SANCHEZ HERNANDEZ, Ernesto et al. Quality indicators for a theoretical exam of the Comprehensive General Medicine speciality. MEDISAN [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.2, pp. 150-157. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and cross-sectional study with qualitative approaches was carried out, in order to evaluate the quality of the exams of partial control applied to 30 doctors of first and second years of residency in Comprehensive General Medicine, who worked in "Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany" Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital from Santiago de Cuba, during the year 2014. Theoretical, empiric methods were used as well as those of statistical processing in the analysis of the evaluation tools. Both theoretical exams presented differences and similarities verified through indicators, such as number of hours assigned to the content and quantity of subsections used in the exploration, index of difficulty by theme and question, as well as discrimination level and internal consistency of the tool, all of which offered validity and reliability for the evaluation system of learning

Palabras clave : evaluation of learning; quality of evaluation tools; index of difficulty; discrimination power; secondary health care.
