Abstract: In this paper we suggest an approach to analyse the motion of a test particle in the spacetime of a global monopole within a f(R)-like modified gravity. The field equations are written in a more simplified form in terms of F(R)=fracdf(R)dR. Since we are dealing with a spherically symmetric problem, F(R) is expressed as a radial function calF(r)equivF(R(r)). So, the choice of a specific form for f(R) will be equivalent to adopt an Ansatz for calF(r). By choosing an explicit functional form for calF(r) we obtain the weak field solutions for the metric tensor, compute the time-like geodesics and analyse the motion of a massive test particle. An interesting feature is an emerging attractive force exerted by the monopole on the particle.
