Implementación de tecnologías interactivas en la educación médica: Experiencias y desafíos
Abstract
Las tecnologías de la información y comunicación cumplen un papel fundamental en la educación superior, particularmente en la educación médica ya que tiene características propias. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el impacto que tiene la implementación de tecnologías interactivas en el currículo médico, desde las experiencias encontradas en el proceso en la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil, Ecuador. El enfoque es cuantitativo, tipo descriptivo, diseño transversal. La población quedó conformada por 30 docentes. Los resultados muestran que el uso de las tecnologías puede representar una ventaja académica para los estudiantes. Sin embargo, subrayan la necesidad de innovar en las prácticas pedagógicas para satisfacer las necesidades de los estudiantes actuales. Se concluye que, aunque la implementación de tecnologías interactivas en la educación médica sugiere un impacto positivo, también se observó la necesidad de una capacitación constante por parte de los docentes sobre el tema.
