DIAZ CANEL RODRIGUEZ, Jorge Luis. Assessment by Dentistry students of their learning and the management of the teaching-learning process. Rev EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2013, vol.5, n.3, pp. 108-123. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: the improvement of the teachers' teaching, from the perspective of the students, contributes to professional self-criticism and a gradual transformation in their performance as teachers. Methods: a case study was conducted with 3rd year Dentistry students in the academic year 2010-2011. From a universe of 112 students, a purposive sample of 18 students was selected, taking into account that they received all their training in education at work with the same teacher. They were given an initial survey, for a self-assessment of the knowledge and skills acquired in the above mentioned subject; and they were also asked to respond positively or negatively on the influence exerted by the teacher. A documentary analysis of the attendance and assessment records was conducted to verify the marks achieved at the seminar, education at work, practical examination of the subject, and the final exam question related to the rotation stay. Results: students express favorable criteria on the development of the teaching-learning process and the treatment of different procedural components. There were also satisfactory results in the examinations performed. Conclusions: the obtained results point to the correct management of the teaching-learning process based on the preparation of teachers in the pedagogical field.
