Evaluación de las Propiedades Psicométricas del Cuestionario de Evaluación Docente (DOCENTIA) para su Uso en una Muestra Mexicana
Authors: Acosta Beatriz 
Published: October 2023

La evaluación de la actividad docente ha permitido a las instituciones educativas reflexionar sobre la enseñanza, su misión, su quehacer y, en general sobre la calidad. Las universidades deben seleccionar aquellas fuentes y métodos de recolección de información, que estimen más adecuadas con base en los objetivos e implicaciones de la evaluación.Los cuestionarios de opinión dirigidos a los estudiantes son la única manera para las universidades de dar respuesta a las políticas de evaluación de la docencia. La utilización del cuestionario se debe a que “el rendimiento o aprendizaje que logra el alumno en el curso es la variable que más afecta la efectividad del maestro”. El presente trabajo tiene como propósito evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario de evaluación docente DOCENTIA (ANECA, 2006) para su uso en una muestra mexicana. Los análisis realizados mostraron valores del coeficiente alfa de 0.91 a 0.95. El estudio aportó evidencias que ponen en duda la estructura teórica prevista en el cuestionario. Sin embargo, los resultados apoyaron la equivalencia de los coeficientes alfa de Cronbach, así como de las estructuras factoriales. El criterio de información de Akaike ha permitido apostar por una estructura unidimensional del instrumento. Futuros estudios seguirán aportando evidencias sobre el constructo de evaluación docente.Palabras clave: Cuestionario de evaluación docente DOCENTIA, confiabilidad, equivalencia, dimensionalidad. Teaching activity evaluation has permitted educational institutions to reflect upon their mission, their education, and quality in general. Universities should choose the principal sources and methods to obtain information that they believe to be adecuate to based upon the objectives and implications of evaluation.Certainly, questionnaires administered to students are best way for universities respond to policies of teaching evaluation. “The use of the questionnaire is due to the fact that “the performance or learning achieved by the students in the course is the variable that most greatly affects the effectiveness of the teacher”. The aim of this study is to analyze the psychometric properties of the teaching evaluation questionnaire DOTENTIA (ANECA, 2006) for use in a Mexican sample. The results showed an alpha coefficient of 0.91 to 0.95. The study provided evidence which questions the theoretical structure questionnaire. However, the results supported equivalence of Cronbach alpha coefficients as factorials structure. Akaike’s information criterion has provided information about one-dimensional structure. Prospective studies will continue to obtain evidences about the teaching evaluation construct.Keywords: Teaching evaluation questionnaire DOTENTIA, reliability, equivalence, dimensionality.

Published: October 2023

En el artículo se presenta una propuesta de instrumentos de evaluación de la docencia para el posgrado, en la que se abordan las características específicas de la orientación, dinámica y formas de comunicación de este nivel educativo. El propósito general es contar con instrumentos diferentes a los de la licenciatura, que también aborden las diferencias entre docencia y tutoría. La propuesta se fundamenta en los postulados del modelo educativo de una universidad mexicana, así como en los resultados de una investigación realizada con docentes y estudiantes de posgrado en la que se buscó ponderar un conjunto de conductas evaluables de la actividad docente, las cuales estaban clasificadas en seis dimensiones: Planeación, estrategias didácticas, comunicación, evaluación, competencias profesionales y ética y valores. Los instrumentos están diseñados para que los estudiantes valoren el desempeño docente con preguntas cerradas y abiertas que permiten la retroalimentación de profesores y tutores en los niveles de especialidad, maestría y doctorado.Palabras clave: Evaluación docente, evaluación posgrado, instrumentos de evaluación, evaluación de acuerdo al contexto. The paper presents a proposal for teaching evaluation tools particularly useful to postgraduate studies, which involve specific characteristics in regard to the orientation, dynamics and communication approaches that correspond to this education level. The general purpose of this proposal resides in offering alternative evaluation instrument to those generally used at the bachelors or pre postgraduate studies level, which also involves the distinction between teaching and tutoring activities. This proposal is based on the education model underlying a Mexican private university, where these evaluation tools are being tested. It is also based on the research results carried on with both, professors and students at the postgraduate level. The research is aimed at ponder a set of assessable practices related to teaching activities, which are classified under six dimensions: planning, didactic strategies, communication, evaluation, professional competencies and ethics, and values. The proposed evaluation tools are designed in order to allow students to assess teaching performance, based on both, open and close questions, which in turn provide feedback to the teaching and tutoring activities, at the specialty, master’s and doctorate levels.Keywords: Teaching evaluation, postgraduate studies evaluation, evaluation tools, evaluation according to the context.

