Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the teaching-learning methodologies adopted by teachers of a Nursing course from the perspective of students. Methods: research with mixed methods of the convergent type. This is an excerpt of a comprehensive project of evaluation a program, using the Context, Input, Process, and Product evaluation model. Quantitative data (cross-sectional study with secondary data) and qualitative data were collected concomitantly and then triangulated. Results: regarding the teaching methodologies adopted by teachers, the participating students reported greater use of expository and dialogic classes, 161 (67.6%), among teachers of the basic subjects; and non-dialogic expository classes, 226 (92.6%), by teachers of specific subjects of the nursing area. Traditional teaching and traditional assessment methodologies predominated in all courses. Conclusion: the participating students considered predominantly traditional methodologies and wanted to experience active methods, highlighting the need for interdisciplinarity and greater teaching-service-community integration.
