Abstract

The Faculty of Dentistry of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS, for its acronym in Spanish) implements an educational model based on integrated professional competencies, which involves a performance assessment based on criteria of quality, feedback, diversification of actors and moments, with related evaluation instruments. An investigation of quantitative approach, pre-experimental design, case study-like, of descriptive scope was carried out in order to test the Rubric to evaluate presentations of clinical cases as an instrument that guides quality in performance, from the co-evaluation and hetero-evaluation; comparisons were made per shift and gender. As a result, better grades were obtained when evaluating performance in the morning shift and in the female gender (hetero-evaluation), as well as in the evening shift and female gender (co-evaluation). The "Rubric to evaluate presentations of clinical cases" is a valid instrument to guide the quality in the performance of the students through the co-evaluation and hetero-evaluation.
