Alunos de medicina em processo de autoavaliação.

Abstract

The history of the education, that keep pace with the history of the humanity, has a dynamic behavior in what refers to the evolutionary process; just like the evaluation, that although inherent to the educational process, is subject of deep discussions and reason of many studies The medical education, suffers also with evaluation dilemmas, being very important that the graduates have complete control of their medical abilities, even that, many times, we have doubts if the medical formation has been considered satisfactory. Therefore, the purpose of this study is that the students of a determined graduate course could self-evaluate in what refers to the learning of the competences established in the pedagogic project of the medicine course. A protocol was elaborated started from the evaluation files used in the final stage of the medicine course, which includes the last four semesters. The elaborated protocol went through an analysis of another six professors of the same medicine course not from the curricular internship, which for their part did some modifications according to what they thought important in the respective students training. Because it’s a qualitative study, the protocol response wasn’t mandatory. It was spontaneously responded by the academics. As a result, I mainly contrast the students’ ability of self-evaluation of having conditions of acting at health primary level, the competence of working as a team and the fact of having a high positive opinion about their graduate school. All the difficulties mentioned by the students are relevant to any medical professional who is already acting as such, showing the prudence and seriousness they handle the complex medical formation. Key-words: Education, Medical Education, Self-evaluation
