Abstract


Introduction : cette étude a évalué l’enseignement de la santé de la reproduction en troisième année des Instituts d’Enseignement Médical (IEM) du Maniema, en identifiant les pratiques pédagogiques, les facteurs influençant sa qualité et les pistes d’amélioration.

Méthodes : une approche mixte descriptive et analytique a été menée auprès de 176 élèves de neuf IEM et de 18 informateurs clés, à l’aide d’un questionnaire, d’entretiens semi-directifs et d’observations directes. Les données quantitatives ont été analysées statistiquement et les données qualitatives par analyse thématique.

Résultats : les cours magistraux étaient largement utilisés (78,4 %), tandis que les méthodes interactives étaient rarement ou jamais utilisées selon 49,5 % des élèves. De plus, 61,4 % déclaraient ne pas participer activement aux enseignements. Les supports pédagogiques étaient jugés insuffisants par 65,3 % des élèves et les ressources didactiques inadéquates par 49,5 %. La qualité de l’enseignement était associée aux compétences pédagogiques des enseignants (p = 0,010) et aux contraintes institutionnelles et environnementales (χ² = 8,96 ; p = 0,003). Les méthodes interactives, les ressources didactiques et la qualité des explications contribuaient positivement à la qualité de l’enseignement (R² = 0,61).

Conclusion : l’amélioration de l’enseignement de la santé de la reproduction nécessite le renforcement des pédagogies actives, la formation continue des enseignants, l’amélioration des ressources didactiques et des conditions institutionnelles, ainsi qu’une supervision pédagogique régulière.
