O ensino a distância na formação em saúde: uma revisão integrativa de literatura

Abstract

Research on the training of health professionals indicates the need for substantial changes, especially with regard to the desired professional profile and pedagogical model adopted. The need is to build a more constructivist learning, and in this perspective, Distance Education (EaD) can contribute to this end. The present article aimed to identify how the literature addresses the application of distance education in the training of health professionals. For this, an integrative literature review carried out. Although a considerable number of publications were listed from the search with the crossings of terms listed for the study (thirtyfive), only 9 met the inclusion criteria defined for this review. The included studies were presented considering their objective, the methodology used and the main results found. It was conclude that most of the experiences with the inclusion of EaD in health were successful and were able to meet, even partially, their goals. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
