Resumen
Resumen. El estudio tuvo como objetivo crear y aplicar recursos audiovisuales educativos en la evaluación del curso de Psiquiatría, en el Centro de Simulación de la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas (UCIMED) de Costa Rica, con el fin de mejorar la estandarización y la percepción de objetividad del proceso evaluativo. Se utilizó una metodología de investigación cualitativa, basada en diseño (IBD), desarrollada en cuatro etapas: empatizar y definir, ideación, prueba y evaluación. Participaron docentes y estudiantes de la oferta del curso del segundo semestre de 2024 y del primero de 2025. Para la recolección de datos se realizaron encuestas en línea, entrevistas y grupos focales, analizados por triangulación metodológica y codificación temática. Los resultados evidenciaron que el uso de los videos clínicos estandarizados, aumentó la percepción de equidad y objetividad del examen, reduciendo la variabilidad y el desgaste asociados al doble rol de actuar y evaluar entre el personal docente. El estudiantado valoró, positivamente, la experiencia, destacando la claridad en los criterios de evaluación y el fortalecimiento del análisis clínico, aunque señaló como limitación la imposibilidad de interactuar en diversas ocasiones con el paciente estandarizado. Se concluye que la integración de recursos audiovisuales constituye una estrategia pedagógica pertinente, factible y coherente con el modelo constructivista institucional, al promover una evaluación auténtica y alineada con los objetivos del curso. Se recomienda elaborar más videos de casos psiquiátricos, mejorar la calidad técnica de los materiales, incorporar listas de cotejo digitales y fortalecer los espacios de retroalimentación formativa para consolidar aprendizajes significativos y autorregulados.
Abstract. The study aimed to create and implement educational audiovisual resources within the evaluation of the Psychiatry course at the Centro de Simulación of the Universidad de Ciencias Médicas (UCIMED) in Costa Rica, to improve standardization and the perceived objectivity of the assessment process. A qualitative research methodology based on Design Based Research (DBR) was employed and developed in four stages: empathize and define, ideation, testing, and evaluation. Faculty members and students from the course offered during the second semester of 2024 and the first semester of 2025 participated in the study. Data was collected through online surveys, interviews, and focus groups, and analyzed using methodological triangulation and thematic coding. The results showed that the use of standardized clinical videos increased the perception of fairness and objectivity in the exam, reducing variability and fatigue associated with the dual role of acting and evaluating among instructors. Students qualified the experience positively, highlighting the clarity of the evaluation criteria and the strengthening of clinical analysis skills, although they noted as a limitation the inability to interact multiple times with the standardized patient. It is concluded that integrating audiovisual resources constitutes a relevant, feasible, and coherent pedagogical strategy within the institution’s constructivist model, as it promotes authentic assessment aligned with the course objectives. It is recommended to develop additional videos depicting other psychiatric cases, enhance the technical quality of materials, incorporate digital checklists, and strengthen formative feedback opportunities to foster meaningful and self-regulated learning.
