A descriptive study to 49 second-year Dentistry students during the academic course 2002 - 2003 was carried out at the Medical School in Camagüey to evaluate the methods of characterization in the affective-motivational sphere, and the students' personal qualities with intervention of the group in the educational projection. The results of individual and group work were also determined. The techniques applied were created by adviser professors to determine the values and the individual and collective characteristics of the group of students as part of the educational work. The techniques consisted of painting a hand in which values were pointed out by the students in order of priority. In the center of the hand they expressed their adviser professor's predominant value. The students were told to draw a face where they reflected what they thought, heard, saw and spoke that was pleasant or not. To determine the individual acceptance in the group, they were given a list with the names of all students so that they classified them from the 1 to the 6 according to the individual approach to each one. After the techniques were applied in their initial phase, the intervention strategy that was part of the students educational project was carried out, so the activities could contribute to solve individual and group problems detected by the professor. The values students prioritized were dignity, solidarity and responsibility, increasing in the final evaluation collectivistic values. The adviser professors' values were responsibility, laboriousness in both surveys, humanism was predominant at the beginning and solidarity in the final survey. The presence of rejected and isolated students was determined by the group, decreasing this group of students in number after applying the strategy to incorporate those students to the group. The techniques used for the characterization reflected the students characteristics, their qualities and defects, as well as the changes experienced by individuals and by the group in general
