title: [The scope of educational strategy in teaching education of visiting professors].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Professors of Medicine usually lack teaching education apart from their speciality. This kind of education and the development of researchers in education are now a priority.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the scope of the visit of professors in the development of aptitude for critical reading of reports on educational research and educational texts in a teaching-education program.
  
  
  METHODS
  An educational strategy was implemented to promote the development of a stance on education and on aptitudes for criticism of educational texts and research reports, which were assessed by means of previously validated instruments. A group of 10 professors was studied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After the course, all the participants increased their scores. A p = 0.005 value was obtained with the Wilcoxon test in the three instruments applied. All the participants showed a stance on education in the retest.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The educational strategy modified and increased the professors' stance on education. The results showed a significant change of stance for critical reading. Even though they are incipient, these results should be encouraged through continuing formation of teaching education.
