Background & Objective: In medical education, effective teaching/learning strategies are crucial, especially those that improve academic motivation and self-control. The aim of this study was to evaluate how the doughnut round teaching method versus the traditional lecture approach affected medical students’ motivation and self-regulation.
Materials & Methods: Forty medical students participated in this semi-experimental study. The participants were divided into two groups using the random allocation method through Excel software: The A group was doughnut (20 students), while the B group followed lecture methods (20 students). Both before and after the intervention, assessments were conducted using Hatter's academic motivation scale and Bouffard's self-regulation scale. ANCOVA, the independent t-test, the paired t-test, and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were among the statistics we employed for data analysis. Software called SPSS version 16 was used for all of our analyses.
Results: The treatment group demonstrated significant improvements in academic motivation (p < 0.001) and self-regulation (p < 0.001) in the post-test, while the control group showed no significant changes. The experimental group's pre-test and post-test scores significantly differed, indicating the effectiveness of the doughnut round teaching method in enhancing self-control and motivation.
Conclusion: The round doughnut round teaching technique significantly outperformed the standard lecture style in terms of students' academic motivation and self-regulation. This approach promotes independent study and active participation, which may improve academic performance in medical school.
