ABSTRACT
The quality of the theoretical final degree examination has improved in the Technology of Health School. Nevertheless, when making a comparison, the practical exercise shows the best results, in relation to the theoretical one. For this reason, the objective of this research work is to evaluate the influence of the preparation of the theoretical evaluation devices on the quality of the results from the final degree examination in the Technol-ogy of Health majors. Different methods were used: Empiric Documental Analysis –the 45 per cent of Statistical– Mathematics theoretical final degree examination were checked. The reliability analysis based on ALFA de CROBACH coefficient was applied. The population was made up by 20 profiles (main support)- Also, 27 profiles including the heads of majors and the specialties participated. Sample: the 29 per cent of the amount of theoretical evaluation devices were evaluated, in the profiles of Physic Therapy and Rehabilitition, Imagenology, Stomatological Prothesis, Optics and Optometry, and Microbiology. Some insufficiences were found in the selection of contents, the exaggeration of contents and the predominance of the reproductive level of assimilation. These didactic problems hinders the quality of the theoretical final degree examination as well as the students'results.REFERENCES
