COLLECTIVE HEALTH MONITORING IN A SCHOOL IN THE NORTH OF THE STATE OF CEARÁ: EXPERIENCE REPORT

Abstract

The monitoring program aims to provide an opportunity to improve the academic training and also awaken the appreciation of teaching and learning of their practice as well as encouraging them to follow the teaching career, intensifying collaboration between students and professors in teaching, research and extension activities. Within this teaching modality, monitoring ends up becoming a link between theory and practice, a practice that often becomes impossible to be carried out in the student's daily life. Thus, this characteristic makes voluntary monitoring a practice, where the search for scientific knowledge is directly related to the activities developed by the monitor and/or monitor. Due to its dynamics, monitoring is also presented as a project that helps the activities to be carried out by the teacher, and its existence is essential for the progress of the discipline. The monitoring experiences took place through the monitoring and guidance of students during theoretical classes and in the production of practical activities of the discipline that included: construction of experience reports, aiming to verify the work of the family health strategy team; the territorialization process; analysis of the population's local health situation; carrying out exercises on the primary care information system; health education practices and the preparation of the field practice report. The mentioned curricular component is offered to students in the fourth semester of the Undergraduate Course in Health Sciences and has a total workload of 288 hours, divided into 200 theoretical hours and 88 practical hours. The realization of monitoring is presented through the construction of practices carried out and knowledge gained. At first, monitoring through the monitoring of academics becomes a major obstacle for these, who were not previously included in the learning process together with the monitoring activity. The use of integrative and stimulating methodologies is a unique part of the learning process and helps the student to better understand the integrality promoted by the collective field of health, something necessary given the constant evolution in the vision and form of application of the methodology regarding the health sciences. In addition, the importance of planning between monitor and teacher is evident, in order to integrate the teacher's technical view with the methodological ideas of the monitor, helping him to adapt his didactics to his students and to develop different forms of learning, something beneficial. not only to the monitor who increases his methodological range, but to the mentor teacher who receives different forms of teaching and to the beneficiary student.
