The MUSIC Inventory evaluates student's academic motivation across five constructs. We aimed to examine its use in undergraduate medical pathology courses.
Students from three pathology courses completed questions for three factors of the MUSIC Inventory plus one open-ended question. We conducted an exploratory analysis of the survey data.
Results showed that the open-ended responses corresponded to differences in ratings on the MUSIC Inventory.
Combining an open-ended question with the MUSIC Inventory identified differences in student motivation plus aspects of each course that could be improved. The MUSIC Inventory is an appropriate evaluation method for pathology teaching.
MUSIC量表从五个维度评估学生的学习动机。我们旨在研究该量表在本科医学病理学课程中的应用情况。
来自三门病理学课程的学生完成了MUSIC量表中三个因素的相关问题以及一个开放性问题。我们对调查数据进行了探索性分析。
结果显示,开放性回答与MUSIC量表评分的差异相对应。
将开放性问题与MUSIC量表相结合,明确了学生学习动机的差异以及每门课程中可以改进的方面。MUSIC量表是病理学教学的一种合适的评估方法。
