Emerging Artificial Intelligence-Based Pedagogies in Didactic Nursing Education: A Scoping Review

Area of Science:

• Nursing Education
• Health Care Pedagogy
• Artificial Intelligence Applications

Background:

• Artificial intelligence (AI) pedagogies are becoming more common in health care education.
• There is a lack of guidance on implementing AI in didactic nursing environments.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review the current landscape of AI-based pedagogies within didactic nursing education.

Main Methods:

• A scoping review was performed using the Arksey and O'Malley framework and Joanna Briggs Institute's JBI-SUMARI.
• Literature searches were conducted in major databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, ERIC, World Science, Google Scholar) from 2013 to 2024.
• Two independent reviewers assessed articles, adhering to PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

Main Results:

• The review identified 16 articles focusing on AI pedagogies in nursing education.
• Key themes included the use of generative AI and the integration of AI with other teaching strategies.

Conclusions:

• Further research is essential to comprehensively understand and evaluate AI-based pedagogies in didactic nursing education.
• Developing evidence-based guidelines for AI implementation in nursing curricula is recommended.
