A contribuição dos saberes pedagógicos na constituição do enfermeiro docente

Abstract

The higher education scenario has provided important discussions about teaching activities, including pedagogical, scientific, didactic skills and teacher training. Given the relevance of the topic, the general objective of the research sought to analyze the pedagogical knowledge of higher education nursing professors. Based on the objectives outlined, it was possible to answer the question that guided this research: how does pedagogical knowledge contribute to the constitution of the teaching nurse? Methodologically, the research was carried out based on interviews with seven teaching nurses from private institutions in Rio Grande do Sul/RS. They were transcribed, categorized and analyzed, according to the method of author Roque Moraes. In view of the data analysis, the need to reflect on teaching knowledge added to teacher training became evident. The proposed categories provide answers to the proposed objectives, as well as the guiding question. In view of such reflections, a script was created to encourage training for nursing teachers, based on findings from data analysis.
