ABSTRACT

Introduction: present study shows a Teaching- Learning process evaluation, of the Morfofisiology IV subject instrument.
Objective: to characterize the quality of Morfology IV curricular exam, applied to first year medicine students, at the Medical Sciences University of Holguín.
Methods: identification of basic sciences and type of questions, to determine the time correspondence between curricular unit content, exam exploration, and students analysis of the quality patterns like:
1- Difficulty index.
2- Discrimination index D.
3- Biserial point correlation.
4- Cronbach´s Alpha correlation.
Results: biochemistry contents prevailed. There was no correspondence between each topic time and the articles, in which questions domained. Both instruments were classified as fairly easy, and showed a correspondence between questions difficulty index and its discrimination, and Cronbach´s alpha coefficient presented an internal consistency dependability.
Conclusions: in spite of differences, the exam was classified as fairly easy for both instruments, that explains its high sufficiency level. The Academic Committee´s methodological improvement for these evaluative instruments design, is very important.
