlerin hedefe yönelik müdahalelerle ele alınması, anatomi eğitiminde öğrenim çıktılarının geliştirilmesine katkı sağlayabilir.

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

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.
