Prácticas pedagógicas desarrolladas por docentes en la enseñanza de enfermería

Abstract

Background: The pedagogical practices in nursing education are a wide field of study due to the new health needs. Objective: To identify the pedagogical practices developed by teachers in an undergraduate nursing program. Methodology: Qualitative research, case study type. Data were collected in 2020 through in-depth interviews with five nursing teachers working at a public university in Mexico. Data were organized and analyzed using an inductive approach based on Minayo’s operational proposal. Results: Four categories emerged: Teaching-Why and for what; Pedagogical preparation for teaching; Teaching-learning strategies used by nursing teachers; Challenges of pedagogical practice from the perception of nursing teachers. Conclusion: Teachers report that they did not have pedagogical training and that, at the beginning of their teaching career, they individually sought the necessary preparation to teach.
