Resumen
Introduction: Medical Schools have make a commitment to both students and society to develop ;in their students the skills required to succeed on the complex health care environments. Objective: The present study was conducted to assess one of several generic competencies ;on medical students: self-direction disposition. It is proposed based on a model of three ;subcategories, which was applied on the Individual Generic Skills Test: self-direction section. Method: The instrument was validated on content by a group of 20 experts on medical education ;and applied to the total student population (135) registered on the sixth-year of the ;M.D. Physician Surgeon program at a private medical school. The instrument was analyzed using factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and descriptive statistics. ; Results: Cronbach’s alpha indicated an internal consistency of 0.659 for the Self-direction section and 0.779 for the complete instrument. The findings suggest that selected items have both homogeneity and validity. The factor analysis resulted on components that were associated ;to three self-direction subcategories. Conclusions: The student’s perceptions are higher in the Emotional intelligence and Continuous ;improvement, with an average of 1.306 and 1.659; which indicates that the university ;must propose learning strategies to promote in the students more organization and planning ;of their learning strategies.
