Abstract:

The competency-based approach requires the adoption of a training system with teaching strategies centered on an active learner, in order to introduce him/her to professionalization. After the implementation of the LMD (License, Master, and Doctorate) system, the Higher Institutes of Nursing and Health Techniques (HINPHT) in Tetouan in Morocco should align themselves with this approach by training competent health professionals, capable of acting in complex and unpredictable situations. This vision could only succeed by having a pedagogical alignment between the curriculum and the didactic tools of teaching/learning and evaluation. In this context, our study is combining nominal group technique and Mind map as teaching/learning and assessment tools to diagnose barriers to learning of midwives students at HINPHT in Tetouan, Morocco, towards the course of "sexually transmitted infections". The results of the combination of these tools highlighted some conceptions of future midwives and allowed us as teachers to adjust our practices according to the level of acquisition of our learners.
