Item Uso de tecnologías de simulación en la enseñanza de procesos farmacéuticos: una revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025-12-09) Tabares Montenegro, EmersonThis systematic review integrates recent evidence on the use of simulators in the training of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and related areas, with an emphasis on their pedagogical value and the conditions that maximize their effect. Searches were conducted in Scopus, Science Direct, Springer Link, PubMed, ERIC, SAGE, SciELO, Redalyc, and Google Scholar from 2015 to 2025, applying PRISMA criteria and critical reading. Fifty-six university studies with learning interventions or outcomes were analyzed. Process simulators (Aspen Plus, Aspen HYSYS/UniSim, DWSIM) predominated, followed by immersive environments (VR/AR “REALIDAD AUMENTADA”, virtual laboratories) and clinical simulation (MyDispense). The findings converge on improvements in knowledge, performance, confidence, and engagement, especially when simulation is embedded in deliberate sequences (pre-lab, guided practice, assessments designed with different surface characteristics but equivalent underlying skills) with clear rubrics and timely feedback. However, methodological gaps are identified in the use of validated instruments, longitudinal monitoring, and reporting of the "instructional dose" (time, iterations, and feedback), as well as a regional underrepresentation in Latin America. The review shows that process simulators (Aspen Plus, HYSYS/UniSim, and DWSIM) strengthen technical competencies; immersive environments (VR/AR “REALIDAD AUMENTADA”) optimize procedural understanding and reduce errors; and clinical platforms (MyDispense) improve confidence and decision-making. The study provides a summary geared toward teacher decision-making by identifying the most effective tools based on competency and proposing principles of instructional design and governance of open educational resources to scale practices with consistency and local relevance.
