ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar el nivel de dificultad y poder de discriminación del examen diagnóstico de la asignatura Morfofisiología Humana I, del Nuevo Programa de Formación de Médicos en la Facultad-Policlínico Félix Edén Aguada, de Cienfuegos, Cuba. Para ello se calcularon los índices de dificultad y de discriminación, así como el coeficiente de discriminación a la totalidad de los 421 exámenes diagnósticos aplicados de la asignatura de Morfofisiología Humana I. Se entrevistaron profesores como informantes clave y estudiantes destacados. Todas las preguntas dieron la posibilidad de discriminar y predecir. De ellas, dos presentaron un índice de dificultad media, otras dos fueron medianamente fáciles y solo una fue altamente fácil. Se identificó el nivel dificultad y el poder de discriminación de cada pregunta del examen diagnóstico de Morfofisiología Humana I, lo que permitió plantear que el instrumento aplicado, fundamentalmente osciló entre dificultad media y medianamente fácil, con adecuado poder de discriminación. Los profesores y estudiantes reconocen la necesidad de estos exámenes para corregir dificultades en la evaluación, mejorar el trabajo metodológico y reajustar la autopreparación. Se hacen conclusiones.


The objective of this paper is to identify the level of difficulties and the discriminatory power of the diagnostic test of Human Morphophysiological I included in the New Medical Formation Program that is implemented in Felix Edén Aguada teaching polyclinics located in Cienfuegos province, Cuba. To this end, the difficulty and discrimination indexes were estimated together with the discriminatory coefficient of the 421 diagnostic tests of the above-mentioned subject. The professors as key informants and outstanding students were interviewed. All the questions made it possible to discriminate and to predict. Of these, two showed a mean difficulty index, other two were fairly easy and just one was very easy. The level of difficulties and the discriminatory power of each question of the exam were established, which allowed stating that the applied instrument ranged from mean difficulty to moderately easy, with suitable discriminatory power. The professors and the students agreed that these exams were necessary to overcome difficulties in the evaluation process, to improve the methodological work and to re-adjust self-preparation. The conclusions were also submitted.
