          Abstract

          RESUMEN Introducción: Algunos estudiantes logran desarrollar la tesis con mayor facilidad que otros. De ese modo surgen motivos para el aumento de la predisposición y el rendimiento satisfactorio, así como el incremento de las competencias desarrolladas durante el pregrado. Este rendimiento se encuentra asociado a mayor motivación para las actividades de investigación y la sensación de autoeficacia para la realización de las tareas. Objetivo: Analizar la relación existente entre los niveles de autoeficacia y la disposición para realizar la tesis universitaria. Métodos: Estudio analítico transversal, que incluyó 113 estudiantes de los dos últimos años de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (Lima, Perú). Se utilizó la técnica de la encuesta con dos escalas: “autoeficacia para realizar la tesis” (dos dimensiones y 14 preguntas) y “disposición para realizar la tesis” (cuatro dimensiones y 44 preguntas). Se empleó la prueba de correlación de Pearson para analizar las puntuaciones de cada variable. Resultados: La autoeficacia obtuvo una puntuación general de 1,61 ± 0,53. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre estudiantes de quinto e internado. La disposición tuvo una puntuación general de 4,04 ± 0,34. Se encontró correlación significativa entre las variables para todos los encuestados (p < 0,05; r = 0,283). Sin embargo, no se encontraron correlaciones cuando se analizó por cada año académico (p > 0,05). Las puntuaciones de las mujeres evidenciaron correlación, existiendo significancia entre la autoeficacia para realizar la tesis y la disposición hacerla (p < 0,01; r = 0,430). No existió tal correlación en el grupo de los varones. Conclusiones: Existe una relación entre las puntuaciones de la “autoeficacia para realizar la tesis” y la “disposición para realizar la tesis” en un grupo de estudiantes de Odontología. Esta correlación se mantiene en las mujeres y no se presenta en los varones. Los estudiantes de quinto año evidenciaron mayores puntuaciones promedio respecto a ambas variables.

          ABSTRACT Introduction: Some students manage to advance their thesis projects much easily than others. Thus, reasons arise for the increase in predisposition and satisfactory performance, as well as the increase in the skills developed during the undergraduate course. This performance is associated with greater motivation for research activities and the feeling of self-efficacy to carry out tasks. Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the levels of self-efficacy and the disposition to carry out the degree thesis. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried including113 students from the last two years of the School of Dentistry of Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru. The survey technique was used with two scales: self-efficacy to achieve the thesis (two dimensions and 14 questions) and willingness to achieve the thesis (four dimensions and 44 questions). Pearson's correlation test was used to analyze the scores for each variable. Results: Self-efficacy obtained a general score of 1.61 ± 0.53. No significant differences were found between fifth and boarding school students. The disposition had an overall score of 4.04 ± 0.34. A significant correlation was found between the variables for all the respondents (p < 0.05; r = 0.283). However, no correlations were found when each academic year (p > 0.05) was analyzed. Scores in women showed a correlation, significante between self-efficacy to achieve the thesis and willingness to do so (p < 0.01; r = 0.430). There was no such correlation in the male group. Conclusions: There is relationship between the scores of “self-efficacy to do the thesis” and the “willingness to do the thesis” in a group of dentistry students. This correlation is maintained in women and is not present in men. Fifth-year students showed higher average scores regarding both variables.

            Medical students’ self-efficacy in problem-based learning and its relationship with self-regulated learning

            Background Problem-based learning (PBL) is most commonly used in medical education to enhance self-regulated learning (SRL) skills. Self-efficacy beliefs affect students’ motivation through self-regulatory processes. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between medical students’ self-reported SRL skills and their self-efficacy in PBL. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with second (286; 83.1%) and third (275; 80.2%) year students at the Ankara University School of Medicine. The SRL perception (SRLP) scale and self-efficacy for problem-based learning (SPBL) scale were used in the study. Results The SRLP subscales were positively correlated with the SPBL subscales. There was a weak but meaningful correlation between the subscales of SRLP (with the exception of the lack of self-directedness scale) and the subscales of SPBL and the students’ views on benefiting from PBL. The female students’ mean score was higher for the ‘planning and goal setting’ subscale of SRLP (p=0.017), and the second-year students’ mean score was higher than that of the third-year students for the ‘lack of self-directedness’ subscale of SRLP (p=0.001) with small effect sizes (Cohen's d is 0.17 and 0.27). There was no statistically significant difference between the year and subscales of SPBL. With regard to gender, the female students had higher scores than the male students on the ‘responsibility’ subscale of SPBL (p=0.003; Cohen's d=0.26). Conclusions The study showed that medical students used SRL skills and believed in their ability to learn effectively in the PBL context and demonstrated the relationship between SRL skills and self-efficacy beliefs. Monitoring students’ development in these skills and giving them feedback could be beneficial for the cognitive achievement of students with learning difficulties and insufficient study skills. Further studies need to be undertaken to investigate issues such as the curriculum, learning environment, individual differences, and how these can affect the SRL process.
