RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Compare the outreach of a promotional educational strategy that focuses on active participation and compare it with a more traditional approach to medical training. METHODS: A quasi-experimental design was approved by the research committee. We compared the outreach of two different approaches to medical training. We administered a validated instrument that included 72 items that analyze statements used to measure educational tasks in the form of duplets through 3 indicators. A group that included seven physicians that were actively participating in teaching activities was stratified according to teaching approaches. One of the approaches was a traditional one and the other included a promotional strategy aimed at increasing participation. All participants signed informed consent before answering the research instruments. Statistical analysis was done using non-parametric tests. RESULTS: Mann-Whitney results did not show differences among the group in the preliminary analysis. A second analysis with the same test after the interventions found significant differences (p d" 0.018) in favor of those subjects that had participated in the promotional approach mainly in the indicator measuring "consequence". The Wilcoxon test showed that all participants in the promotional approach increased significantly (pd" 0.018) in 3 main indicators as compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS: A promotional strategy aimed at increasing physician participation constitutes a more profitable approach when compared with traditional teaching methods.

Objetivo: Comparar el alcance de una estrategia educativa promotora de la participación con el de una tradicional, sobre el desarrollo de postura ante la educación en médicos docentes. Métodos: Estudio cuasiexperimental en el que se empleó un instrumento validado de 72 enunciados que abordan aspectos del quehacer docente en forma de duplas excluyentes a través de tres indicadores. Los grupos naturales se conformaron por siete médicos con actividades docentes cada uno, inscritos en dos diplomados en docencia: uno abordado de forma tradicional y otro con una estrategia promotora de la participación. Los instrumentos fueron aplicados previo consentimiento. El análisis estadístico utilizado fue no paramétrico. Resultados: La U de Mann-Whitney inicial no mostró diferencias entre los grupos; la misma prueba tras las intervenciones tuvo diferencia significativa (p≤0.018) a favor del grupo intervenido, principalmente en el indicador de consecuencia. La prueba de Wilcoxon mostró que todo el grupo intervenido incrementó significativamente (p≤0.018) en los tres indicadores; situación no encontrada en el grupo comparativo. Conclusiones: Una estrategia promotora de la participación alcanza mejores logros en el desarrollo de una postura ante la educación.
