Perception of Technology-Enhanced Learning by Medical Students: an Integrative Review

Lukáš Plch. Med Sci Educ. .

Abstract

This review aims to explore the perception of technology-enhanced learning by medical students. From the initial 2947 records found, 38 studies from journals indexed in the Web of Science database were included after screening. Several main topics were isolated, based on a thematic analysis: student's attitude towards e-learning and modern technologies in medical education; social networks, video, and mobile devices as information source and communication tool; and barriers to the use of technologies in medical education. The results have shown that a positive attitude towards technologies in medical education and learning is prevalent among students. The popularity of blended learning was confirmed.

Keywords: Awareness; Medical education; Medical students; Perception; Technology-enhanced learning.
