Active teaching-learning methodologies -Educational proposals focused on the learner-

Abstract

In recent years, learning scenarios have been radically transformed, driven by the advancement of technology and the growing demand for competent professionals for the 21st century. This transformation has given rise to new forms of teaching through active methodologies that involve students in their own learning process. These methodologies, in addition to strengthening knowledge, develop practical and professional skills applicable in various contexts, always under the guidance of teachers or facilitators who share the responsibility of learning with the students.

The present documentary study recovers a set of active teaching-learning methodologies, such as problem-based learning, flipped learning or gamification among others, which facilitate the development of key professional competencies for learners, especially in the field of health. Active methodologies allow you to put into practice what you have learned, solve real problems, develop innovative projects and generate on-site experiences that simulate professional environments. In the field of health, these learning experiences are especially relevant, since they allow students to apply and test the knowledge acquired in the classroom, and then build and redefine it in the light of a contextualized reality. This study offers an overview of the most effective active methodologies for the health field and provides practical recommendations for their implementation in the classroom, to contribute to the training of highly competent and professionally committed health professionals.
