Abstract (English):	Objective: Within the framework of the Self-Determination Theory, the objective was to evaluate the incidence of Motivation on the Academic Performance of medical students. Materials and methods: Descriptive and correlational research was carried out, according to Dankhe’s typology. The population was made up of 1,050 enrolled in a medicine program; the sample size was calculated for a 95% confidence interval, a probability of finding a motivation level of 30%, and an error of 0.05%. The information was obtained through the application of an instrument that investigated sociodemographic data and contained the items of the Motivation in Education Scale; Academic performance data were obtained from the Institution Registration Office. The project was approved by an Ethics and Bioethics Committee. Descriptive statistics, simple regression model, one-way analysis of variance, and T-test for comparison of means were applied. Results: 280 students were surveyed, 61% female. and 39% male, age was 20 ± 1.88 years; The average academic performance on a scale of 1-5 was 3.9. The students in the sample are characterized by an autonomous motivational style; Women were more motivated than men. No relationship between motivation and semester level or academic performance was demonstrated. Conclusion: There is no association between motivation and academic performance in medical students.

Abstract (Spanish):	Objetivo: En el marco de la teoría de la autodeterminación, el objetivo fue evaluar la incidencia de la motivación en el rendimiento académico de estudiantes de medicina. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una investigación descriptiva, correlacional, según la tipología de Dankhe. La población estuvo conformada por los 1.050 matriculados en un programa de medicina; el tamaño muestral fue calculado para un intervalo de confianza del 95 %, una probabilidad de hallar un nivel de motivación del 30 % y un error del 0,05 %. La información se obtuvo mediante la aplicación de un instrumento que indagaba datos sociodemográficos y contenía los ítems de la Escala de Motivación en Educación; los datos de rendimiento académico se obtuvieron a partir de la Oficina de Registro de la institución. El proyecto fue aprobado por un Comité de Ética y Bioética. Se aplicó estadística descriptiva, modelo de regresión simple, análisis de varianza de una vía y prueba T de comparación motivación de medias. Resultados: Se encuestaron 280 estudiantes, 61 % de género femenino y 39 % masculino; la edad fue de 20 ± 1,88 años; el promedio del rendimiento académico, en escala de 1-5, fue 3,9. Los estudiantes de la muestra se caracterizaron por un estilo motivacional autónomo; las mujeres tuvieron mayor motivación que los hombres. No se demostró relación de la motivación con el nivel semestral ni con el rendimiento académico. Conclusión: No hay asociación entre la motivación y el rendimiento académico en los estudiantes de medicina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
