ABSTRACT

The evaluation regulates the teaching and learning process, provides feedback to teachers and has an important educational function. The elaboration of written evaluation instruments that fulfill the functions of the evaluation is a challenge for the teachers and the main professors of the subjects of the main discipline integrating the Medicine career. The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of the written partial exam of the Community Medicine course. The group of researchers chose the methodology used for several years by Professor MSc. Pedro Augusto Díaz Rojas to evaluate the quality of the instruments. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in which all the exams performed by the students were analyzed (1006), in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet the results of the applied test were tabulated, those of each item categorized in correct were included ( c) and incorrect (i), the qualification of each question and the final grade of the exam, for subsequent statistical processing, checking the correspondence of the time fund allocated in P1 to the contents and quantity of items that explore most of the items and Exam questions were considered of medium difficulty, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.60 pointing out that it is a reliable instrument. The written partial exam is evaluated as reliable, with the required quality, and most of the items were classified as medium difficulty.
