The Use of Augmented Reality as a University Teaching Strategy in Health Sciences Programs: : A Scoping Review
Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review of the literature is to identify, analyze and synthesize the findings found in the last 10 years regarding the issue of AR in academic health programs and to know the impact it has on students’ learning. At the methodological level, the databases Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science and Science Direct were consulted, inclusion and exclusion criteria were established for the selection of the most relevant articles, methodological quality and relevance were analyzed. As a result, 16 articles suggest that AR has a positive impact on health disciplines, by fostering greater interactivity, motivation, understanding of concepts, acquisition of skills, retention of knowledge and personalization of learning. The systematic review concludes that further scientific evidence is needed to determine the effectiveness of AR in learning and its impact on the development of competences and learning outcomes in current education.
