Analisys of pedagogic-didatic basis to improve the teaching systematization of nursing assistence

Abstract

This is an exploratory and descriptive study with a qualitative approach that aims to analyze the teaching methods and the pedagogical approaches that support the process of teaching-learning regarding the Methodology of nursing assistance. It was carried out in three higher education institutions located in a principal city in northeast Brazil. The Bardin´s content analysis technique was applied. The results show that the process of nursing has been based on traditional and cognitive pedagogical ground, with an expressive constructivist approach and evidences of a behavioral approach. In relation to the teaching methods, results show that common methods usually guide teaching in the subject content, and these expressions seem to be effective in several occasions, even in different moments of the nursing process, and with different goals. We conclude that the educative work demands not only the domain of the content that will be taught, but also the pedagogic competence to run the process according to the new pedagogic paradigm of higher education. It is also important that professors recognize that any pedagogic approach, as well as its respective strategies and teaching methods aim at the student's learning process. Nevertheless, they are usually responsible for the construction of other individual and collectives skills that must be taken into consideration in the prospects established by the national curricular guidelines for the nursing graduation courses and for the demands of our contemporary world.
