Avaliação na preceptoria do curso de Medicina

Abstract

In this article we discuss the assessment of learning in the preceptorship of a discipline focused on Primary Health Care (PHC) of a Medicine course based on data resulting from research anchored in the methodology of action research. We focus on the reference matrix for assessment skills related to anamnesis, a central theme in this discipline, and in the analyzes we are guided by the idea that educational assessment is a way of establishing a value judgment, which can contribute to decision-making in processes of teaching and learning.The option to have an assessment matrix as one of the central aspects is based on understanding the complexity of the assessment task and the meanings that an assessment can have for both preceptors and students. A matrix has the potential to help preceptors to evaluate aspects of academics' training using explicit and consistent criteria. The version of the matrix presented and discussed in this article was constructed in dialogue with seven preceptors who participated in the investigation and, even though it is necessary to validate it with more professionals, it reveals evidence of its potential in assessment processes and, above all, for the developments in teaching from the perspective of the formative function of learning assessment.
