Active methodologies in the learning process in health residencies

Abstract

Objective: To identify evidence in the scientific literature on the use of active methodologies in the learning process in health residencies. Methods: This is an integrative review of the literature, with full articles published between 2014 and 2022, in the language of publication in Portuguese and English, in the databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (PubMed), and Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs), through the Virtual Health Library (VHL), using the controlled descriptors Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), including alternative terms and keywords. Results: 9 articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, showing, for the most part, that active methodologies in health residencies can be used as an effective method to produce student autonomy, as well as a facilitator in the teaching-learning process. Final considerations: The use of active methodologies proved to be effective in different practice scenarios, from more complex activities, such as procedural simulation and surgery training, to methodologies that instigate the process of reflection, such as problematization, which showed the power to exercise greater autonomy for subjects, in the same way that it enables a rapprochement between theory and reality.
