Athletic Training Preceptor Feedback Effects On Athletic Training Student Intrinsic Motivation

Cummings, Rachel Ann

Abstract Details

2024, EDD, Kent State University, College of Education, Health and Human Services / School of Foundations, Leadership and Administration.
This study aimed to identify athletic training student intrinsic motivation, with subscales of interest/enjoyment, perceived competence, effort/importance, pressure/tension, perceived choice, value/usefulness, and relatedness, based on the intrinsic motivation inventory (IMI). It also evaluated the effects of feedback as facilitators and barriers to intrinsic motivation in clinical education. Athletic training student feedback was obtained by asking open-ended journaling questions related to how their preceptor interacted with them and provided feedback in their clinical rotation. A mixed-methods approach was utilized for this study. There was a significant difference in pre-post IMI scores in subscales of interest/enjoyment, perceived choice, and value/usefulness. Qualitatively, athletic training students identified active communication, autonomous practice, theory to practice, culture and setting, and nature of feedback as key facilitators to motivation from preceptor feedback. Athletic training students identified key barriers to intrinsic motivation as excessive downtime at clinical sites, extrinsic factors, placement alignment, preceptor stress, and stagnant environment.
