Abstract

Introducción: Se dispone de escasos indicadores predictores del rendimiento académico en la asignatura Fisiología. Objetivos: Evaluar la capacidad predictiva del corte de la décima semana respecto a los resultados de examen final ordinario en la asignatura de Fisiología de la carrera de Medicina. Materiales y Métodos: Se estudiaron los resultados del corte y la nota del examen final ordinario de 1250 estudiantes que recibieron la asignatura en los últimos 5 semestres que se han impartido hasta este curso 2006-2007 en la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de Pinar del Río "Dr. Ernesto Guevara de la Serna". Para variables cualitativas se utilizaron el cálculo de porcentajes y números absolutos. La concordancia entre las evaluaciones se evaluó mediante el índice Kappa al 95 % de certeza. Además se realiza Chi cuadrado para evaluar capacidad predictiva. Resultados: Existió correspondencia de los resultados del corte con los resultados del examen final ordinario con significación leve en cuanto a la asociación cuando se usa como predictor de éxito-fracaso. Se constataron diferencias en el comportamiento por semestres y cursos escolares. Conclusiones: El corte de la décima semana constituye un indicador que aproximadamente es capaz de predecir el rendimiento académico de los alumnos en la asignatura Fisiología y que es mejor predictor cuando existen mayor número de estudiantes evaluados dentro de cada categoría.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Predictive indicators of the academic profit in Physiology subject are scarce. Objectives: To assess the predictive capacity of the academic cutting in the 10th week in relation to the results of the final examination of Physiology subject in medical major. Material and methods: Results of the academic cutting and the final examination marks of 1250 students receiving the subject in the last five semesters till course 2006-2007 were collected at "Ernesto Guevara del Serna" Medical School in Pinar del Rio. Qualitative variates were used to calculate the percentages and absolute numbers. The coincidence in evaluations was assessed using Kappa index with a 95% of certainty. Results: A correspondence with the results of the academic cutting and the results of the final examination was observed having a slight significance regarding the association when using failure-success as a predictor. Differences in the behavior per semesters and the academic courses were noted. Conclusions: The academic cutting in the tenth week constitutes an indicator to predict the academic profit of the students in Physiology subject and this was the best predictor to be used when having a greater number of students evaluated in each category.
