Resumo
Objetivo: Analisar as evidências científicas acerca do impacto de metodologias ativas no ensino superior de bioestatística para acadêmicos da saúde. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada nas bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS e SciELO. Foram selecionados cinco artigos completos, publicados entre 2021 e 2025. Resultados: Os estudos analisados indicaram que metodologias ativas, como Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas, módulos interativos e atividades práticas contextualizadas, podem favorecer a retenção do conhecimento, a satisfação discente, a autoconfiança e o desempenho acadêmico no ensino de bioestatística. Entretanto, a implementação dessas estratégias exige capacitação docente, recursos pedagógicos adequados e atenção à manutenção da base teórica necessária à prática clínica e científica. Considerações finais: A análise dos estudos evidencia que a implementação de metodologias ativas na formação em bioestatística para discentes da área da saúde gera repercussões multidimensionais favoráveis. Todavia, a escassez de pesquisas que compõem a amostra, o confinamento dos dados a um único repositório científico e a expressiva diversidade das abordagens pedagógicas testadas inviabilizam a extrapolação irrestrita desses achados para contextos mais amplos.
