A pesquisa como alicerce na formação técnica em saúde

Abstract

Abstract: Research plays a fundamental role in the teaching and learning process. Throughout the school trajectory, it is necessary as it privileges the production of student autonomy and offers space for the production of knowledge. This study aims to discuss the use of research as a driving force in the teaching and learning process about oral cancer, describing the didactic strategies used in the Oral Health Technician training course. This is an experience report of teachers from the Technical School of Health of Brasília (ETESB), in the application of two active pedagogical strategies: study group for initiation to scientific research and production of educational videos. Research and knowledge construction contribute to a more dynamic school space. The need for pedagogical practices that qualify the educational process brings reflections and concerns about what it is possible to offer the student, in addition to ready-made classes and closed content on topics that encompass the dynamics of health and the complexity of life. To train students capable of seeking knowledge and knowing how to apply it is to invest in a proposal that favors autonomy and brings tranquility of “duty accomplished‟, until another challenge appears.
