[Evaluation model of the extra-mural program in nursing: cycle II, Colombia].

In Cali, Colombia, a study was done to test and apply a model for the evaluation of out-of-school training programs in nursing in comparison with classroom programs. The article describes the evaluation model, which starts with the admission factors, considers how they are changed in the process, and compares the results by measuring the effects obtained against the established objectives. The information on admission factors was obtained by means of a questionnaire on health, a survey of teachers, pairing tests for students, and records of input/cost ratios; the source of information on the process was the tests of academic performance in the three courses provided in the design, the evaluation forms, and the student records. The academic records, a survey of graduates and a form for monitoring nursing activities were the three instruments used to measure the effects of the program. The conclusion of the study was that the objectives of the program were attained. Tested experimentally, the model of out-of-school nursing training was found to offer instruction of quality that is helpful to the learning process. The evaluation of the process made it possible both to identify and to solve the curricular, learning and administrative problems. The learning modules have been adapted for the wider diversity of students brought in by expansion of the program. Meanwhile, the instruments for the collection of data for the evaluation have been simplified on the basis of the experimental study.

[An experimental educational model, a complementary Program for Licensure in regional nursing].

A brief review is given of the Supplementary Licentiate Program in Nursing at a Distance offered by the Nursing Departament of the Valle University, Cali, Colombia. The purpose of the Program is to allow general nurses to pursue studies without leaving their place of work, using an experimental education model; if the results are good, it will be extended to other levels of nursing training. The methodology describes the administrative process resultant from the already completed planning stage, and the gains made to date.
