Article Synopsis
- Medical students are under a lot of stress and mental health issues, and this study looked into how self-determination theory (SDT) could boost their motivation and decrease stress during learning.
- The study involved a week-long psychiatry course where one group of students experienced a new teaching style focused on autonomy and positive reinforcement, compared to a traditional approach.
- Results showed that the innovative method increased intrinsic motivation and perceived autonomy while reducing stress, though it also led to lower exam scores due to the lack of critical feedback.
