Prototipo de simulador de audiometría para estudiantes de fonoaudiología de la Universidad Santo Tomás, Chile

Abstract

This work presents the Audiometry Simulator for Speech Language Pathology Students (ASSLPS) of Santo Tomas University, Chile, developed during 2018. This system will allow students to dedicate hours of autonomous work to the practice of audiometry with an immediate feedback to reflect on their own performance. Students need to use audiometer for the development of the associated procedural competencies, but given the high cost of these equipment, using them outside the classroom is not feasible, limiting student's autonomy in the development of these competencies. ASSLPS is a Java system with a MySQL database of different auditive profiles of type and degree of hearing loss. ASSLPS was developed considering notions of Software Product Lines (LPS). According to the initial results of ASSLPS, they demonstrate the positive impact of ASSLPS use on the autonomy and learning of speech-language pathology students.
