Medical Evaluation Processes in Clinical settings. Qualitative Analysis through the Experience of Teachers and Studens

Evaluation processes in clinical practice have not been well, being their study focused on the technical issues concerning these processes. This study tried an approach to the evaluation processes through the analysis of perceptions from teachers and students about the methodology of evaluation considering the teachinglearning processes performed in a clinical practice of the Medicine Program –Universidad El Bosque from Bogota. With this purpose we conducted interviews with teachers and students searching the manner in which the evaluative, learning and teaching processes are done; then we analyzed the perception from both agents concerning the way these processes are related. The interviews were categorized bath deductively and inductively, and then contrasted with some current theories of learning, teaching and evaluation in medicine. The study showed that nowadays the evaluation and, in general, the educative processes are affected by several factors which are associated to the manner the professional practice is developed, and the educative process of the current teachers. We concluded there is no congrency between the approach of the evaluation, mainly conductivist, and the learning and teaching strategies mainly constructivist. This fact cause dissent in teachers and students.

La administración y el origen de la concepción instrumental del hombre en la sociedad moderna.

Este artículo es una reflexión sobre la evolución histórica de la concepción moderna del ser humano. Intenta mostrar que la administración, como manifestación del proceso de subjetivación de la razón, ha concebido a la naturaleza, al hombre y algunos ámbitos del saber como simples medios para el cumplimiento de otros fines, principalmente económicos. El documento inicia examinando el humanismo y su concepción sobre el hombre, para observar luego en qué medida las capacidades de autoperfeccionamiento y razón que tal postura supone propia de la humanidad se han transformado, respectivamente, en autoconservación económica y en adaptación mecánica de medios a fines. Por último se observa la influencia que ha tenido la administración en la formación de una nueva concepción del hombre y su relación con el  mundo, y se señalan algunas consecuencias sociales.
