Uso de quizzes en línea para reforzar la retención y precisión de la terminología médica en inglés.

Abstract

Abstract: This study evaluates the impact of implementing digital quizzes on the retention and accuracy of English medical terminology among medical interpreters in training. A quantitative approach with a single-group, pre-experimental design was adopted, using pretest-posttest measurement. Ten medical interpreters from different Latin American countries participated. The intervention consisted of the sequential application of five digital quizzes organized by terminological categories, followed by a posttest and a Likert-type perception questionnaire. The analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, considering means and percentages. The results show an improvement in performance after the intervention, as well as a favorable perception regarding the use of digital quizzes as a training strategy. It is concluded that the systematic practice of retrieval through digital quizzes contributes positively to terminological consolidation in specialized training contexts, although the findings should be interpreted considering the small sample size and the pre-experimental design.
