The communication of difficult news from the perspective of residents in cardiology and cardiovascular health
This article aimed to investigate the experience of medical and multiprofessional residents from a cardiology reference hospital regarding the management of communication of difficult news in cardiovascular care contexts. The study presents the perception of cardiology and cardiovascular health residents within the context of clinical practice focused on communicating difficult news. The research was conducted at the Gaspar Vianna Hospital Foundation, Belém-PA. A total of 27 medical and multiprofessional residents from different areas were selected. The study highlighted a significant gap in the residents' training, with a substantial portion reporting the lack of standardized protocols for delivering bad news. Particularly in contexts of death and cardiovascular diseases, this represents a significant challenge for healthcare professionals, given the emotional complexity involved. The research emphasized the need for specific training, such as the use of the SPIKES protocol, to improve the emotional and ethical approach of healthcare professionals. The lack of training compromises communication quality, underscoring the importance of protocols and ongoing training for a more humanized practice.

Multiprofessional Residency in Family Health: Documentary analysis on training and performance in the UHS
The research proposes a documentary analysis of the regulations that structure health residency programs, focusing on the multidisciplinary residency in family health (MRFH), discussing its main formative elements in light of the specialized literature. It has a qualitative approach, in which descriptive documentary analysis and discursive textual analysis of four official documents structuring health residency programs were carried out. The documents analyzed evidence a historical and continuous normative effort to transform the MRFH into an ethical, interdisciplinary formative experience focused on the concrete reality of users and health services of the Unified Health System (UHS). However, its effectiveness depends on the concrete materialization of its precepts in daily training, which requires integrated actions between educational institutions, managers, health services and the residents themselves.
A DREAM MADE OF LINES: WEAVING MEANINGS ABOUT FEMALE PROTAGONISM
This study analyzes the work A Dream Made of Threads by Ana Carolina Carvalho, which stands out for its detailed descriptions of settings and the recurring presence of threads and lines woven throughout the plot. The embroideries serve as a starting point for sensitive discussions about the threads that allow us to stitch together life and encounters, weaving stories and representative figures. In the city "full of silences," as described by the narrator, the dreaming girl also creates plots rich in imagination and invites the exploration of spaces, characters, and their representations. In this exploration, we consider the female figure as a central axis of the narrative, emerging amid the metaphor of threads of dreams and silences as an element that sensitively contributes to the humanization and formation of literary readers. Given this context, the objective of the study is to discuss the composition and possible meanings of the picturebook. Methodologically, this is an analytical study based on theoretical frameworks related to children's literature, the visual dimension of language, and the relationship between verbal and visual language. We highlight the representativeness of the work and its elements—especially the female protagonist—understanding her contribution to the humanization and development of readers through the reflection enabled by the encounter with these elements. Word and image broaden the polysemic meanings of the narrative and poetically help the reader to reassess stereotypes, representations, and reflect on them and on feelings.
Interprofessional collaboration in a hospital environment: perception of statutory nurses
Introduction: in hospitals, where patient care transcends the capabilities of a single specialty, interprofessional collaboration becomes essential and challenging. Objective: to identify the perception of statutory nurses at a public hospital about interprofessional collaboration. Methodology: quantitative research, with a cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory, prospective design, with statutory nurses from a public hospital, using the Jefferson Scale of Attitudes Related to Interprofessional Collaboration. Results and Discussion: it was observed that nurses have little experience in interprofessional collaboration, including during graduation, with 35.29% reporting that teamwork in healthcare cannot be a result of interdisciplinary teaching; 14.7% agreed that the main role of other health professionals is to follow, without question, the instructions of doctors who are treating patients; 67.65% disagreed with the statement that job satisfaction is not related to interprofessional collaboration practices; 41.17% agreed that, due to the differences in each role, there are not many areas that allow overlapping responsibilities between healthcare professionals. On the other hand, 79.42% agreed that health professionals should be involved in making political-administrative decisions regarding their work. Final Considerations: The team's perceptions about interprofessional collaboration can be influenced by previous experiences and undergraduate training. The research, carried out with statutory nurses, with more than two decades of professional activity, revealed the need to institutionalize interprofessional practice in the hospital environment, based on permanent health education practices.
