Oficinas como estratégia de ensino do método canguru em um projeto de extensão universitária

Abstract

This Academic Work Completing the Course of the Professional Master's Degree in Health Teaching at the Faculty of Medicine of the Federal University of Alagoas is composed of an article, resulting from the research of the same title “Workshops as a teaching strategy of the Kangaroo Method in a university extension project ” and three educational products. The main objective of the research is to know how workshops can contribute to teaching and learning about the Kangaroo Method (KM), based on the speech of students of a university extension project. In order to reach this objective, a process of construction, execution and evaluation of the pedagogical workshops was developed as a teaching proposal for the MC. The meetings took place virtually and fifteen extension workers from the Physiotherapy, Medicine, Nursing, Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy courses participated. From the analysis of the information, two analytical categories were constructed: “Meanings attributed to knowledge about the Kangaroo Method” and “Relevance in the use of pedagogical workshops in the extension project”. The three educational technical products are: the “Technical Manual for conducting Kangaroo Method Workshops”, which aims to guide the paths for carrying out the workshops; the “Video: Knowing a Neonatal Unit”, which approaches concepts, classification and explanations of the actions practiced in a neonatal unit; and “Kangaroo Method Workshops: Technical Report”, which describes the planning, execution, evaluation and validation of the KM teaching proposal. The results showed that the proposal was positive and generated a contribution to the teaching and learning of the MC to the participants. It is expected that the didactic materials produced in this work provide a theoretical and practical foundation in different formative processes of teaching in health, especially in perinatal care.
