El docente de las asignaturas optativas en modalidad a distancia

Abstract

Distance education at the Faculty of Medicine (FM) is a modality that contributes to fulfilling the professional profile of the surgeon. Currently, there are 26 subjects called elective subjects online in the distance modality (MOLIMOD), attended by 46 advisors. The teacher evaluation is characterized by assessing the satisfaction of the students in the achievement of their learning, the performance of the teachers, their abilities, the use of psycho-pedagogical resources and learning strategies. The MOLIMOD advisors were evaluated from 2015 to 2022 through a questionnaire on the Moodle platform applied at the end of the course. The questionnaire was confidential and consisted of six dimensions. The teachers who are part of the Open University and Distance Education System of the Faculty of Medicine (SUAyED-FM) make up a varied academic body, ranging from 25 to 92 years of age, with training in various disciplines. The results allow us to support the argument that there is coherence between the definition of the teaching profile established by the SUAyED and the performance of its functions in the distance modality.