A construção do conhecimento em empreendedorismo na educação de jovens e adultos
O artigo discute a construção do conhecimento em empreendedorismo no contexto da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), com base em uma experiência pedagógica desenvolvida no curso de Formação Inicial e Continuada (FIC) de Assistente Administrativo, ofertado pelo Instituto Federal do Amazonas – Campus São Gabriel da Cachoeira, no âmbito do PROEJA. A proposta buscou integrar a formação básica à qualificação profissional, considerando as especificidades culturais, sociais e econômicas dos educandos. Através de metodologias participativas, como dinâmicas de grupo, escuta ativa e utilização da metodologia Design Thinking e do Modelo de Negócio Canvas adaptado, o componente curricular de Empreendedorismo foi desenvolvido com foco no protagonismo dos alunos, na valorização de seus saberes e na construção coletiva de soluções para os desafios locais. O ensino do empreendedorismo é abordado de forma crítica, não limitado à criação de negócios, mas como ferramenta para promover autonomia, geração de renda, identidade cultural e transformação social. O estudo enfatiza que empreender na EJA deve considerar os valores da solidariedade, sustentabilidade e justiça social, fomentando práticas alinhadas à realidade das comunidades. Os resultados demonstram que a abordagem empreendedora, quando contextualizada, fortalece o vínculo dos estudantes com a escola, promove o desenvolvimento de competências para o mundo do trabalho e estimula a criação de alternativas econômicas baseadas nas tradições e potencialidades locais. Conclui-se que o ensino de empreendedorismo na EJA pode ser um instrumento de emancipação e valorização dos sujeitos, contribuindo para uma educação mais significativa, inclusiva e transformadora.
“Pedagogical residency program” in the teacher education
This research aimed to analyze the perceptions of Physical Education teachers who work in Basic Education and who participated in the “Pedagogical residency program” during their initial training in the undergraduate course. The research settled a qualitative approach, of an exploratory objetiive, focusing on understanding the formative experiences and pedagogical impacts experienced during the undergraduate course in Physical Education for entry into the teaching career. Three Physical Education teachers, of both genders, aged between 24 and 25 years old, who were part of the PRP while attending their initial training at a Federal Institution in the state of Ceará, participated in the research. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews, based on a script composed of fourteen objective and subjective questions. The interviews were transcribed and submitted to thematic analysis, allowing statistical analyses to be carried out based on the data obtained. The results reveal that the choice of the participants was related to personal motivations, such as previous experiences with sports and affinity with teaching. Furthermore, one of the main challenges faced during the development of the program activities was the context of the pandemic. Despite the difficulties imposed by remote teaching and social distancing, participants reported that the program provided the development of autonomy, the construction of a teaching identity, and the consolidation of didactic knowledge. We therefore conclude that participation in the program proved to be fundamental for entering and remaining in the teaching career, configuring itself as a significant formative experience in the professional trajectory of the teachers investigated.

Health, technology and deaf accessibility: An analysis of the last 10 years.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals often face limited access to adequate healthcare conditions. This study aims to investigate access to healthcare services for this population, as well as the current technological developments designed to mitigate these challenges. A segmented narrative review was conducted using the SciELO, Scopus, and PubMed databases. Initially, the search terms “Deaf” and “Medical assistance” were used, followed by a search for “Deaf” and “Mobile applications.” The selected publications were synthesized and critically interpreted to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the content. The analysis of 91 articles on “Deaf” and “Medical assistance” revealed that qualitative studies were the most frequent (34), with Women’s Health being the most addressed thematic area (18). Among the 10 articles on “Deaf” and “Mobile applications,” sign language translation applications were the most prominent (4). The challenges faced by deaf individuals in accessing healthcare include communication barriers, the lack of professionals trained in sign language, and the scarcity of accessible materials. The findings indicate that technology can help overcome these obstacles, highlighting the need for further studies on the subject.

We hope this research contributes to the evaluation of the Program and encourages further discussion on the topic. Keywords: Teaching Initiation, Biology, Teacher Education.
