Spanish term or phrase: cuadrilla (in this context)

I'm doing a chapter on the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and the text is from Chile. From what I can tell, "cuadrilla" means 'worksheet' in this context, but I can't find this meaning of the word anywhere.

"Se mostraron formatos locales para la Planificación horaria y Mapa de distribución de las estaciones del ECOE. **Se explicó la construcción de la Cuadrilla de Examen (Anexo 6-C), la que contiene un resumen de las actividades y recursos materiales y humanos necesarios para el desarrollo del ECOE**."

MV: So Annex 6-C is a multi-column table with column heads, stubs, and at the bottom a few specific questions to answer. I would feel safer if someone else could confirm that my guess is correct -- or come up with a better idea.

After posting the question, I learned that the term is strictly limited to the OSCE. It would not transfer to other contexts.

I still think that your original translation of 'worksheet' is the best option. I looked at pictures of blueprint and they don't look to me like as a piece of paper where you can work with. As you said in your question: 'Annex 6-C is a multi-column table with column heads, stubs, and at the bottom a few specific questions to answer' The definition of cuadrilla does not say that it has to be a grid, it is just a piece of paper with written content, irrespective of whether the content is in tables or not.

I realize that you were on track and I considered awarding you points. However, since this question is so specific to the OSCE, I felt it could be misleading. Also, I looked up 'template' and the definitions in Merriam-Webster don't really fit here.

As "template" and "blueprint" are closely related or partially synonymous, I stand by my suggestion. https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Temp...

Glad you found out that it is a blueprint. I was actually coming to the conclusion that worksheet was the best option, as suggested by you. The definition I found for 'cuartilla' is that it is a text written on a 15 cm wide by 21 cm high paper [...]. One sheet is equivalent to two sheets of paper, so one page is the equivalent of half a sheet' It is only about the size of the paper. Cheers, Aida

I found an OSCE manual in English online, and it's actually called a 'blueprint'. It's a form to be filled in and the English manual has a copy of it with the same structure and column headings. Apparently 'cuadrilla' refers to the boxes to be filled out. Later in the Spanish text they use English 'box' to refer to the cells of the table.

For Liz and Stuart and Aida, your comments were the same thoughts that led me to post the question.

From the context it sounds like it could be a 'chart'; not sure.

grid/ template

Explanation:
"Cuadrilla" suggests a grid format, but there are other types of exam template.

So, as I understand it, "Cuadrilla de Examen" -> "Exam template".

Having compared both definitions, I still consider that "template" is a better option than "blueprint" in this specific case, whatever the OSCE manual may say. However, as long as it isn't inserted in the glossary, I suppose there's no harm done. "Cuadrilla" translates as "grid" in several areas, for example Geoscience, and this is an exam template in grid format. QED.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks, Neil. You were definitely on track. But since the OSCE is so specific, I felt it better to go along with their own term, which I found after posting the question.

Asker: Hi Liz, This was following this line of reasoning I was following until I was faced with the table titled "cuadrilla" and re-read the previous occurrences.

Reference: Ejemplo de Una cuartilla

Reference information:
Es un texto escrito en un papel de 15 cm de ancho por 21 de alto

Tradicionalmente, se le conoce como cuartilla a una medida que equivale a la cuarta de un pliego. De ahí deriva su nombre; por lo que tradicionalmente se llama cuartilla a todo escrito que esté contenido dentro de esta medida. Un pliego equivale a dos folios; por lo que una cuartilla es lo equivalente a medio folio: mide aproximadamente 15 cm de ancho por 21 cm de alto.

Actualmente, el término cuartilla es más amplio. No necesariamente se habla de la cuarta de un pliego cuando se emplea esta palabra.

Generalmente, conocemos como cuartilla a un escrito de tamaño carta, con una letra estándar de 12 puntos a doble espacio. Una cuartilla puede estar escrita en computadora o en máquina de escribir. Los márgenes superior, inferior, izquierdo y derecho deben ser de aproximadamente 2 cm a 2.5 cm. La cantidad de renglones escritos que se generan con estas especificaciones son de 20 a 25 renglones.

Asimismo, también una cuartilla puede medirse a partir de los caracteres escritos en ciertos ámbitos. Por ejemplo, en el sector editorial, es común que las cuartillas se midan por caracteres para que la medida sea mucho más exacta. Una cuartilla equivale normalmente a 1800 caracteres con espacios incluidos. Un carácter es cada uno de los signos de escritura, es decir, letras o signos de puntuación.

También es común que se mida una cuartilla por cantidad de palabras. Por lo general, el estándar es que una cuartilla contenga de 200 a 250 palabras.

En general, entonces, la cuartilla es una medida de escritura. Esta medida resulta útil para muchos tipos de texto, por ejemplo podemos hablar de trabajos escolares, ensayos, artículos, cuentos, resúmenes, sinopsis etc. de una cuartilla.

Asker: Thank you. This probably the origin of the Spanish translation of English 'blueprint'.
