Metodologias Ativas em Educação a Distância: Revisão de Literatura

The purpose of this article is to map the empirical research that evaluates the results of the application of active methodologies in distance education. This is a scoping literature review that considered a review already carried out in Portuguese. The searches included Scopus and Web of Science. The filters comprised articles published in journals between 2015 and 2019 in English, Spanish or French. The application of selection criteria resulted in the inclusion of 13 articles. The studies focus on higher education and use a variety of methodologies, approaches and strategies for data collection and analysis. Flipped classroom and problem-based learning are the most used active methodologies in the studies. The articles report positive learning outcomes, which are more clearly visible, however, in the long run. The research results show that active methodologies can be used in the individual and autonomous study phase of students’ learning. The conclusion suggests several future works to expand the results of the review.