The environment and health interface in nursing training: an integrative literature review
Environmental health has gained prominence in recent decades due to the impacts of ecosystem degradation, climate change, and socio-environmental transformations that directly affect human health. In this context, the training of healthcare professionals, especially nurses, must incorporate competencies to understand and intervene in the environmental determinants of the health-disease process. Brazil, a country marked simultaneously by high biodiversity and accelerated urbanization and industrialization processes, faces unique challenges, such as epidemics of vector-borne diseases, chemical contamination, and inequalities in access to sanitation. The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the interdependence between human, animal, and environmental health, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary approaches in healthcare training. This integrative study analyzed the inclusion of environmental health in nursing curricula, aiming to outline a national overview and identify future prospects. The review followed five methodological stages and included the analysis of six Brazilian scientific articles that met the selection criteria. The results highlight weaknesses and fragmentation in the approach to the topic, which is treated in a specific, superficial, or overly disciplinary manner, lacking the necessary cross-disciplinary approach to promote a systemic view of health, the environment, and the territory. Despite some innovative initiatives, such as specific courses and extramural practical experiences, these remain isolated and poorly institutionalized. The conclusion is that there is a significant gap in nursing training regarding environmental health, and that integrative pedagogical strategies, active methodologies, and the strengthening of teacher training are urgently needed to consolidate environmental health as a structuring axis in the educational process.
The humanization workshop as a possibility for the transformation of work in health
The National Humanization Policy (PNH) has used the workshop technique as a tool for the promotion and capillarization of Politics, aiming at forming and intervening in health services. The research presented in this article proposed to analyze possible changes occurred in the practices of professionals who participated in a humanization workshop held at a university hospital in the northeastern region of Brazil, interested in obtaining internal advances in the Policy. Based on theoretical contribution of discursive practices and production of meanings, the information production stage generated four categories: Humanization Commission, as an institutionalized dialogue space; knowledge about PNH; management support as a determining factor for strengthening the Policy; polysemy about humanization. In the results and discussions, the participants considered it important to have an institutional space to discuss and continuously reflect on how they are producing health. In the final considerations, a small advance in the strengthening of PNH in the hospital was highlighted through the implantation of the Humanization Commission, a formal space supported by the management, in which the hospital's work processes are discussed and proposals for changes are sent to improve the service provided to the population. Keywords: Humanization of assistance; University hospitals; Teaching assistance integration; Health Unic System.
A Trajetória de Joaquim Fernandes Venâncio: ator social invisível da ciência
This article presents a historical account of the career of Joaquim Venâncio Fernandes, an invisible social actor in science, who worked as a laboratory assistant for thirty-five years at the Oswaldo Cruz Institute at the beginning of the 20th century. Most of the time, Joaquim Venâncio worked with the researchers Dr. Adolpho and Dr. Bertha Lutz and is cited as a direct collaborator in most of their discoveries, although there are records that he also accompanied other researchers, including foreigners visiting Brazil. Although he had little formal education, Joaquim Venâncio was extremely competent and had an enviable knowledge of zoology. He was credited with the first ideas on pregnancy testing, based on the inoculation of female urine in Rhinella marina frogs. Researchers Adolpho and Bertha Lutz acknowledged the importance of Venâncio's collaboration in their discoveries, citing him directly in some of their articles and naming one of the amphibian species they discovered after him. In line with various studies which point out that certain historical approaches to science allow scientific knowledge to be constructed in a contextualized way, the accounts presented in this article are seen as a possibility for use in the classroom, which could spark debate on issues of gender, race and power relations, which are present in the process of constructing scientific knowledge to this day, thus contributing to a more representative education in science, with a view to training citizens who fight for greater social justice.
Adoption of Photographed Botanical Plates as an educational alternative to Physical Herbarium Specimens.
Some teaching and research institutions do not have environments and technologies that allow students to have direct contact with plants. Therefore, seeking to alleviate these difficulties, it was proposed the construction of botanical plaques of plant organs to be inserted into a virtual environment, making it possible to reach a greater number of people. To this end, organs of the species Clitoria fairchildiana Howard were collected. These organs were placed on a black fabric, which served as a backdrop for capturing the images. The images were edited using the GoDaddy Studio application (Aman Bhutani), removing the background and adding a scale ruler to measure the length of the organs. With botanical plaques in a virtual environment, access to information can be expanded online, with potential for use in research, teaching and extension, by everyone. It is concluded that the material produced is of excellent quality, providing more details of the species' organs than exsiccate. Its use contributes and can facilitate the teaching-learning process. It is useful for educational institutions, research and activities related to the comparison and identification of plants and can also be used in extension activities.
PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING IN BASIC EDUCATION: APPLICATION IN SCIENCE FAIRS
Seeking new strategies that promote learning, the use of an active learning methodology for teaching science is proposed here. The methodology chosen was Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and was applied to help 8th grade classes of elementary school to prepare their work for a science fair. To achieve this, students from the biological sciences degree course, members of a teaching project (Prodocência), presented the proposal to the 8th grade classes, provided instructions on how to prepare the work, provided guiding questions to spark discussion among members and worked alongside them during the execution of the tasks. The culmination of the Science Fair included an oral presentation and poster and other material exhibition. The students' engagement in bringing everyday elements showed not only the students' creativity, but also their ability to connect academic knowledge with real life. The present work demonstrated that the application of the PBL methodology, together with the holding of science fairs, can effectively promote a more dynamic and meaningful education.
Knowledge of primary school teachers in public schools about first aid
Within the school environment, school staff, especially teachers, are responsible for maintaining the well-being of students and supervising their activities, being the first point of contact in the event of an injury to a student. Based on the considerations made, this study aims to understand the knowledge of elementary school educators in public schools about first aid. This is a descriptive study, of a quantitative nature, conducted in eight municipal elementary schools in the city of Fortaleza-CE. Participants answered a questionnaire consisting of questions about sociodemographic characterization and knowledge in emergency cases at school, which was answered by 120 elementary school teachers. Teachers who took the first aid course at graduation and/or underwent first aid training after training, presented significant self-reported preparation, with p<0.001 with Cramer's v = 0.406 and p<0.02 and Cramer's v = 0.275, respectively. It is concluded that the majority of teachers are not theoretically prepared for situations considered potentially fatal. The teachers who presented the lowest self-reported capacity were those who did not take the first aid course during their undergraduate studies or were not trained in first aid in the school environment.

The research descriptors were the key terms: organic agriculture and soil health; Healthy eating and organic foods; Organic food consumption and sustainability; Organic production and soil health and education for soil sustainability. The discussion presented here aims to provide a greater understanding of the processes and variables that are intertwined in the relationships involving organic consumption and sustainability, promoting the strengthening and dissemination of this topic and, consequently, increasing the levels of knowledge and education for sustainability, notably regarding to soil health.
Da abordagem biológica do conceito de raça ao processo de desconstrução do racismo
This paper presents the report of an experience developed in the context of teacher formation actions at the Federal University of Acre, from which emerged the organization and development of a Didactic Sequence (DS) for Basic Education, within the scope of the curricular components of the area of Natural Sciences and its Technologies. In order to approach the theme of racism from a discussion based on the Natural Sciences, we selected the following concepts: race, ethnicity, identity, racism, scientific racism, institutional racism and the myth of racial democracy. The DS had six activities, in which 25 students from the 2nd grade of High School participated. From the analyses of the productions carried out, it was possible to perceive changes in the perceptions of racism after the problematization of the concepts, since initially the students approached it only to elements related to its impacts on the subjects' lives, which are: trauma, shame, fear, insecurity, anxiety, embarrassment, psychological and emotional problem. Afterwards, however, the perceptions pointed out the impacts, such as prejudice and discrimination, but articulated them with the generating factors, especially skin color and the concept of race. Thus, we highlight the relevance of the pedagogical approach of the proposed theme, in order to discuss in the classroom the misuse of knowledge of the Natural Sciences in the justification of processes of discrimination, segregation and deprivation of individual and collective rights.
Dignidade menstrual em escola técnica de Ensino Médio
Objective: Understand the perceptions of teachers and school administrators regarding the promotion of menstrual dignity. Methods: This is a qualitative, exploratory research conducted with the management team of a state school in São Paulo, using a semi-structured questionnaire, during the period from August to September 2023. The data were analyzed using the IRAMUTEQ® program and Thematic Analysis. Results: Three categories emerged: 1) Menstrual dignity - beginning, middle, and end, which highlights the actions taken by the school to promote menstrual dignity; 2) From the distribution of pads to menstrual health as a right, which includes the participants' views on menstrual dignity and how it impacts the lives of all who menstruate; 3) School as a promoter of menstrual health, which indicates that the school environment should be a place of support, safety, and accurate information to positively impact the community beyond the school. Conclusion: The implementation of a specific program was relevant and important for promoting menstrual dignity in the school and increasing the knowledge of teachers and students on the subject, making them feel more secure in dealing with, addressing, and sharing the topic.
