Se utilizaron m谷todos te車ricos para la revisi車n documental y bibliogr芍fica relacionada con la evaluaci車n, calidad de instrumentos evaluativos y m谷todos emp赤ricos a trav谷s de: entrevistas a grupo focal, grupo nominal. Se analizaron 24 instrumentos de evaluaci車n. Para el an芍lisis del instrumento evaluativo, el autor centr車 su an芍lisis en el 赤ndice de los datos que se obtuvieron, se procesaron, tabularon y se llevaron a tablas y gr芍ficos para su an芍lisis y discusi車n. Las principales dificultades estuvieron en la elaboraci車n de las preguntas en el examen te車rico final de Morfofisiolog赤a Humana I. Las 芍reas tem芍ticas se correspondieron con el fondo de tiempo, el contenido evaluado, el n迆mero de 赤tems y los objetivos de la asignatura. Las preguntas de pareamiento predominaron y las de desarrollo o ensayo de respuestas cortas fueron las de mayor dificultad. El instrumento de evaluaci車n aplicado se clasific車 seg迆n Backhoff como f芍cil. A research study focused on quantitative and qualitative aspects was conducted to characterize the evaluation instrument applied in the final theoretical exam of Human Morphophysiology I of the Clinical Laboratory specialty of Bachelor of Health Technologies studies. This was the exam of the basic sciences cycle medical students in 2008 in the metropolitan area of Caracas. Some theoretical methods were used for document and literature review linked to evaluation, quality of evaluation instruments and empirical methods, such as focal group and nominal group interviews. Twenty four evaluation instruments were analyzed. To this end, the author focused on the index of data that were collected, processed, tabulated and put in tables and graphs for their analysis and discussion. The main difficulties were found in the preparation of questions in the final theoretical exam of Human Morphophysiology I. The thematic areas agreed with the allocated time, the evaluated contents, the number of items and the objectives of the subject. The matching-type questions predominated whereas essay questions with short answers were the most difficult for the students. According to Backhoff∩s classification, the evaluation instrument was rated as easy. %K Instrumento de evaluaci車n %K caracterizaci車n %K examen te車rico %K Morfofisiolog赤a humana %K Evaluation instrument %K characterization %K theoretical exam %K human morphophysiology I %U http://scielo.sld.cu/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0864-21412011000100003
