Abstract:
Educational technologies have been increasingly used in medical education to promote innovative pedagogical strategies in classroom. However, the medical scientific community still lacks a comprehensive understanding on how educational technologies are used in medical education. The objective of this work is to explore what types of technologies are employed in medical education, aiming to identify in which domains they have been applied and the reported evidence of using educational technologies in medical education. We conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to identify the primary studies on the use of educational technologies in medical education, following a pre-defined review protocol. One hundred sixty-eight papers were selected, covering nine types of education technologies, which were applied in more than 40 medical domains. Moreover, our SLR results also show that most of the papers included in this SLR reported positive evidence about the benefits of using these tec
hnologies in medical domain.