The inclusion of Physical Education Professionals (PEP) in Brazil's Unified Health System (SUS) represents a significant advance in health promotion and disease prevention. This scoping review, based on PRISMA-ScR (Tricco et al., 2018) recommendations and Arksey and O’Malley (2005) methodology, aimed to synthesize scientific evidence on PEP's role in SUS, addressing their trajectory, insertion models, training, and challenges. Searches were conducted in five databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scielo e CAPES) for studies published between 2015 and 2025. The thematic analysis categorized the findings into seven main axes: History and Institutional Recognition; Insertion Models and Performance Profiles; Professional Training and SUS; Public Policies and Strategic Programs; Territorial Distribution and Workforce; Potential for Interdisciplinary Action; and Paths to Professional Consolidation. Results indicate a growing, yet challenging, consolidation of PEPs in SUS, especially in Primary Health Care. While PEPs show potential for expanded and intersectoral action, academic training, precarious employment, and underutilization of their competencies limit comprehensive care. In conclusion, valuing and investing in the qualified training and inclusion of PEPs are crucial for strengthening Primary Health Care and effectively implementing health policies in Brazil.
School gardens are living spaces for learning that go beyond simply growing food. They represent real opportunities for transformation, where students develop not only healthy eating habits but also environmental awareness, cooperation, and a sense of belonging to the community. This direct contact with the land awakens essential values, connecting theory and practice in a meaningful way. In this context, this article aims to investigate how the practice of school gardens has contributed to the development of critical socio-environmental and food awareness in basic education students and what challenges still need to be overcome to strengthen this pedagogical approach. This study conducted an integrative review of the literature available on scientific indexing platforms. It was found that school gardens encourage interdisciplinarity, strengthen students’ relationship with the environment, and encourage sustainable practices. Although their educational benefits are widely recognized, their effectiveness is limited by recurring challenges, such as a lack of financial resources, insufficient teacher training, and weak integration with public policies. This highlights the need to seek management models and policies that ensure the continuity and consolidation of these practices. School gardens go far beyond growing food. They sow the seeds of an education that blossoms into conscious citizens, capable of transforming reality and building a more sustainable future.
Teacher training and its relationship with science clubs
This systematic review examines the relationship between teacher education and science clubs by analyzing scientific publications from 2012 to 2025. The study, based on data from the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), identified 17 relevant works after rigorous screening. Results indicate that science clubs serve as potential spaces for teacher professional development, fostering investigative practices, interdisciplinarity, and pedagogical reflection. The Federal University of Pará (UFPA) stands out as the main institution producing research on the topic, accounting for 65% of the analyzed studies. Key contributions include the construction of teacher identity, the promotion of inquiry-based teaching, and the integration of theory and practice. However, a regional concentration of research and the need for greater articulation between clubs and formal curricula were observed. The study concludes that these spaces are strategic for critical and innovative teacher education, suggesting the expansion of policies that strengthen their integration with initial and continuing teacher training.
Therapeutic exercise guide developed for patients with multiple myeloma
The development of educational technologies promotes comprehensive care for individuals served by the public health system. In the oncological context related to Multiple Myeloma, the application of these technologies is essential, as this cancer often causes a loss of functionality due to the staging of the disease. This can compromise the individual's overall health. Therefore, the aim of the study was to describe the development of a Therapeutic Exercise Guide aimed at preserving and/or recovering the functionality of patients with Multiple Myeloma. A methodological study was conducted in four stages: situational diagnosis; initial study of a guideline; literature review; and construction of the technology. The development of the educational technology was crucial, as ensuring physical function/functionality is prioritized in patients with Multiple Myeloma, which is already compromised even before diagnosis. The steps of the study allowed for the identification of key clinical and laboratory parameters for performing exercises safely and individually, in order to ensure functionality.
Training itinerary in reception and the practices of nurses in a high-risk maternity hospital
This article relates the reception training itinerary with the practices of nurses in a high-risk maternity hospital. This is a case study, with a qualitative, exploratory descriptive approach, with a theoretical-methodological basis on Discursive Practices and the Production of Meaning in Everyday Life. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with seven obstetric and pre-delivery triage nurses at a maternity hospital located in northeastern Brazil. The research results pointed to a weakness in reception training in formal education contexts, with weak integration between theory and practice. There was emphasis on non-formal education and the need to recognize the subjective dimension of users. We concluded that nurses' practices had little relationship with the formal reception training itinerary, but that learning on the subject took place in non-formal education contexts.
