ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Experience of a virtual course of pneumonology for Medical students at the University of Buenos Aires during the COVID-19 pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic not only affects people´s health schools and universities around the world had to forcibly adapt to a distance education modality. Knowing that the epidemiological situation could continue for several months, the teachers of our Unit, in charge of teaching Pneumonology, had to anticipate and devise a contingency plan to ensure training continuity during 2020-21. The virtual courses took place in four weeks. The classes were given in mp4 format and virtual workshops. Once a week a virtual meeting was held to answer questions related to the content. The students had to be divided into groups to solve practical assignments and a final work with their defense at the end of the course. In addition, they conducted a survey to evaluate the course. The final exam was presential for the 2020 course and virtual for the 2021. All the students who took the exam approved. The experience was enriching, different and challenging. It allowed us to reflect and ask ourselves that the traditional way of teaching can and should be complemented with the resources that technology brings us. Although the total reopening of the University may seem uncertain, this is the opportunity to better plan the way out of the crisis and promote internal reflection on the renewal of the teaching and learning model.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN La pandemia por COVID-19 no solo afecta la salud de las personas escuelas y universidades de todo el mundo debieron adaptarse de forma forzosa a la modalidad de educación a distancia. Sabiendo que la situación epidemiológica de la pandemia podía continuar por varios meses, los docentes de nuestra Unidad, encargada de dictar la asignatura Neumonología, debimos anticiparnos e idear un plan de contingencia para asegurar la continuidad formativa durante el período 2020-21. Los cursos virtuales se llevaron a cabo en cuatro semanas. Se dictaron clases en formato mp4 y talleres virtuales. Una vez por semana se realizaba una reunión virtual para responder preguntas relacionadas con el contenido. Los alumnos debieron dividirse en grupos para resolver trabajos prácticos y un trabajo final con su defensa al completar el curso. Además, realizaron una encuesta para evaluar el curso. El examen final oral fue presencial para el curso 2020 y virtual para el de 2021, y aprobaron todos los alumnos que se presentaron. La experiencia fue enriquecedora, diferente y desafiante. Nos permitió reflexionar y plantearnos que la forma de enseñanza tradicional puede y debe complementarse con los recursos que la tecnología nos acerca. Aunque el momento de la reapertura total de la Universidad pueda parecer incierto, esta es la oportunidad para planificar mejor la salida de la crisis y promover la reflexión interna sobre la renovación del modelo de enseñanza y aprendizaje.
