ABSTRACT

A research study was conducted to evaluate the methodological work of the Dental School in the 2011-2012 and the 2012-2013 academic courses for which theoretical and empirical methods were used. The first phase made a documentary review and analyzed documents such as resolutions, methodological plans of the different management and organizational levels of the school, among others. The focal groups and expert criteria techniques were applied to the document review and to the detection of difficulties and of achievements of the methodological work at each level. The quality parameters as well as the indicators designed for each methodological department at the University of Havana for the evaluation of the methodological plans, according to their adapting to the characteristics of the higher medical education, were all considered. The methodological plan of the dental school as such in the 2011-2012 academic year met the parameters included in the predicted indicators, but the plans for the career faculty and for the disciplines were not drafted. On the other hand, in the 2012-2013 academic course, the difficulties of the methodological plans of the previous academic year were taken into consideration in order to improve the quality, so all the plans both at the management level and at the organizational levels were prepared. The methodological plans have quality and express the main methodological actions corresponding to each level. Among the main difficulties are the absence of some professors in the planned activities and the non-fulfillment of all the planned control actions to the methodological activities.
