Abstract:
This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Residents in the medical field work to fulfil their clinical duties and study to pass exams at the same time. Thus, they need to continuously learn and acquire knowledge in a self-regulated manner that accommodates their busy work schedule. The importance of self-regulated learning (SRL) and its relation to motivation is widely recognized in educational literature, yet it is still not sufficiently explored in medical education literature. The relationship between self-regulated learning (SRL) and motivation has not been sufficiently explored among medical residents. A total of 160 residents from different medical departments at McGill University were asked to complete a questionnaire about their psychological needs satisfaction, motivation to learn, and use of SRL strategies. Our results showed that residents who are more intrinsically motivated reported more utilization of SRL strategies. Results are discussed in terms of their impact on medical education practice as well as their theoretical implications.
