RESUMO

We aimed to validate a national and original pedagogical model for the medicine undergraduate course. This model is called CD/DW (Clinical Decisions/Diagnostic Workshops) and is based on innovative conceptions. The objectives were: 1) to check the effectiveness of the method, in regard to the cognitive and clinical competences acquisition and 2) to collect opinions of the users on CD/DW method. We carried out a cross-sectional study within the Neurology Department of FCM/ Unicamp (Faculty of Medical Sciences of Campinas State University). The development of study method followed extensive review of neurological themes in keeping with the guidelines of national curricula for the medical undergraduate course. We develop three CD/DW kits about Stroke, Headaches, and Convulsions/Epilepsies. The method development had two parts: an experimental and a comparative one. The former was started by the semantic and content analysis, and by the pedagogical value proposal, carried out by medical undergraduate teachers, physicians and educators. After the suggested adequacies by the professionals, the three kits were applied to seventeen student sub-group of the 4th year of medical undergraduate course from FCM/Unicamp, who registered their opinions about the proposal. The students suggestions, if pertinent, were incorporated to the material. We chose the theme Stroke to start the comparative study. During this stage, it was defined two groups of students (groups: 1 and 2, with 35 (thirty-five) and 33 (thirty-three) students, respectively). Group 1 was submitted to CD/DW method and group 2 to a presentation class, and a traditional subject discussion, both of them about Stroke. All students underwent the (KAP) Knowledge, Attitudes and Perceptions test about Stroke, before and after the interventions. In addition, we collect open participants opinions and questionnaires. The opinions showed that CD/DW was well accepted by students and teaching staff. The comparative study showed that both groups had cognitive acquisition, and in the post test KAP, the CD/DW group grades were higher than the control group. The main criticism was the long duration of second stage proposal (DW). We concluded that CD/DW method was considered adequate and effective. It is an original pedagogical option for the medical undergraduate course, adding values to the established existent models
