Effectiveness of teacher's workshop for designing didactic resources in the improvements of the quality of didactic guidelines

Abstract:

Introduction: One of the variables that has the greatest influence on the quality of teaching resources and, therefore, on student learning is the ability of teachers to design those resources. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of a workshop for designing didactic resources in improving the quality of the didactic guidelines proposed by teachers belonging to two faculties of health sciences. Method: A quantitative, quasiexperimental pre-test/post-test study with control group was developed. The participation in the module for designing didactic guidelines of the workshop of design of didactic resources was considered an independent variable, while the quality of didactic guidelines was considered a dependent variable. Results: The results showed that the improvement in the quality of the didactic guidelines proposed by the teachers of the experimental group was statistically significant (t= 4.167, p= 0.004), while that obtained by the teachers of the control group (t= 3.062, p= 0) did not show statistical significance. Conclusions: There is still a long way ahead in the pedagogical professionalization of teachers of medical education, especially in relation to the implementation of teacher training policies and practices.
