Background
and
Purpose
Clinical
teaching
has
been
suggested
as
an
important
factor
influencing
students
intrinsic
mo7va7on
and
performance1,2.
Internalisa7on
of
students
mo7va7on
towards
an
intrinsic
form
is
associated
with
increased
interest,
commitment,
effort,
learning,
and
sa7sfac7on
with
educa7on3–5.
Self-‐Determina7on
theory
(SDT)3
postulates
that
Intrinsic
mo7va7on
and
autonomous
forms
of
self-‐regula7on
are
the
desired
type
of
mo7va7on
in
students,
as
they
have
been
associated
with
deep
learning,
befer
performance
and
well-‐being.
SDT
claims
three
basic
psychological
needs
that
have
to
be
sa7sfied
in
order
to
achieve
intrinsic
mo7va7on
and
internalisa7on
of
autonomous
self-‐regula7on.
These
are
the
needs
for
autonomy,
competence
and
relatedness.
The
aim
of
this
study
is
to
provide
a
cri6cal
appraisal
of
what
is
known
on
how
clinical
teachers
promote
intrinsic
mo6va6on
in
their
students.
Methods
Results
Conclusions
Electronic
searches
were
performed
across
four
databases
(Medline,
Embase,
PsycINFO,
and
ERIC),
relevant
journals,
grey
literature,
and
retrieved
bibliography
of
selected
ar7cles.
The
quality
of
each
study
was
assessed
using
the
Cri7cal
Appraisal
Skills
Programme.
In
total,
searches
produced
28,273
references,
from
which
16
studies
met
the
inclusion
criteria.
Main
themes
were
iden7fied
in
three
categories:
The
support
of
autonomy,
competence
and
relatedness.
Major
findings
are
outlined
in
Table

The
res ea r ch-‐based
evidence
indicates
that
teachers
should
work
to
sa7sfy
students’
basic
psychological
needs
to
foster
internalisa7on
of
self-‐regula7on.
These
resul t s
sugges t
that
teachers
should
interact
with
students
in
a
more
‘human
centred’
teaching
style,
as
these
ac7ons
pred i c t
mo7va7onal
internalisa7on.
Several
themes
emerged
from
different
contexts
and
further
inves7ga7on
should
expand
them.
Autonomy
suppor7ve
t e a c h i n g
in
h e a l t h
professions
educa7ons
would
benefit
students
and
may
actually
result
in
more
effec7ve
health
care
delivery.
