Evolution of nursing teaching in the use of education technology: a scoping review

Evolución de la enseñanza de enfermería en el uso de la tecnología educacional: una revisión sistemática

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To identify and map the technological tools of information and communication to support the teaching learning process in Nursing teaching courses.

Methods:

This is a scoping review whose search was carried out in seven databases and in grey literature. After an initial analysis of the selection, 88 texts were read integrally, and 29 made up the final sample.

Results:

Virtual learning environment and object, simulation, hypermedia, and software or cellphone applications were the tools the nursing professors used the most. Studies highlight that the application of technology was important in the teaching-learning process, since it encouraged teaching based on safe care, motivating and developing abilities/competences, supported on significant, effective, flexible, and autonomous learning.

Conclusion:

The contribution of the technology for nursing formation stands out, but it should be highlighted that its employment must be critical, reflective, based on pedagogical theories and developed by trained professors.
