ARADA RODRIGUEZ, Amaelis et al. Methodological Markers for the Evaluation of the Learning of the Educational Teaching Process  in Medical Higher Education Institutions. Rev Ciencias Médicas [online]. 2007, vol.11, n.5, pp.75-80. ISSN 1561-3194.

The evaluation of the learning is at present a center of discussion and concern of the actors of a university. Evaluating is assessing, it has ideological connotations, since it has to do with historical and social situations related to the promotion, withdrawal, postponed y with university students' success; it pedagogical connotations influence the professors' and students' behavior, linked to the curriculum and the technique, therefore it is necessary to select the most appropriate procedures and tools for its performance. A diagnosis is carried out with a simple randomized sample of 25 professors who teach the subject of Pediatrics, aimed at being able to identify which opinion professors have on the evaluation concept, what it is intended for, and their knowledge on the current trends that the current evaluation of the ETP must have. Empirical scientific research methods are used such as: survey (interview and observation guide) and documentary analysis, besides theoretical research method: logical historical, logical dialectical. We obtained the following results: problems in way of performing the evaluation by the professors of the teaching department, lack of knowledge on the new pedagogical trends that the new evaluation of the ETP must have, predominance by the professors and officials of the subject of evaluations with marked reproductive and memoristical character. A series of methodological markers for the progress of the evaluation are defined, which allows: what to evaluate, in what levels of ETP to evaluate, how the new evaluation should be and which its criteria and purposes are, what its logics is; as well as the general characteristics of its new alternatives, with its procedures and tools which can be used within the ETP of the Medical Higher Education Institutions.
