ABSTRACT
Introduction: The aptitude for the production of scientific knowledge requires learning the research methodology.Objective: Analyze some postgraduate students' perception about the critical reading of medical articles as an educative strategy for learning the research methodology.
Methods: Through an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and prolective research, we studied 36 students of a master's degree course on Medical Sciences, with an emphasis on clinical research. They were conducted an anonymous survey made up by six items, in order to inquire into the perception about the usefulness of an educative strategy, both active and participative, for learning the research methodology. To analyze the results, we used descriptive statistics as based on averages, standard deviation and percentages. For statistical significance of the percentages, we calculated the confidence interval at 95 %.
Results: 36 students of a master's degree course in Medical Sciences from a particular University in Tampico (in southern Tamaulipas State) were studied. They were applied an instrument elaborated on purpose, for this research. 91.6 % (confidence interval of 95 %, 77.5 to 98.2) of the students consider that this educative strategy does permits knowledge production by the student himself; 86.1 % recommend that this strategy be used in other subjects of this master's degree course.
Conclusions: The specialized medical students have a good perception about the usefulness of an educative strategy both active and participative for learning the research methodology.
