Abstract
VARELA RUIZ, Margarita; VIVES VARELA, Tania and FORTOUL VAN DER GOES, Teresa I. Motivation: Esential element in medical training. Rev. Fac. Med. (Méx.) [online]. 2012, vol.55, n.1, pp.43-51. ISSN 2448-4865.
We resume in this document the neglecting attitude towards motivation in medical education. Reviews of the evolution of the studies in motivation lead us to resume four tendencies: Attrition oriented, self-efficacy oriented, learning oriented, and goal oriented motivation. All these theories converge in that the individual internal tendencies leads to comprehend and confront the world, and then to explore, to be interested and to manipulate the world. Also, motivation is associated with life experiences, beliefs and self-experiences about learning. At the end of this document we summarized some suggestions to make the teaching-learning interaction an enjoyable experience.
