Introduction:

Meta-evaluation, as an instrument in quality processes, has permitted to support decision-making inhigher education institutions, with respect to improvement of the teaching-learning process, by allowing to followup academic discourses and their implementation by professors; in this scenario, new interpretations of the evaluation phenomenon have been found.

Objective:

Methods:

Descriptive, exploratory and qualitative research. The population was made up of professors of theoretical-practical subjects of the Nursing program ofUniversity of Santander. The sampling was intentional (selection by criteria). The data collected was processed using the IRAMUTEQ software.

Results:

The lexical analysis support resulted in two thematic axes, made up of four semantic classes:thematic axis # 1 (quantitative process to be passed), which contains the classes 1 and 2 (evaluation as qualification and feedback process); and thematic axis # 2 (evaluation guidelines), which contain the classes 3 and 4 (student-centered progress and final evaluation of performance).

Conclusions:

Professors’ perception about the evaluation of clinical nursing practice is considered in terms of measurement and qualification.
