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

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

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.
