Cada vez es más evidente la necesidad de articular las cuestiones disciplinares con la Naturaleza de la Ciencia, las relaciones entre Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad, y la interrogación sobre aspectos éticos de la enseñanza y del conocimiento. Presentamos una investigación-acción a partir de una propuesta en base a la serie Breaking Bad para la capacitación de profesores de ciencias. Los resultados mostraron diferentes formas de concebir la ciencia, el trabajo científico y su enseñanza. Se desataca el surgimiento de situaciones éticamente controversiales en la escuela secundaria. La propuesta promovió el debate y la reflexión sobre una serie de hechos con un amplio impacto social, y, se facilitaron los procesos metacognitivos necesarios para la transformación de las prácticas educativas.
Campaigns for Legal, Safe and Free abortion have led to the discussion in March of 2018 of a proposal on voluntary termination of pregnancy at the Argentine Congress, which was not approved afterwards at the Senate. The subject acquired remarkable diffusion in the media and massive participation of citizens in the streets, standing for and against the draft legislation. In this context, it is relevant to address the issue of abortion in Argentina from the bioethical perspective aiming to transcend ideological and moral issues. This article intends to analyse a contemporary Argentine film in which the plot revolves around the attempts of a seventeen-year-old girl who tries to have an abortion in a context where it is illegal. The methodology chosen is qualitative, and proposes content analysis to answers two research questions: how is the issue of abortion exposed in the film, from a bioethical perspective, and how is the contact between the pregnant person and health professionals described. Amongst the results found, considering the basic principles of bioethical principlism, such context of illegality affects the decision of the protagonist. ; A partir de las campañas por el Aborto Legal, Seguro y Gratuito, en marzo de 2018 se debate en el Congreso argentino una propuesta sobre la Interrupción Voluntaria del Embarazo, que luego no es aprobada en el Senado. El tema adquiere una notable difusión en los medios y una participación masiva de los ciudadanos, manifestándose a favor y en contra de dicho proyecto de ley. Resulta pertinente abordar el tema del aborto en Argentina desde una perspectiva bioética que trascienda cuestiones ideológicas y morales. El presente artículo se propone analizar una película argentina contemporánea, cuyo argumento gira en torno al aborto que intenta practicar una joven de diecisiete años en un contexto donde es ilegal. La metodología empleada tiene un enfoque cualitativo y propone un análisis de contenido de la narrativa del film para responder dos preguntas de investigación: cómo se ...
AbstractFrom early in medical school, students need to learn about patient safety, and how to prevent and reduce risks, errors and harm that occur to patients during health care provision. Cinemeducation is a teaching methodology that uses fragments of feature films or TV series in medical education. We hypothesized that cinemeducation could help simplify the comprehension of complex situations for students, aiding in the learning of patient safety and the understanding of human behaviors that impact it. This concept stands as an integral component within a comprehensive medical humanities approach. The study population was the 70 medical students of the second course of a six-year undergraduate program. In a 2-h class, after learning objectives were established, students watched a fragment from TV series The Resident centered on adverse events, and discussed them afterward. To measure learning achievements, we administered a 10-question multiple-choice pre and post-test and a 2-question open-essay post-test. Given the complexity of the concepts related to patient safety, we used a mixed quali-quantitative approach. An exploratory descriptive and content analysis was performed. Sixty-eight students participated and completed the questionnaires. Despite high pre-intervention scores, post-intervention scores improved (mean difference 0.779, 95% CI: 0.475–1.083, p < 0.001). The open-essay questions provided more information about the learning points, mostly related to the understanding of system error and preventive measures against adverse events. Classical teaching methods may be insufficient for learning how to deal with complex situations in hospital contexts. Our results show that cinemeducation may significantly improve learning on patient safety. Cinemeducation methodology can be effective in teaching some complex concepts in medical education. The integration of cinemeducation within medical education, through the lens of medical humanities, offers a dynamic approach to teaching patient safety. By using cinematic narratives to explore intricate medical scenarios, students engage with real-world complexities and the influence of human factor, enhancing their understanding.
