Health Assessment
Objectives
Promotion of the training of professionals in the investigation and evaluation of health interventions/programs that contribute to the adoption of more active, critical and reflective practices in the work environment. At the end students should be able to:
1. Know and adapt the types of assessment and methodological approaches depending on the complexity of interventions and contextual diversity.
2. Conduct a systematic review of program documentation complemented by the literature to model evaluated actions.
3. Perform consensus techniques in the construction and validation of criteria and measures;
4. Plan and execute institutional or community evaluation projects;
5. Understand, systematize, judge and communicate the results of your evaluation to different audiences;
6. Adopt in professional practice the normative and ethical standards that should guide evaluative research.
7. Facilitate/promote the use of evaluation to improve interventions.

Teaching method
B-learning Curricular unit with individual and group didactic activities, supported by the previously distributed bibliography, encouraging self-learning and a critical sense that facilitate the acquisition of the desired skills. At the end of each Module, the student will be evaluated in the planned activities: - Carrying out the Tasks with submission of file and final work - Participation in discussion forums or communities of practice and webinars.
Completion of activities within the established deadline demonstrates their degree of organization and, ultimately, interest and availability in the learning process. Therefore, this will be a requirement observed in the evaluation process. The final average will be calculated using a weighted arithmetic average, considering the weights attributed to the Final Assessment of the Modules and the Assessment of the Final Work.
