ABSTRACT

Introduction: The graduate in Medical Imaging and Radiophysics (IRF) in his professional performance has developed scientific research in the field of image technologies, for which the training process should ensure that they acquire and master the investigative skills necessary for it. Objectives: To identify the main insufficiencies in the domain of the investigative skills of the graduates of the Medical Imaging and Radiophysic career of the Faculty of Health Technology in the 2014 academic year. Materials and Methods: A quantitative-qualitative study was conducted where interviews were conducted and questionnaires were applied to the 26 graduate students of the career in the Faculty of Health Technology. 13 teachers and research tutors were interviewed. We reviewed student work presented in different subjects and Student Scientific Conferences as well as documents related to the teaching-learning process developed in the IRF Department. The results were presented in tables and percentage analysis was used. Results: Insufficient research skills were found related to the planning of the research, the analysis and summary of the data collected, and the introduction and publication of the research results. In addition, problems were detected in the development of the teaching-learning process that did not favor the development of these skills. Conclusions: It was evidenced that there were insufficiencies in the mastery of the investigative abilities in the students and the need to perfect their intentionality and systematics towards this formation in the teaching-learning process.
