OBJECTIVE: to inquire into the training's need of students on some contents or educational tools to improve its performance. METHODS: authors made a cross-sectional and descriptive study in a cohort of 52 teachers and in 210 students selected by means of a stratified randomized sampling. In assessment of educational performance a survey was applied. In evaluation of student satisfaction we used an adaptation questionnaire of that proposed by Camino 2001. RESULTS: the 30,8 % of professors from basic area had received training teaching courses and the 17,3% from pre-clinic had a Education Master's degree. In the basic area there was a predominance of regular knowledge level for carrying out and evaluation features, and in the pre-clinic area, the planning, carrying out and evaluation knowledge was good. The more used education strategy in the basic area was the masterly class, and in the pre-clinic one were the seminars and the conceptual maps. The need of main knowledge expressed in the basic area make reference to evaluation, in the pre-clinic one, to carrying out and strategies elements. In the evaluation of student satisfaction with the education received by planning, in the basic area predominated a medium degree, in pre-clinic one, the 51,7% of students made reference to a high level of satisfaction. About the teaching carrying out and the strategies in the basic one prevailing a medium degree of satisfaction, in the pre-clinic one there was a high level. About evaluation, in both areas there was a marked level of medium satisfaction. From motivation to learning and the expectation coverage in basic area a medium level of satisfaction prevailed, and in the pre-clinic one there was a high level of satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: Teaching function from the mentioned strategies is based on a knowledge transmission pattern and not in its production. Mediation and motivation for features production mainly in the basic area are neglected.