Authors: Lebrun Johanne , Moresoli Christine , Hasni Abdelkrim 
Published: October 2023

El artículo presenta los resultados de un análisis comparativo de la documentación oficial de Quebec y Ontario respecto a las funciones concedidas a los textos escolares. Por un lado, este análisis tiene por objeto identificar las distintas funciones asociadas a los textos escolares en cada una de estas dos provincias canadienses y, por otro, mostrar la influencia potencial de estas funciones en su utilización en el aula. Los resultados evidencian que la implementación de currículums que promueven una perspectiva constructivista, se realiza sin que las funciones de los textos escolares sean problematizadas de manera rigurosa. Los marcos evaluativos nos llevan a concluir que textos escolares representan a la vez resúmenes de los programas de estudio, herramientas de formación e información tanto para los docentes como para alumnos y vectores de valores socioculturales. Por consiguiente, la concepción de textos escolares se muestra poco congruente con las orientaciones educativas de tipo constructivista.Palabras clave: Funciones del texto escolar, análisis comparativo, Quebec, Ontario. This paper presents the results of a comparative analysis of official documents from Quebec and Ontario with regards to the functions of textbooks in science education. This analysis aims, in part, to reveal the various functions associated with textbooks in each of these Canadian provinces, as well as to expose their potential influence on how textbooks are used in the classroom. The results illustrate that the implementation of new curricula favouring a constructivist perspective was implemented without the status or role of textbooks being put into any in-depth question. The evaluation criteria lead to the conception of textbooks representing a condensed curriculum, training tools and information for teachers, tools for informing and training students as well as vectors for sociocultural values. As of yet, the conception of textbooks seem to be incongruent with the educational orientations that aspire to constructivism.Keywords: Functions of textbooks, comparative analysis, Quebec, Ontario.

Published: October 2023

O objetivo deste estudo foi utilizar os dados qualitativos para explicar e aprofundar a percepção dos alunos de quatro cursos de engenharia de uma universidade pública no Brasil sobre as práticas de avaliação da aprendizagem utilizadas pelos professores. A fundamentação teórica para o estudo foi elaborada a partir de vários autores nacionais e internacionais sobre a complexidade e a importância da avaliação para a formação de futuros profissionais na área da engenharia. A abordagem utilizada foi a pesquisa qualitativa de natureza interpretativa. A amostra constituiu-se de seis alunos e uma aluna do 8º, 9º e 10º períodos dos quatro cursos de engenharia (Eletrônica, Eletrotécnica, Mecânica e Construção Civil). A técnica de coleta de dados foi a entrevista individual semi-estruturada. Os principais resultados mostram que existe a predominância da avaliação somativa na grande maioria das disciplinas dos quatro cursos de engenharia (e nas práticas dos professores) e que a participação dos alunos por meio da autovaliação, avaliação por pares é rara e pouco valorizada. Os alunos participantes do estudo têm percepção clara a respeito da participação no processo ensino/aprendizagem, da maneira como desenvolvem o trabalho acadêmico e das práticas avaliativas que realmente são importantes para eles.Palabras clave: Avaliação somativa, avaliação formativa, alunos de engenharia. The objective of this study was to identify the perceptions of students from four engineering courses at a public university in Curitiba - Paraná on the evaluation learning practices used by teachers. The theoretical framework for the study was drawn from various national and international authors on the complexity and importance of evaluation for the qualification of future professionals in the field of engineering. The methodological approach was qualitative. The sample consisted of six male students and one female student from the 8th, 9th and 10th periods of four Engineering courses (Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Construction). The data was collected through semi-structured individual interviews. The main results show that there is a predominance of summative evaluation in most of the disciplines of the four engineering courses (and in teachers’ practices), and students' participation through self-assessment, peer review is rare and undervalued. Students participating in this study have a clear perception about their participation in the teaching and learning process; how they develop the academic work and evaluation practices that are important to them.Keywords: Summative assessment, formative assessment, higher education, engineering students.
Avaliação da Eficiência dos Cursos de Graduação da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) através da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA)
Authors: Cavalcante Sueli Ma. , Andriola Wagner 
Published: October 2023

