“…Items on the research self-efficacy scale were self-developed and designed based on the previous two efficacy scales, but more specifically addressing self-efficacy regarding research. Perceptions of research were examined by using the subscale from the Student Perception of Research Integration Questionnaire (SPRIQ) focusing on students’ beliefs about the value of research and learning [ 42 ]. Curiosity was measured with the Epistemic Curiosity Scale, divided in items on interest and deprivation curiosity [ 37 ].…”

IntroductionThe medical field is currently facing a physician-scientist shortage. One possible solution is to direct medical students towards a research oriented career. To do so, knowledge is needed on how to motivate medical students to do research. Therefore, this study examines motivation for research and identifies factors influencing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for research among first-year medical students.MethodsFirst-year medical students were surveyed at the beginning of their bachelor’s program in 2016. On a 7-point Likert scale, students reported their motivation for research, self-efficacy, perceptions of research, curiosity, and need for challenge. Regression analyses were used to examine the influence of these factors on students’ motivation for research.ResultsOut of 316 approached students, 315 participated (99.7%). On average, students scored 5.49 on intrinsic, and 5.66 on extrinsic motivation for research. All factors measured influenced intrinsic and extrinsic motivation for research significantly and positively, also after adjusting for gender and age. Cumulative regression showed that these factors explained 39.6% of the variance in intrinsic, and 14% in extrinsic motivation for research.DiscussionAll factors play an important role in intrinsic and, to a lesser extent, extrinsic motivation for research. First-year medical students’ motivation for research could be enhanced by stimulating positive self-efficacy beliefs, positive perceptions of research, and curiosity. Also, it is important to fulfil students’ needs for challenge by stimulating them to actively conduct research. Thus, to catch students young and cultivate physician-scientists, students should be stimulated to engage in research from the beginning of medical training.

“…Student perceptions of research in teaching can promote various learning outcomes such as research dispositions, research skills and student achievement (Vereijken, van der Rijst, de Beaufort, van Driel, & Dekker, 2018;Visser-Wijnveen, van Driel, van der Rijst, Visser, & Verloop, 2012). Undergraduates can perceive both benefits and disadvantages of research integrated into teaching (Healey, Jordan, Pell, & Short, 2010).…”

“…To study undergraduate student perceptions of research in teaching we administered a version of the Student Perception of Research Integration Questionnaire (SPRIQ) in which the item wording was adjusted to medical education (Vereijken et al, 2018;Visser-Wijnveen et al, 2016). The scales included student perceptions of teaching through (1) critical reflection on the way research findings are produced; (2) student research participation;…”

Opportunities for students to participate in research practices promote student beliefs about the relevance of research for later work practices. Yet engaging undergraduates in learning activities that mirror the way in which research is used in practice settings is not that straightforward. This longitudinal study aims to assess the influence of authentic research practices in the learning environment on medical undergraduates' perceptions of research and their beliefs about the relevance of research. In total, 947 students completed the Student Perceptions of Research Integration Questionnaire. Our findings suggest that research practices promote student motivation for research and foster the belief that research is relevant to learning. We suggest that to foster student learning about research, it is beneficial to include elements of professional practices that stimulate students' enthusiasm for research and focus students' attention on the way research findings are produced. Furthermore, implications are given for further research and teaching practice.

“…The SPRIQ scores of the current study were similar to the mean scores of 2.44 to 3.75 reported by Veriijken, van der Rijst, van Driel, and Dekke (2018), who studied research perceptions of first-year medical students. Findings from another study that used the SPRIQ found that student motivation for research is strongly related to merging current research into teaching and that student beliefs about research are related to achievement (Vereijken, van der Rijst, de Beaufort, van Driel, & Dekker, 2018).…”

This is a pilot study with the intent of identifying occupational therapy doctorate (OTD) and master's (MOT) students' perceptions of research in their coursework. A cross-sectional study was conducted through a survey of OTD and MOT students. The Student Perception of Research Integration Questionnaire (SPRIQ) was emailed to graduate occupational therapy programs in the United States. An unpaired single tailed t-test was used to compare the mean scores between the MOT and OTD student responses for each scale and subscale. Two hundred and twenty-six students filled out the questionnaire. Both the OTD and MOT students had a favorable perception of the integration of research into the curriculum with a mean score of 3.63 (MOT) and 3.85 (OTD) out of five. An independent t-test found there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores for two of the subscales for research integration (current research subscale p = .000 and motivation subscale p = .02) and for the beliefs scale (p = .002). Students enrolled in both MOT and OTD programs have a favorable perception of research being integrated into their curriculums. The OTD students have a more favorable perception of the integration of research in their curriculums, with a 0.30 mean difference between all items on the scale. CommentsThe authors report that they have no conflicts of interest to disclose.
