Micronization of global teaching-learning-process interest areas in final exams of the bachelor’s nutrition degree at the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas

Abstract

The main objective of this research study is to conduct a simplification process to micronize interest areas of the global teaching-learning process. This is performed to assess the final exams of 27 courses of the bachelor’s nutrition degree at the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas (Mexico). A total of 270 students participate in the study. A three-phase intervention is applied and converted into a multi-step process: 1) before (preparation), 2) during (application), and 3) after (test application and retest). A micro-oriented didactic rationale of the areas of interest is integrated based on Stanford’s criteria and instructional events. The results reveal an acceptable modelling for grades and also show areas of interest that provide practical elements for the formulation of a micro-assessment concept. It is concluded that these findings contribute to innovating final course exams while preparing students for the EGEL (Examen General de Egreso de Licenciatura) exam in Mexico.
