A pedagogia hospitalar nas produções acadêmicas da UFAL

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the academic productions of the Federal University of Alagoas that discuss Hospital Pedagogy, in order to identify how the theme is being discussed within the institution. It is based on the contributions of Matos and Mugiatti (2012), who understand Hospital Pedagogy as an educational practice aimed at guaranteeing the right to education of hospitalized children and adolescents. The methodology chosen was the qualitative approach, using bibliographic research and thematic analysis as a method. Eleven works available in the UFAL Institutional Repository published in the last decade (2014-2024) were selected and analyzed. The results indicate that despite the advances, there is still a small volume of productions on the subject at the university. The analyses reveal that Hospital Pedagogy requires humanized and flexible pedagogical practices and greater visibility in public policies that recognize and guarantee the rights of hospitalized children and adolescents, since this area of the pedagogue's work is permeated by various structural, political and pedagogical challenges.
