O Logbook como procedimento de ensino e de aprendizagem: acrescentando sabor e cor ao ensino médico asséptico e branco

Abstract

The discomfort caused by the contradictions between medical education and health work, opened the "secret door" by which usually starts the pedagogical reflection in the University: the questioning of the teaching work. Such considerations led the author of this research to experience a new archetype for the developed teaching a medical school stage at the Oeste Paulista University (UNOESTE). In essence, the experience focused on the use of the logbook to the development and learning record and wealth of first impressions about its use (observed by the teacher and verbalized by the students), associated with the interest of other teachers in their construct it raised the desire to investigate this phenomenon. Therefore this research began to be developed in the Master's program in Education of the Oeste Paulista University in order to analyze the academic and social relevance of the logbook as teaching and learning procedure and more specifically, to characterize the constituent principles of the logbook, unveiling its potential to the process of teaching and learning and identify possible weaknesses in its implementation / execution. The choice of a qualitative approach of phenomenological nature of action- research type became natural, wherein the scenario of the research was to own classroom and demonstrations were studied in the logic of the involved subjects (53 students and the mediator teacher, who is the participating researcher). The data from a questionnaire with students impressions about the phenomenon, from the analysis of produced documents by the students and from teacher observation, categorized according to content analysis from Bardin, the logbook had substantiated its significance as a “hybrid” teaching and learning procedure seated in the precepts of active methodology, teaching and learning collaborative, endowed with academic magnitude (process of teaching and learning is dialogic, contextualized, reflective, developed in a warm educational way in a relatively short time) and also social (students with real experience of the working world in health, seizing reality in a critical perspective of knowledge and events). These results qualify the logbook as an interesting methodological option for a training process that understands the medical function as a social phenomenon that seeks to safeguard the life preserving the human of life.
