Objetivo general: Establecer la opinión estudiantil y docente sobre la actuación docente, en la Carrera de Medicina, Facultad de Medicina, Enfermería, Nutrición y Tecnología Médica, U.M.S.A. Diseño: Corte transversal, por encuesta. Población de estudio. 619 estudiantes y 49 docentes de la carrera de medicina. Métodos y mediciones: Se ha utilizado un instrumento que fue el producto de una investigación sobre la evaluación docente en 17 universidades españolas ( cuestionario Likert de 39 items y 8 categorías). Se trabajó con un alfa del 0.05. El muestreo se tomó de manera accidental. Se realizó el siguiente análisis: a cálculo y comparación de las frecuencias de las categorías y b. cálculo y comparación del promedio aritmético en ítems y categorías, en docentes y estudiantes. Resultados y conclusiones: Se han realizado preguntas tipo Likert con el siguiente rango de medida: valor mínimo negativo 1 y valor máximo positivo 5. Las frecuencias encontradas en docentes y estudiantes, fueron las siguientes: 1=7.02 por ciento, 2=23.72 por ciento, 3=46.66 por ciento, 4=19.84 por ciento, 5=2.76 por ciento. El promedio general de los dos estamentos fue de 3.78, los docentes alcanzaron un valor general de 4.28 y los estudiantes de 2.88. La opinión positiva de docentes y estudiantes muestran la conformidad con el servicio brindado, no obstante existen diferencias marcadas entre la opinión de estudiantes y docentes, mostrando que se deben realizar acciones correctivas en las categorías de "cumplimiento de obligaciones" y "prácticas", estos resultados son apoyados por la parte cualitativa del estudio. Se han generado dos categorías cualitativas de interés: a. el pedido de estandarizar: los objetivos de aprendizaje, el tiempo, las formas de enseñanza, la evaluación, b. la necesidad de realizar la individualización de cada docente, ya que la gran limitante para este estudio fue la generalidad.

DesignCross section, by enquiry Study Population 619 students and 49 teachers of the medical career Methods and Measurements An instrument was used which was the product of an investigation on the evaluation of teachers in 17 Spanish universities (Lickert questionnaire of 39 items and 8 categories). We worked with an alfa of 0.05. The samples were taken in an accidental manner. The following analysis was made: a. Calculation and comparison of the frequencies of the categories and b. calculation and comparison of the arithmetic average in items and categories, in teachers and students.Results and Conclusions Questions of the Lickert type were made with the following range of measurement: minimal negative value 1, and maximal positive value 5. The following frequencies were found in students and teachers: 1 = 7.02%, 2 = 23.72%, 3 = 46.66%, 4 = 19.84%, 5 = 2.76%. The general average of the two groups was 3.78, the teachers reaching a general value of 4.28 and the students of 2.88.The positive opinion of teachers and students show the agreement with the service rendered, however there exist marked differences between the opinion of students and teachers, which shows that corrective actions need to be made in the categories "fulfillment of obligations" and "practical training". These results are supported by the qualitative part of the study. Two qualitative categories of interest were generated: a. the demand of standardization, the objectives of learning, the time, the forms of teaching, the evaluation, b. the necessity to individualize each teacher, since the great limitation for this study was the generalization.

Advocacy by Students in Medical Education / 医学教育

A special Students' Committee on Medical Education was established by the Student Union of Nippon Medical School. The members of this committee are all volunteers and have carried out several plans to improve the educational environment at our school. In 1999, the Students' Committee on Medical Education proposed holding joint meetings with the Education Committee of Nippon Medical School. The meeting was to allow communication between students and teachers for improving the curriculum. The volunteer faculty members of the Education Committee and students have held joint meetings seven times from November 1999 through February 2001. Discussions between students and teachers have changed ideas on both sides and have led to improvements in some educational programs, such as clinical internship during the summer vacation.
