ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The widespread growth of higher education is increasing the heterogeneity of university students in terms of socioeconomic characteristics, academic story and cultural background. Medical schools are not an exception of this phenomenon. AIM: To compare the academic background and self-directed learning behavior of students who entered to a public medial school between 2010 and 2014. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A non-probabilistic sample of 527 medical students aged between 17 and 29 years (60% men), was studied. Their academic information was collected from the University data base; they answered the Self-directed learning readiness scale of Fisher. RESULTS: Students from the 2014 cohort had higher high school grades than their counterparts. The scores in mathematics of the Scholarship Aptitude Test (SAT) were higher in the cohorts of 2010 and 2011. Those of the sciences test were superior in the 2013 cohort. The 2014 cohort had the lower general score of self-directed learning behaviors. CONCLUSIONS: The lower SAT and self-directed learning scores of the students entering medical school in 2014, indicate the progressive increase in the heterogeneity of Medical students.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: dentro de todo proceso de rediseño curricular se debe considerar la percepción que tienen los estudiantes de su curriculum para efectuar futuros cambios y mejoras. Objetivo: comparar la evaluación que los estudiantes de los distintos cursos de Fonoaudiología realizan del currículum. Métodos: estudio cuantitativo, no experimental y de corte transversal. Fueron elegidos 220 estudiantes de primero a quinto año, por muestreo probabilístico por cuotas, encuestados con el cuestionario de evaluación del curriculum. Los datos fueron analizados por el paquete estadístico STATA 11.0 S.E. Resultados: la pertinencia del curriculum y metodologías de enseñanza y evaluación fueron evaluadas mejor por primer año que los otros cuatro grupos. La distribución del tiempo fue mejor evaluada por los estudiantes de primer año en relación a los de cuarto. Los objetivos de la asignatura, fueron mejor evaluados por los de primer año que por los de tercero. En el factor objetivos de la carrera, los estudiantes de primero realizaron una evaluación más positiva que los de segundo, tercero y cuarto año. La distribución de actividades, fue mejor evaluada por los alumnos de primer año que los de cuarto y quinto. En el factor equipo docente, los alumnos de quinto año tuvieron una opinión más negativa que los de primer y tercer año. El cumplimiento de objetivos, fue mejor evaluado por los alumnos de quinto año que los otros cuatro niveles. Conclusiones: al avanzar en el plan de estudios empeora la evaluación del curriculum. Los resultados respaldan la necesidad de efectuar cambios y mejoras en el currículum(AU)


Introduction: Any process for redesigning a curriculum must consider the students' perception about their curriculum, before doing future changes and improvements. Objective: Compare the curriculum evaluation by the students of different Phonoaudiology courses. Methods: Quantitative, nonexperimental and cross-sectional study. 220 students of the academic years from first to fifth were chosen through probability quota sampling and conducted a survey with the curriculum evaluation questionnaire. The data were analyzed with the statistical package STATA 11.0 S.E. Results: The pertinence of the curriculum and teaching and evaluation methodologies were assessed better by the first year students than what they were by the rest of the students. Time distribution was assessed better by the first year students than the rest. The subject's objectives were assessed better by the first year students that the third year. In the factor major's objectives, the first year students made a more positive evaluation than the second, third and fourth year students. Activities distribution was better assessed by the first year students than fourth and fifth. The factor teaching staff, the fifth year students had a more negative opinion than first and third years. The fulfillment of the objectives was assessed better by the fifth year students that the rest of the four levels. Conclusions: The more advance in the curriculum, the worst the curriculum assessment. The results support the need for making changes and improvements in the curriculum(AU)
