Diseño y planificación de un modelo flexible de autoformación en el entorno de enseñanza-aprendizaje de medicina preventiva y policía sanitaria veterinarias

Resumen

With the aim of helping students encountering the different issues needed to be learnt and tracking the subject over theacademic period, away from punctual efforts associated with a unique theoretical evaluation test, we have introduced inthe present academic year (2010-2011) a participative continuous evaluation system in the core subject “PreventiveMedicine and Sanitary Policy” in the Veterinary degree. The experience consisted in replace 60% of the evaluationmark, previously obtained by a theoretical test, by two evaluation strategies which improve and reward daily work andcontinuous evaluation. Continuous work of the student, by weekly elaboration of test questions, pursues learning and tomaster the subject. Experience resulted very positive, as we obtained a high percentage of student participation (70%)and impressive academic results (98% of students passed the subject, 80% of which remarked a qualification higherthan 70%). Considering the obtained results, we can assume that the majority of our students have incorporated most ofthe fundamental concepts, due to the based strategy in which they do not only listen and watch a masterly lesson, butread, discuss and prepare test questions
