Abstract

Background: Combining visual thinking and storytelling makes whiteboard animation an effective educational tool. However, the impact of whiteboard animation is understudied in health science education. This literature review explored the use and impact of whiteboard animation on teaching in health science education.

Method: A comprehensive electronic literature search was conducted in 5 databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Education Research Complete to identify full-text research articles published in English between 2013 and 2024. Articles were screened to match inclusion criteria, and data were extracted from the eligible studies.

Results: After 2 rounds of screening, 6 articles were included in the review, all focussing on evaluating the impact of whiteboard animations in dental, medical, and other health science education. All studies reported positive impacts on student satisfaction and knowledge acquisition. A correlation between the number of video views and students' longitudinal exam performance was also reported.

Discussion and conclusion: The concise and engaging animations explaining concepts in a storytelling manner offer an alternative mode of presenting teaching material, reducing extrinsic cognitive loads on the learners. Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact of this powerful tool on health science education.

白板动画：健康科学教育的潜在教学工具

背景介绍白板动画结合了视觉思维和故事讲述，是一种有效的教育工具。然而，白板动画对健康科学教育的影响还未得到充分研究。本文献综述探讨了电子白板动画在健康科学教育中的应用及其对教学的影响：方法：在 5 个数据库中进行了全面的电子文献检索：方法：在 PubMed、Google Scholar、CINAHL、Web of Science 和 Education Research Complete 5 个数据库中进行了全面的电子文献检索，以确定 2013 年至 2024 年间发表的英文全文研究文章。对符合纳入标准的文章进行筛选，并从符合条件的研究中提取数据：经过两轮筛选，6 篇文章被纳入综述，所有文章都侧重于评估白板动画在牙科、医学和其他健康科学教育中的影响。所有研究都报告了白板动画对学生满意度和知识获取的积极影响。讨论和结论：以讲故事的方式解释概念的动画简洁且引人入胜，为呈现教学材料提供了另一种模式，减少了学习者的外在认知负荷。需要进一步开展研究，评估这一强大工具对健康科学教育的影响。
