Background and study aims
Many changes and adaptations of medical curricula have been conducted in the past years. Based on learning psychology, three dimensions of learning have to be covered- in order to create the best possible curricula: Cognitive, metacognitive and affective (motivational). The metacognitive and cognitive dimension (what/how to teach) have always been considered and the motivational dimension has been neglected. The importance and benefits of the motivation in learning have been emphasized repeatedly and It is known that the construction of a curriculum and teaching formats can influence students' motivation. So far, evidence about the motivational effects of teaching approaches is scarce.
The effect of a 3-day bedside teaching in the operating theatre and 2 simulation-based pieces of training on students' motivation will be analysed.
Who can participate?
3rd-year undergraduates of the medical faculty of the University of Hamburg during winter semester 2018/2019
What does the study involve?
After a 3-hour lecture on anaesthesiology, the students participate in a 3-day bedside teaching (intervention 1) and in two simulation-based trainings (intervention 2). Standardized scenarios of emergency medicine are simulated by the undergraduates and a debriefing is held afterwards.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
None
Where is the study run from?
University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf (Germany)
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
May 2018 to February 2019

| Scientific title | Understanding how the motivational dimension of learning is influenced by clinical teaching in medical education: A prospective cohort study |
| Study acronym | UML |
| Study objectives | Simulation-based medical education and bedside-teaching enhance autonomous motivation and decrease controlled motivation in 3rd year undergraduates. |
| Ethics approval(s) | We contacted the local Ethics Committee of Hamburg with a detailed project description and the head of the committee did not see any necessity of deliberation and classified the project as not inevitable for ethic consultation (§ 9 des Hamburgischen Kammergesetzes) and approved the study. All methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations (Declaration of Helsinki). |

| Intervention | Undergraduates who participate in the mandatory anaesthesiology module during their 3rd year of medical studies are asked to participate in the study. After a 3-hour lecture on anaesthesiology, they participate in a 3-day bedside teaching (intervention 1) and in two simulation-based pieces of training (intervention 2). These teachings are mandatory based on their faculty schedule. During the bedside teaching, the undergraduates are supervised each by one anaesthesiologist and have the opportunity to practise practical skills. The simulation training is conducted in the fully-equipped simulation center of our department using mannequins (Laerdal). Standardized scenarios of emergency medicine are simulated by the undergraduates and a debriefing is held afterwards. Both interventions are scheduled within two weeks for each undergraduate. No further follow-up takes place. |
| Intervention type | Behavioural |
| Primary outcome measure | Motivation of undergraduates measured using the Situational Motivation Scale (SIMS) at baseline (measurement 1) and after the bedside teachings (week 1, measurement 2) and prior to (measurement 3) and after the simulation trainings (week 2, measurement 4) |
| Secondary outcome measures | There are no secondary outcome measures |
