abstract
- The university can provide a safe space for students to explore various facets of their professional identity, such as teaching. The objective of this study was to understand the motivations for teaching students in an interprofessional mentoring program. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. The population considered was 168 undergraduate students. The results indicate the outstanding motivators are intrinsic motivation activated by stimulus (6.33) and intrinsic motivation oriented to learning (6.22). Through their participation, students have found satisfaction in the moments in which they share their learning with others and have embarked on a quest for excellence in their training.
