Abstract

Background: Considering the ever-increasing changes in today's world, the mission of education in the field of medicine to prepare learners to face such goals becomes difficult. Therefore, in order to face such conditions, it is necessary to use new methods and technologies to make education more effective, and paying attention to integrated learning is a transformation in this field. In this way, the aim of the current research is to present a model for the establishment of the blended learning environment in medical education.
Materials and Methods: The approach of the research was qualitative and its method was combined with the model of Sandolovski and Barso (2006). The statistical population included studies conducted in the period of 1398 to 1402 and 2019 to 2023 in the field of integrated learning with specific keywords in internal databases such as; Noor, Maghiran, Civilika, Ganj, and Alamnet magazines and external databases IJET, Eric, Scopus, Science Direct and Google scholar were collected, and a total of 59 studies were reviewed and after several stages of screening, 20 study units were finally selected. The analysis of the research data was also done with the method of content analysis in the coding method.
Results: The findings in the open and axial coding stage showed that six components: technology integration, flexible planning, active learning, self-paced learning, student cooperation and evaluation, feedback, and improvement were analyzed and extracted in order to establish an integrated learning environment in medical education.
Conclusion: The results show that the presented model meets the diverse needs of the learner and seamlessly adapts to the evolving demands of healthcare. Blended learning represents a historic paradigm shift that equips students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to thrive in the rapidly changing healthcare landscape.
