A aprendizagem na área de Nutrição Materno-Infantil por meio de casos clínicos como alternativa às aulas práticas

Abstract

The use of active learning methods combined with the early insertion of students in the activities of professional daylife, becomes a potential alternative to reduce the dichotomy between theory and practice. In the Maternal-Child Nutrition course of a Nutrition graduation, due to the impossibility of practical classes and the contact with the public / patient due to the social distance necessary to fight the pandemic of COVID-19, an alternative found was making an activity, in remote format, to simulate a clinical case. With the objective of identifying which Strands of Scientific Learning (FAC) were present in the speeches of the students during this activity, this research found the following FAC: interest, understanding of knowledge, scientific thinking, self identification as a professional; which shows that the use of clinical cases can be made to bring students closer to the public/patients, being an alternative that minimizes the insecurity of students, in face-to-face care in the future.
