Introduction:

the evaluation of lectures can contribute to improve the quality of lessons.

Objective:

to design an instrument for the evaluation of lectures in Medicine major.

Methods:

a two-phase research was carried out: in the first phase, the instrument was designed based on the use of theoretical and empirical methods. In the second, by means of a cross-sectional descriptive study, the validity of the guide was evaluated. It was used in a sample of 90 lectures randomly chosen from the Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing majors taught at Dr. Agostinho Neto Hospital during 2017.

Results:

an observation guide is designed comprising indicators that structure the dimensions: organizational and hygienic-sanitary conditions of the classroom, quality of the introduction, development and conclusions of the lectures. The relevance of the instrument to evaluate the quality of the lectures is demonstrated: insufficiencies in the use of blackboard 68,6 %; slides with deficient quality 62,8 %; no orientation of independent work 54,3 %.

Conclusions:

the instrument can be contextualized in all the profiles of medical education and contributes to the objectivity in the comparison of results of the different verifications, it facilitates the understanding of studies to evaluate the evolution of the quality of the teaching-learning process, it also allows assigning priorities by the teaching department of the center for the training of professors, as well as evaluating the impact of the programs of pedagogical training for the teaching staff.
