Análise da eficácia da implementação de metodologias ativas no ensino de histologia: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

Histology teaching traditionally uses expository methods, but active methodologies have been introduced to promote more meaningful and contextualized learning through a deep understanding of concepts, longer-lasting retention of knowledge, stimulating the development of cognitive skills. The objective of this integrative review was to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing active methodologies in teaching histology. The integrative review was conducted through an extensive review in the Capes Periodicos and Lilacs databases, including articles published in English and Portuguese, between the years 2020 and 2024, using combinations of controlled descriptors. 18 articles were found for final selection, including 11 articles and excluding 07 articles. The results indicated that active teaching methodologies contribute to greater knowledge retention and improved academic performance. The review suggests that implementation improves students' academic performance and motivation, although more experimental studies are needed to confirm these findings in varied contexts.
