Abstract :
Background: Bearing in mind the philosophical pedagogical
significance of short phrases for the training of researchers in
the health care ambit, we hence have studied the aphorisms and
striking phrases expressed during the epidemiology course at the
Andalusian School of Public Health.
Methods: Belonging to the qualitative type and applied through the
establishment of a multidisciplinary focus group made up of ten
post-graduated students, where one of them acted as a moderator.
The collection of information lasted four months. Information was
classified in two ways: Firstly, aphorisms and short phrases with a
pedagogical impact; and secondly, data with statistical, epidemiological,
epistemological, pragmatic, or heuristic component, and for scientific
diffusion. It was decided to perform a triangulation that included
a descriptive presentation and a basic categorical analysis. The two
teachers with a highest interpretative load have been identified .
Results: A total of 127 elements, regarded as of interest by the focus
group, were collected. Forty-four of them (34.6%) were aphorisms,
and 83 were short phrases with a pedagogical load (65.3%). Most
of all them were classified as statistical elements (35.4%) followed
by epistemological (21.3%) and epidemiological (15.7%) elements.
There was no tendency towards aphorisms or short phrases
(P > 0.05) among the teachers with more informative representation.
Conclusion: There has been a tilt in the contents towards the
statistical area to the detriment of the epidemiological one.
Concept maps have visualized classifications. This sort of
qualitative analysis helps the researcher review contents acquired
during his/her training process.
