Abstract
ABSTRACT In medical education, students are increasingly regarded as active seekers of feedback rather than passive recipients. Previous research showed that in the intentions of students to seek feedback, a learning and performance goal can be dis- tinguished. In this study, we investigated the intentions (defined as level and orientation of motivation) of different perform- ing students (low, average, and high performing students) to seek feedback in the clinical workplace using Self- Determination Theory. We conducted a quantitative study with students in their clinical clerkships and grouped them based on their performance. The level of motivation was measured by the number of Mini-CEXs each student collected. The orien- tation of motivation was measured by conducting the Academic Self-Regulation Questionnaire. We found that high perform- ing students were more motivated and demonstrated higher self-determination compared to low performing students. Introduction
