(438)TEACHER QUALITY SURVEY FOR GRADE STUDENTS:APPLICABILITY AND VALIDATION

摘要

INTRODUCTION: Surveys are one of the main instruments used to assess satisfaction. They are animportant element for the evaluation of the program and for the improvement of quality. They aredesigned to quantify and compare the data obtained and they based their information on the validity ofverbal information of perceptions, feelings, attitudes or behaviors transmitted by the respondent. Thedevelopment of a questionnaire is a complex process that involves checking their usefulness(validation) before its application. The greater difficulty of conducting surveys to students is to achievea high completion rate.OBJECTIVES: To apply and validate a satisfaction questionnaire to medical students on the classicalteaching prior to the implementation of a new program of educational innovation.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A questionnaire was developed to be completed an anonymously, usingthe Virtual Classroom UVA Campus as a tool. It was addressed by 148 students in 6th of Medicine,Medical School, Valladolid, enrolled in the Course of Pediatrics. The questionnaire consists of 38questions on seven aspects of the educational process or subscales : Group 1: the content of thecourse (3 questions), Group 2: planning and teaching methodology (7 questions), Group 3: theplanning and development of clinical practice (9 questions), Group 4: the perception of trainingteachers in the transmission of knowledge (4 questions), Group 5: the degree of teachers? training inengaging students in classes and practice (4 questions), Group 6: the evaluation form (8 questions)and Group 7: the perception of the outcomes of the teaching process (4 questions). The coding ofresponses was designed to be policotomic: poor, fair, good and very good. For the analysis of theresults policotomic variables were transformed into decimal scale. The survey was administered on 2occasions with an interval of 3 weeks.RESULTS: The first survey was completed by 148 students and both surveys by 129 students(87.16%). The feasibility of the questionnaire was previously performed and evaluated by pilot studyincluding 30 individuals. The results obtained for the groups described questions are: Grupo 1: Good60%, Very good 10%, Grupo 2: Good 55%, Very good 10,2%, Grupo 3: Good 62,4%, Very good28,3%, Grupo 4: Good 63,1%, Very good 15,3%, Grupo 5: Good 45,9%, Very good 8,5%, Grupo 6:Good 48,1%, Very good 14,9% and Grupo 7: Good 58,8%, Very good 16,8%.Content validity was based on an initial literature search and the opinion of a group of experts. Toassess the intraobserver reliability a test-retest standard deviations was performed to obtain thedifference in the responses to the scale below 0.9 decimal points used in 95 % of the questions.CONCLUSIONS: Any process of construction and validation of a questionnaire is complex andrequires knowledge of the construct to be measured. To ensure that the questionnaire was properlydesigned to apply the same criteria of validity and reliability we require different tools. The completionof the survey as a condition of access to the implementation of new teaching methods, and theevaluation of the practical part of the course conditions is conditioned by a high degree of completionof the questionnaires, which can implement the same validation methodology, for later use.
