RESUMO

The backgrounds offered refer to the programs of the southwestern region in Colombia and the results of the evaluation, which made it possible to provide a new nursing curriculum, more in accordance with the needs both of the community and of the region and the country. Two main factors are emphasized which underly the educational model: learning while rendering services and solving medical care problems of the institution, and at the same time fulfilling the quality level of the learning model for stimulating creativity, critical discussion, facilitating the active work of the learners.

In Cali, Colombia, a study was done to test and apply a model for the evaluation of out-of-school training programs in nursing in comparison with classroom programs. The article describes the evaluation model, which starts with the admission factors, considers how they are changed in the process, and compares the results by measuring the effects obtained against the established objectives. The information on admission factors was obtained by means of a questionnaire on health, a survey of teachers, pairing tests for students, and records of input/cost ratios; the source of information on the process was the tests of academic performance in the three courses provided in the design, the evaluation forms, and the student records. The academic records, a survey of graduates and a form for monitoring nursing activities were the three instruments used to measure the effects of the program. The conclusion of the study was that the objectives of the program were attained. Tested experimentally, the model of out-of-school nursing training was found to offer instruction of quality that is helpful to the learning process. The evaluation of the process made it possible both to identify and to solve the curricular, learning and administrative problems. The learning modules have been adapted for the wider diversity of students brought in by expansion of the program. Meanwhile, the instruments for the collection of data for the evaluation have been simplified on the basis of the experimental study.
