Introduction:

One of the challenges facing universities of health sciences today is the implementation and validation of effective tools for evaluation.

Objective:

To evaluate the quality of the partial exams of an in-house course in Morphofunctional bases of the most common hemorrhagic diathesis in Stomatology, Facultad de Estomatología, Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Santiago de Cuba, course 2022.

Method:

An analytical and transversal observational study was carried out. For the study, it was selected 30 of the partial exams implemented in the in-house Morphofunctional bases of the most common hemorrhagic diathesis in Stomatology course, type (E) course syllabus, Stomatology career, Facultad de Estomatología, Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Santiago de Cuba, course 2022. Correspondence between scheduled time and the number of items used in the test was assessed, and also, difficulty index and discrimination index for items and questions, point-biserial item discrimination coefficient and internal consistency coefficient were calculated.

Results:

There was an adequate correspondence between the time scheduled for the topics and the number of items used in the exam. Items with a moderate difficulty index and high degree of discrimination index predominated. The internal consistency of the individual questions was excellent, but the exam in general was low.

Conclusions:

The quality of the partial exam of the in-house course Morphofunctional bases of the main hemorrhagic diathesis treated in Stomatology, giving in the Faculty of Stomatology, University of Medical Sciences of Santiago de Cuba, course 2022, was inadequate.
