PREVALENCIA DE LOS ENFOQUES DE APRENDIZAJE EN ESTUDIANTES DE FISIOLOGíA MéDICA: CUESTIONARIO DE PROCESO DE ESTUDIO REVISADO DE DOS FACTORES (R-SPQ-2F)

objective: to evaluate the effect of learning methodology based on research projects, focused on the prevalence of learning approaches. methods: the r-spq-2f (revised study process questionnaire in two factors) was administered at the end of the semester to 98 medical students enrolled in a physiology course at universidad de boyacá after hiving implemented supervised research projects during the academic period. approaches, motives and learning strategies for each student were determined and the information was correlated with the information of grades given in a numerical scale at the end of the course. results: most students exhibited a deep learning approach (86.6 %) predominantly in low intensity (54 %). a correlation was found between learning approach and academic performance. conclusions: the implementation of supervised research projects was helpful in generating a deep approach to learning in this population, which was reflected on academic performance reported in numerical scale at the end of the course. however, the intensity of the approach is still low and it requires more work in the basic sciences department at the curriculum development level.
