ABSTRACT

Introduction: The educational system depends upon the quality and performance of their faculty and should therefore be process of continuous improvement. Objective: To assess the teaching performance of the Public Health professors, at the Faculty of Medicine, UNAM through three strategies. Methods: Justification study. The evaluation was conducted under a mediational model through three strategies: students’ opinion assessment, self-assessment and students’ academic achievement. We applied descriptive statistics, Student t test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation. Results: Twenty professors were evaluated from the Public Health department, representing 57% of all them who teach the subject. The professor’s performance was highly valued self-assessment compared with assessment of student opinion, was confirmed by statistical analysis the difference was significant. The difference amongst the three evaluation strategies became more evident between self-assessment and the scores obtained by students in their academic achievement. Conclusions: The integration of these three strategies offers a more complete view of the teacher’s performance quality. Academic achievement appears to be a more objective strategy for teaching performance assessment than students’ opinion and self-assessment.
