ABSTRACT
Introduction: the preparation and upgrading of cadres and substitutes are performed in line with the Communist Party of Cuba's policies and with those of the state and government. Since 2012, the National School of Public Health of Cuba began offering a Diploma's course on Public Administration to the health care managers and to those managing staffs of other bodies.Objective: to characterize the teaching/learning process of the diploma's course on public administration in the National School of Public Health (ENSAP).
Methods: A retrospective and descriptive study of eight previous courses was made. The evaluation guideline for graduates was applied, the final reports of each course were summarized, the anonymous technique of PNI (positive, negative and interesting) and the opinions of the students about the above-mentioned process were used. The statistical information were given in absolute frequencies and percentages.
Results: one hundred and eighty five cadres from six ministries and journalists graduated. In the study, 62.2% answered the evaluation guide and the most outstanding topics were those related to the political system and the functioning of the Cuban state, the constitution of the republic and the legal order, the legal work reordering as well as the criminal law. There was agreement between the learning requirements and the taught areas of knowledge, and the level of satisfaction with the level of knowledge acquired by the graduates. The results of the PNI recognize the update of topics and literature, the quality of the faculty and the diverse experiences discussed in the exchange between cadres from several bodies. The negative aspects were little time to make the final paper and the homework.
Conclusions: the diploma's course on public administration had positive impact on the explored areas in the previous courses.
