Resumo
Objetivo: Comparar o desempenho de estudantes de medicina em testes com consulta compostos por questões abertas (TCCQA), descrevendo variáveis relacionadas ao planejamento, execução, tempo de prova, tipo de resposta e domínio cognitivo das questões. Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo, baseado na comparação entre o desempenho dos estudantes nos TCCQA aplicados sem (2023.1) e com supervisão e restrição de acesso às fontes de informação (2024.1), em um curso de medicina de instituição privada brasileira. Foram consideradas como variáveis exploratórias: tempo disponível para realização dos testes, tipo de resposta e domínio cognitivo das questões segundo a Taxonomia de Bloom. A análise estatística foi realizada no SPSS 26.0 e Excel 365, adotando-se nível de significância de 5% (p ≤ 0,05). Utilizou-se o teste de Mann-Whitney para comparação entre os grupos. Resultados: Foram analisados 1.160 TCCQA-2023 e 1.146 TCCQA-2024. A maioria dos testes supervisionados apresentou médias de notas inferiores (p < 0,05), apesar do maior tempo de prova e da predominância de domínios cognitivos mais baixos. Predominaram respostas longas nos TCCQA supervisionados. Conclusão: Houve diferenças de desempenho entre os contextos avaliativos, indicando que as condições de aplicação influenciam a interpretação dos resultados e a confiabilidade do desempenho individual dos estudantes.
