ABSTRACT
Background: the subjects of the basic area set the cognitive and educative bases for the full formation of the future Medicine professionals.Objective: to characterize the academic efficiency of the students in the subjects of the basic area in two university polyclinics in Santa Clara municipality, in ordinary exams.
Methods: a descriptive research work was carried out within the scope of the quantitative and qualitative methodologies in “XX Aniversario” & “Capitán Roberto Fleites” polyclinics in the academic year 2013-2014. Different methods were used. Theoretical methods: analysissynthesis, induction-deduction. Empirical methods: review of documents and a survey was applied to the professors and the students. Mathematical methods: for the analysis of absolute and relative values.
Results: it was determined that in some cases the students don´t have an adequate motivation for the Medicine career and they don´t have the necessary digital bibliography, besides, they consider the Medicine career as a difficult one, that much effort is needed and poor methods of study. On the other hand, the professors don´t have an adequate pedagogical preparation, even though, they master the contents they teach, the predominant teaching rank is instructor, they make a proper orientation of the bibliography they assign but it is not accessible in all the cases. Most of the teachers have more than six years of teaching experience.
Conclusions: the fundamental aspects of the learning process that have influenced the academic efficiency of the students were: Lack of motivation for the Medicine career, incorrect study methods and the insufficient pedagogical preparation of the teachers.