Teaching ink signature to the blind through practical approaches to the dimensions of Computational Thinking
Accessibility to all content for a person with a disability is the responsibility of an inclusive society. Therefore, the work is a report on the experience of teaching a congenitally blind adult person to sign in ink. The methodological approach was a qualitative exploratory case study, focusing on private lessons given to a music teacher and pedagogue who was considered illiterate on his identity card because he did not sign in ink. The activities were structured based on the teacher's experience in teaching blind children to sign using the skills of unplugged Computational Thinking, focusing on Piaget's reflective abstraction. The study highlights that reflective thinking helped the teacher understand the letters of the name and the Computational Thinking skills were used in activities that led the teacher to learn in 15 days what he had not learned in 38 years, leading him to several embarrassments such as always having to sign documents on demand. The results showed that, with a methodological approach sensitive to individual needs, it is possible to teach a congenitally blind person to sign in ink, quickly and reflectively. We conclude that personalized, collaborative teaching between teachers and students achieves results quickly and, from the new identity with the signature, the blind person in question gains self-esteem and citizenship.
Geoprocessing from the perspective of Environmental Sciences
Geoprocessing can be considered as a relatively new science and the discovery of this tool has revolutionized the field of the most varied areas of knowledge. Because of this, the study aims to demonstrate the contributions and applications of geoprocessing in Brazil, with approaches that involve tools available for the systematization and processing of data in the areas of environmental sciences. The theoretical framework was prepared based on data collection from secondary sources through the integrative review, considering the historical series of 26 years between 1995 and 2021, whose sample research obtained 40 scientific publications on the topic of geoprocessing. The result indicated 126 undergraduate courses, with a predominance of 18% (N=23) for Undergraduate/Bachelor's degrees. In total, 103 authors were included in this review, 39% with PhD degrees, 27% with Postdoctoral degrees, and 19% with Master's degrees. Of these, about 63% linked to federal universities, 18% to state universities, 5% to federal institutes, 3% to foreign institutions and private colleges, and the remaining 2% to government agencies. The preference for publications in the article format concentrated 75% (N=30) of the selected works. The prevalence of studies with geoprocessing, presented by the researchers, is focused on analyses of natural disaster prevention, climate change, water resources management, urban planning, and the initial use and concept of this technology in basic education.
Objeto de Aprendizagem para apoio e orientação à cirurgiões-dentistas na temática atividade odontológica e normas sanitárias
The health legislation relevant to Dentistry is plentiful, which may lead to failures in its understanding, application or knowledge. Considering Information and Communication Technology as a facilitator of teaching and a stimulus for the training and updating of health professionals, the objective of this study was to create a Learning Object (LO) for dentists in the State of São Paulo to identify whether their establishments and work processes are in line with health legislation. This is an exploratory-descriptive research, with a qualitative and quantitative approach. For the development of the LO, the Flutter framework (3.13.7) was used, with the Dart programming language. For data collection, it was created and validated by health authorities, an instrument with one open-ended question and seven multiple-choice questions. The quantitative analysis occurred on objective questions, using descriptive statistics, while the qualitative analysis was carried out on the discursive question, using Bardin's content analysis. 100% of respondents to the open question gave positive opinions about the LO, with 9,52 of them also mentioning points for improvement. In objective questions, the overall average of responses was 4.65 and the average per question was between 4.40 and 4.85, scores considered favorable. The standard deviations per question were between 0.36-0.57, and the average of the answers to all questions was 0.35, attesting to the low variability between assessments. For functionality, usability and efficiency, LO was suitable for more than 98% of dentists. Thus, the LO Visa Odonto was validated, proving capable of contributing to the dentists in the context of health legislation.
Professional Perception Of Periodontal Disease
Periodontal disease represents a major public health concern and remains one of the leading causes of tooth loss among adults. Effective prevention and control require not only evidence-based clinical interventions but also educational strategies that foster patient adherence to oral hygiene and supportive periodontal therapy. This observational study assessed dentists’ perceptions of factors associated with periodontal disease and the educational practices implemented in primary care settings. Twenty-five dental surgeons from the municipal health network of Pinheiral, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, participated in the study and completed a structured questionnaire addressing clinical, educational, and organizational aspects of periodontal care. Results indicated that 61% of the professionals believed patients were not adequately informed about periodontal health, and 84% identified poor oral hygiene as the primary cause of the disease. These findings highlight the need for continuous professional development in educational approaches that combine effective communication, motivation for self-care, and individualized guidance. Strengthening dentists’ training with pedagogical and organizational competencies is essential to improving clinical outcomes and consolidating a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to oral health.
