Strategies of active learning methodologies in nursing education: an integrative literature review.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: to analyze the scientific evidence on the strategies of active learning methodologies used in the training of nurses, as well as their contributions and obstacles in training. METHODS: integrative literature review conducted with 33 selected articles in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Nursing Database, Scopus, Web of Science and Education Resources Information Center databases. RESULTS: among the strategies, simulation, problem-based learning and flipped classroom were highlighted. The active search, the integration of theory and practice and group work were examples of contributions to the training of nurses. However, the lack of preparation of the actors and the lack of structural support contribute to the dissatisfaction of the students. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS the active learning methodology places the student at the heart of the learning process, favors critical thinking and the ability to make decisions.
