Living the suffering and challenges in the work

self-critical opinions of a nurse-educators group

Abstract

This is a cutting of my máster, thisI had as objective to know the nurses-educators self-critical expressions concerning the working process on professional teaching for technical nursing. was based on the constructive, social-interactive conception by Vygotsky, which assembled expressions from a nursing teaching group who works in a Brazilian South region state. There were carried out thematic and systematic meetings with the subjects of this study where their reports about their respective pedagogical experiences were explored. It was used the method proposed by Trentini and Paim as an analysis procedure. The results point out that these nurses-educators express their pleasure of working with technical nursing teaching. They also show that the different kind of problems they face during the working process can lead them to all sort of devaluation. Apart from this, the results point out some aspects that are indicatives of internal organization of a social institution as interactive among the subjects of this education level. It also shows that this kind of organization seems to keep changing the pedagogical competence of this group.
