ABSTRACT
The Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) currently has a very heterogeneous enrollment, which differ in customs, language and methods of study, as well as, in the different levels of knowledge of the Chemistry subject, by reason of the diversity of the Program of study and curricula in each country. Therefore, the methodological work of the department has been in function to elaborate new strategies of teaching and learning.To elaborate a methodological proposal for the application of the formative evaluation in the Chemistry classes was the objective for this work. The methods used were: analysis - synthesis and induction - deduction and logical history, and the systemic approach, observation to classes and percentage calculation. They were planned for the training of teachers, meetings and instructional methodological classes, methodological workshops and a postgraduate course with the purpose of knowing the theoretical methodological fundamentals associated to the proposed lines of research.
As results we have the items to work on the instructions of the objectives, the creation of a environment of confidence, the communicative skills of the students and the teachers and the self-evaluation as an essential element for the strengthening of the formative evaluation. The advances obtained in the promotion and the quality of the final exams with respect to the initial diagnosis of the subject allowed to evaluate the proposal as adequate. The implementation of this proposal allowed the students to recognize the advances and difficulties in the skills that are acquiring and to consolidate they have learned, and the teacher to design the strategies to correct the detected faults.
