| Abstract (English): |
The Heart Laboratory has been dedicated to the teaching of cardiac anatomy through updated techniques of preservation, dissection, and injection. Since cadaveric specimens cannot be physically distributed to all students across the country, the aim of this study was to combine mixed reality with conventional classes to assess its impact on the learning experience. An interactive class using virtual reality (VR) headsets was conducted, involving 20 first-year medical students. A survey revealed that 40% were repeating the Anatomy course (one half for the second time, the other half for the third). All students (100%) agreed that the anatomical material provided in the course is insufficient, that cadaver-based practice is irreplaceable, but that mixed reality offers a valuable complement, as all of them use some form of technology to study. Additionally, they considered the virtual heart to be similar, though not identical to a real one, and supported the implementation of virtual and mixed reality labs in anatomy courses. In conclusion, in an increasingly technological educational context, it is necessary to integrate new tools to enrich teaching without compromising academic quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
El Heart Laboratory se ha dedicado a la enseñanza de la anatomía cardíaca mediante técnicas actualizadas de preservación, disección e inyección. Dado que los preparados cadavéricos no pueden ser distribuidos físicamente a todos los estudiantes del país, el objetivo de este trabajo fue combinar la realidad mixta con clases convencionales para evaluar su impacto en la experiencia de aprendizaje. Se realizó una clase interactiva con gafas de realidad mixta en la que participaron 20 estudiantes de primer año de Medicina. Mediante una encuesta se obtuvo que el 40 % estaba cursando nuevamente Anatomía (la mitad por segunda vez, la otra mitad por tercera). El 100 % coincidió en que el material anatómico disponible en la cátedra es insuficiente, que las prácticas con cadáveres no son reemplazables, pero que la realidad mixta representa un valioso complemento ya que todos utilizan tecnología para estudiar. Asimismo, consideraron que el corazón virtual es similar, aunque no idéntico al real y apoyaron la incorporación de laboratorios de realidad virtual en las cátedras. Se concluye que, en un contexto educativo cada vez más tecnológico, es necesario integrar nuevas herramientas para enriquecer la enseñanza sin perder calidad académica. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
