dc.description	Muchas variables influyen en el rendimiento académico. Entre ellas, la capacidad para comprender enunciados de preguntas y problemas en los exámenes es un factor clave. No obstante, poca atención se ha focalizado en analizar los componentes de un enunciado. Este artículo da cuenta de un estudio desarrollado con el objeto de explorar la comprensión de verbos empleados frecuentemente en evaluaciones escritas. Se empleó un cuestionario de respuesta abierta, aplicado a una muestra de voluntarios, estudiantes de primer semestre de Enfermería en una universidad chilena. El cuestionario fue basado en la taxonomía de Bloom, que a pesar de su antigüedad aún es ampliamente aceptada. Como resultados principales se encontraron significados erróneos atribuidos a los verbos de niveles taxonómicos bajos. Esto da pistas sobre el problema como condicionante de bajo rendimiento académico. Los resultados dieron pie a la implementación de estrategias didácticas que apoyaran el logro de los objetivos de las asignaturas.<br>There are many variables which affect academic performance. Amongst them, the ability to understand the meaning of questions and problems in written examinations is a crucial aspect. However, little attention has been focused on the skills to analyse problems' components. This article is an account of a research study aimed to explore students' understanding of verbs commonly used in written examinations. In doing so, we used an open-ended questionnaire in a sample of first-year nursing students of a private university, who were all volunteers. The questionnaire design reflected Bloom's taxonomy of cognitive learning, still widely accepted. The main result revealed that the meaning of verbs of the low taxonomy categories was poorly understood. This fact raised the issue of understanding problems as a key factor in low academic performance of students. The results gave rise to the implementation of didactic strategies to support the fulfilment of the learning outcomes.
