Study of the acceptance of e-learning methodologies in the health area: A integrative review

Journal Title: Revista Brasileira de Educação e Saúde - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1

Abstract

The present study is a bibliographical review with the objective of evaluating the acceptance and insertion of the EAD methodology by students and professionals in the area of Health, describing methodologies, their results and their impact on the training of participants. For this purpose, a search was made on recognized bases of scientific articles containing the expressions "EAD and health", "e-learning health", and "e-learning and health". A total of 43 articles were included, of which 11 were on national methodologies, and the others in several countries on different continents. In most of the methodologies the virtual learning environment was used, being Moodle the most cited platform, applied to both professionals already trained in the context of continuing education, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students, in a way complementary to face-to-face knowledge. Of the initiatives carried out, 90.5% had positive results, some of which were even better than comparative face-to-face methodologies, with negative results associated with the lack of engagement of tutors and teachers or the lack of dynamicity of the strategy. The present review shows that distance education has been used to improve, increase and consolidate knowledge inherent to the practice of these professions in a very useful way, besides, it allows, in Health, the democratization of access to resources, being a tool also of Public health.
