Objective: to verify the effect of skills training and simulated scenarios performed subsequently or belatedly on the motivation for learning of medical students. Method: experimental pre- and post-test study with control and intervention groups. Fifty second-year medical students participated and were randomized into two groups: control group (dialogical exposure, skills training and simulated scenarios after 12 hours) and intervention group (dialogical exposure, skills training and simulated scenarios after 21 days). The Situational Motivation Scale was used for analysis. Results: all students showed increased motivation. In the control group, intrinsic motivation increased before and after the simulated scenario (p=0.011). In the intervention group, intrinsic motivation increased before and after skills training (p=0.013), before and after the simulated scenario (p=0.024) and after skills training compared to the simulated scenario (p=0.011), with a reduction in amotivation (p=0.035). Conclusion: skills training and simulated scenarios increase student motivation. However, there is a need to better understand the impacts of different intervals between activities.

RLAE’s authorship concept is based on the substantial contribution by each of the individuals listed as authors, mainly in terms of conceiving and planning the research project, collecting or analyzing and interpreting data, writing and critical review. Indication of authors’ names under the article title is limited to six. If more, authors are listed on the online submission form under Acknowledgements. The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
