Ética en la universidad: una experiencia formativa a partir de la serie Merlí / Ethics in the university: an educational experience with the TV series Merlí / Ética na universidade: uma experiência formativa da série Merlí

RESUMEN

Propósito/Contexto. Este artículo tiene como propósito indagar sobre la enseñanza universitaria de la ética, en ciencias de la salud, a través de una serie televisiva. Las experiencias formativas en esta área suelen enfocarse en la práctica profesional futura a través de casos clínicos breves, dejando relegado el ámbito educativo. Metodología/Enfoque. La metodología utilizada es mixta. Se toma como antecedente la herramienta REST para la evaluación de la sensibilidad ética a partir de la detección de elementos dilemáticos en un audiovisual y se realiza una experiencia de innovación docente con un fragmento de la serie Merlí donde se relata un caso de deshonestidad académica. Los estudiantes debían delimitar las situaciones dilemáticas del fragmento y articularlas con el código de ética universitario. El estudio incluye elementos cuantitativos de la detección de situaciones y principios éticos, y elementos cualitativos de análisis de contenido. Resultados/Hallazgos. Los resultados son, por un lado, la identificación de todas las situaciones del fragmento, focalizándose en mayor medida en aquellas que tienen como protagonistas a los docentes y, además, en las que implican una transgresión explícita de las normas. Los estudiantes pueden identificar situaciones dilemáticas pero les resulta más complejo vincularlas a los principios éticos. Discusión/Conclusiones/Contribuciones. La contribución principal del artículo es la advertencia sobre la relevancia de la aplicación y la reflexión sobre la ética en el ámbito universitario, a la vez que se destaca la utilidad del cine y las series televisivas en experiencias de innovación pedagógica en ética y bioética.

ABSTRACT

Purpose/Context. The purpose of this article is to investigate the university teaching of ethics in health sciences through a TV series. Training experiences in this area usually focus on future professional practice through brief clinical cases, leaving the educational field relegated. Methodology/Approach. The methodology used is mixed. The REST tool for the evaluation of ethical sensitivity is taken as an antecedent from the detection of dilemmatic elements in an audiovisual and an experience of teaching innovation is carried out with a fragment of the TV series Merlí where a case of academic dishonesty is reported. The students had to define the dilemmatic situations of the fragment and articulate them with the university code of ethics. The study includes quantitative elements of detection of situations and ethical principles, and qualitative elements of content analysis. Results/Findings. The results are, on the one hand, the identification of all the situations of the fragment, focusing more on the fact that they have teachers as protagonists, and also, those that imply an explicit transgression of the norms. Students can identify dilemmatic situations but find it more complex to link them to ethical principles. Discussion/Conclusions/Contributions. The main contribution of the article is to note the relevance of the application and the reflection on ethics in the uni-versity environment, while highlighting the usefulness of cinema and television series in experiences of pedagogical innovation in ethics and bioethics.
