Evaluation of the syllable from the perception of nursing teachers and students

Abstract

Introduction: The syllable constitutes an essential tool for microcurricular planning in the Nursing career. Objective: Evaluate the syllable from the perception of teachers and students, considering its structure, importance and usefulness. Methods: non-experimental, descriptive, comparative, cross-sectional study with a mixed approach. The unit of analysis was a universe of 532 people, including teachers and students of the Nursing program at three campuses of a private university, located in three Ecuadorian cities (Cuenca, Azogues and Cañar). The interview and survey were used, applying an instrument developed and validated by the authors called EVSIUC-2021. Software and statistical packages were used to process and analyze the data: SPPS and ATLAS.ti9. Analysis of comparison of means was carried out to look for significant differences between the various study groups. Results: 83.3% of teachers and 66.5% of students evaluated and had a satisfactory perception of the syllable. A more satisfactory evaluation trend is evident in the students than in the teachers (p=0.006). There are significant differences (p=0.040) in the students of the fifth semester compared to the other cycles. Conclusions: The curriculum is essential to guide the teaching-learning processes and must be evaluated to carry out cycles of continuous improvement.