O texto apresenta dados oriundos de pesquisa sobre a eficiência dos cursos de graduação da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC) entre os anos 2006 e 2009, com base em indicadores de insumos (inputs) e de resultados (outputs). Para tal empregou-se o método Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), numa amostra não probabilística de 30 cursos de graduação. Adotando-se como indicador de output o número de alunos concludentes, constatou-se que, em média, a quantidade de concludentes está muito abaixo da quantidade de alunos ingressantes, durante todo o período analisado. Aplicando-se a modelagem completa do método DEA, com ênfase nos indicadores de output (alunos concludentes), os resultados mostram que existe um grupo de nove DMU (decision making units), o que equivale a 30% dos cursos analisados que permaneceram, ao longo do tempo, no nível máximo de eficiência. De forma análoga, constatamos cinco DMU (16,7%) que, ao longo do tempo, permaneceram sempre ineficientes, com valores de eficiência relativa abaixo de 80% (padrão mínimo de eficiência relativa).Palabras clave: Ensino superior, avaliação educacional, indicadores de eficiência, análise envoltória de dados. The paper presents data from research on the effectiveness of undergraduate courses at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) between the years 2006 and 2009, based on indicators of inputs and outputs. For this method utilizes the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a non-probability sample of 30 undergraduate courses. Adopting as output indicator the number of students conclusive, it was found that on average, the amount of conclusive is far below the amount of new students during the whole period. Applying the complete modeling of the DEA, with emphasis on output indicators (student conclusive), the results show that there is a group of nine DMUs (decision making units), equivalent to 30% of the courses analyzed, which remained at the over time, the highest level of efficiency. Similarly, we found five DMUs (16.7%) which, over time, always remained inefficient, with values of relative efficiency below 80% (minimum standard of efficiency relative).Keywords: Higher education, educational assessment, performance indicators, data envelopment analysis.

Background: Shoulder pain, disability and impaired movements are frequently reported complication in post- mastectomy patients. Most individuals who have had a mastectomy suffer from adhesive capsulitis, which causes shoulder pain and impairment. Aim: The current study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of Muscle energy technique (MET) on shoulder adhesive capsulitis post mastectomy. Patients and methods: The present work was carried-out on sixty patients with adhesive capsulitis after mastectomy who participated in this study, they were aged from 40 to 60 years. The individuals were recruited from National Cancer Institute, Cairo University. They were randomized into 2 groups; every group included 30 patients. Group (A) (study group): were givenMET5 days per week for eight weeks as well as their traditional physiotherapy program (Mobilization exercises, stretching of the Posterior capsule, as well as Range of motion (ROM) exercises). Group (B) (control group):received only the conventional physical therapy program, 5 days per week for eight weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was utilized to measure the shoulder pain. Goniometer was utilized to evaluate shoulder ROM. Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) was utilized to evaluate shoulder function. All assessments were conducted pretreatment as well as post treatment. Results: In both Groups A and B, post-treatment VAS as well as SPADI scores were significantly lower than pre-treatment scores (p < 0.001). the percentage of change of VAS as well as SPADI in Group A was 68.28% and 71.88% respectively, while it was, 45.76% and 54.4% in group B respectively. In both groups, post-treatment shoulder flexion, abduction, as well as lateral rotation were all significantly higher than pre-treatment values. Shoulder flexion, abduction, as well as external rotation all increased by 128.25, 75.76, and 99.95% in group A, whereas they increased by 97.58, 59.9, and 89.38% in group B, respectively. Pretreatment comparisons showed no statistically significant differences among the groups. Post-treatment comparisons between the two groups showed that VAS and SPADI scores were significantly lower in Group A compared to Group B (p < 0.001). Shoulder flexion, abduction, as well as external rotation were significantly improved in group A than in group B after treatment (p < 0.001). Conclusion: adding MET in rehabilitation program can improve the shoulder pain, ROM as well as function in adhesive capsulitis management Postmastectomy.