Reflexão da prática como estratégia de educação permanente de educadores
This study aims to develop a theoretical educational construct for the activity Reflection on Practice as a strategy for the Permanent Education of teachers, based on our experience as learning facilitators in the Project Development of Residency Program Management and Preceptorship in the SUS - DGPSUS edition 2021/2023. It used concepts of reflection on practice developed by contemporary educators with significant contributions from the reflective school. A figure was constructed based on the evaluation wheel, enabling the epistemology of the reflective teacher to be visualized in the development of the Reflection on Practice activity. The construction of the theoretical framework allowed us to understand that the power of the way we developed this activity for processes of changing practices lies in the collective process of self and hetero reflection in a learning community that shares context, signs, meanings and contemporaneity.
Reflexão sobre a educação dialógica como estratégia de qualificação de base comunitária para o letramento em saúde
This study aims to ground Freirean dialogical education and its relationship with health literacy as a reference for the educational practice of nurses within community movements in addressing the determinants of socially determined diseases and infections. It is a theoretical and reflective study, originating from the discussions of the Study and Research Group on Educational Practices in Health, supported by Paulo Freire’s theory of dialogical education, which seeks the emancipation of individuals through praxis; by the practice of health literacy; and by the initiative of the program “Healthy Brazil: Uniting to Care.” The analysis of the themes addressed in the reflection revealed that Paulo Freire’s dialogical education constitutes a key strategy, allied to health literacy, in confronting the social determinants of disease, promoting the population’s increased control over their own health and the development of autonomy. The construction of this theoretical framework highlighted that the inclusion of practices grounded in health literacy in the training of health professionals, as much as dialogical practices, is essential to prevent disease and to promote care that respects the real needs of each individual and community.
Relato de prática com experimentos de baixo custo
O presente trabalho é um relato de prática de ensino com experimentos de baixo custo sobre o meio ambiente na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA). Esta prática faz parte da Oficina Articula voltada para uma educação ambiental crítica no contexto da graduação e pós-graduação. Foi realizada no âmbito de um projeto intitulado “Percepção Ambiental de Alunos da EJA” desenvolvido numa universidade federal pública, pertencente à Rede Articul@ções. A percepção ambiental dos alunos participantes foi contextualizada em seu cotidiano, baseando-se em técnicas de sensibilização e participação socioambiental. Verificou-se que as atividades experimentais influenciaram a compreensão dos alunos sobre meio ambiente nas dimensões: micro (indivíduo, interação dos alunos com as atividades experimentais), meso (escola e entorno, relação dos experimentos apresentados com os problemas socioambientais vividos em seu cotidiano) e macro (global, alunos propuseram soluções para os problemas ambientais abordados relacionadas aos experimentos). Este relato evidenciou a efetividade desta atividade na promoção de uma educação ambiental crítica e de uma EJA emancipatória e democrática no Brasil.
Uma Revisão Sistemática de literatura sobre o Júri Simulado no ensino de ciências
Esta pesquisa visa investigar a utilização da estratégia júri simulado no ensino de ciências partir de uma Revisão Sistemática de Literatura (RSL). O processo de seleção dos artigos seguiu critérios rigorosos, como a escolha de periódicos em língua portuguesa disponíveis no Portal de Periódicos da CAPES/MEC, e a utilização de descritores específicos para a busca, como "Júri Simulado" e "Julgamento Simulado" no contexto educacional, além de critérios de exclusão. Foram encontrados 73 artigos sobre a temática, deste 23 foram analisados de forma detalhada. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciaram a aplicação do júri simulado em diferentes contextos de ensino de ciências, comprovando que essa prática pode despertar habilidades nos estudantes que não eram previamente notadas. Os artigos selecionados para a análise abordam a aplicação do júri simulado em diversas disciplinas científicas, como Física, Biologia e Química, e mostram que essa estratégia pode ser adaptada para diferentes níveis de ensino e temáticas. Os desafios na implementação do júri simulado são reconhecidos, mas os benefícios pedagógicos são destacados, tornando-o uma estratégia valiosa para a educação científica. Conclui-se que a RSL demonstrou que o júri simulado é uma estratégia que pode contribuir para o ensino de ciências, atuando na formação de cidadãos cientificamente alfabetizados e preparados para enfrentar desafios do cotidiano.
