Purpose: The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of basic psychological needs of learners on student engagement in medical school.
Methods: A total of 91 first-year and second-year medical students participated in this study. Their basic psychological needs were determined. Student engagement scales were utilized to determine their engagement. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted.
Results: Basic psychological needs showed a total explanatory power of 13% for student engagement (F=5.27, p<0.01). Competence (¥â=0.295, p<0.01) had statistically significant effect on student engagement.
Conclusion: Results of the present study verified that student engagement could be determined by learner¡¯s traits. Among psychological traits of learners, student engagement was significantly affected by competence. Thus, medical school should provide various experiences to satisfy competence as a basic psychological need of learners.
