Abstract

MORALES CADENA, Gabriel Mauricio; VALENZUELA SIQUEIROS, Ángela María; FONSECA CHAVEZ, Gabriela Mariana  and  VALENTE-ACOSTA, Benjamín. Analysis of the inventory of learning and study strategies in undergraduate and postgraduate doctors. Investigación educ. médica [online]. 2019, vol.8, n.32, pp.16-30.  Epub Mar 19, 2020. ISSN 2007-5057.  https://doi.org/10.22201/facmed.20075057e.2019.32.18132.

Introduction:

Academic success and failure in graduate physicians is an issue that is taking importance in modern educational research, it results essential to locate its origin at the confluence of multiple factors, among which are the use of inadequate learning strategies.

Objective:

Analyze the characteristics of the learning strategies presented by the medical students of different years.

Method:

A quantitative, observational, analytical, cross-sectional study was carried out, in which the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) was applied to medical students, internal doctors and resident doctors of diferent programs.

Results:

A total of 180 students were studied, 60 for each subgroup (students, interns and residents). Five of the ten scales studied are below the average. When analyzing the three components as a whole using the Z test, none is above the expected average. Although some scales are statistically significant, they are not as a whole, so the strategies of study, learning and attitudes are deficient in the three grades studied.

Conclusions:

It is evident the homogeneous behavior shown by residents, interns and students in the learning process, there is no upward curve as would be expected.

Keywords : Strategies; learning; LASSI; students; interns; residents; medicine.
