Abstract: (26 Views)
Background and Aims: Medical education research is considered a significant area within medical universities. This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with the motivation and inclination to conduct research in medical education from the perspectives of faculty members and students at Birjand University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical, cross-sectional study utilized a sample—determined via the Krejcie and Morgan table—consisting of 176 faculty members and 408 students selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using an online, researcher-made questionnaire comprising, with 44 items for students and 46 items for faculty members. Data were analyzed performed using SPSS (version 25) and one-sample t-tests, independent t-test, and analysis of variance tests at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The results indicated that, from the perspectives of both faculty members and students, factors such as research capability, professional competence, organizational structure, and the university's managerial and motivational policies were significantly associated with the motivation and inclination to conduct education research. The university's motivational policies were identified as the most significant factor influencing the conduct of such research among both faculty and students. The mean scores for factors associated with motivation and inclination toward research in education were significantly higher among students than among faculty members (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Given the greater perceived importance of incentive policies, research capacity, and management policies, attention to incentives and organizational support, facilitation of research processes, and empowerment of researchers should be considered when planning the development of research in medical education.
