Ensino com pesquisa: Uma estratégia formadora para alunos de pós-graduação em medicina

Abstract

Objective: To promote and observe, in a participatory manner, a scientific activity accompanied by a didactic-methodological renewal which develop scientific attitude and, at the same time, allow the study about updating the pedagogical skills of doctors working as teachers in medical colleges. Methods: Students of the Post-graduation Program in Surgery, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, from two consecutive classes, conducted a study in which they randomly surveyed 150 professors who work in medical colleges of Medicine in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The study was structured in three stages: defining the investigative content; interviewing, through field research; and discussion of results. Results: Most medical professors interviewed (85%) claim to know the current trends in education, but, when expressing the thought, leave doubt about the real knowledge of the subject. The lectures were used by 90% of respondents and the rest (10%) used other teaching strategies to convey the contents. Only 52% of doctors said they had heard about the Resolution CNE/CES 04/2001. Conclusion: the activity of teaching with research challenged the students as researchers, preparing them for research and construction of scientific attitudes necessary in graduate school, assisting them in solving the problem investigated. The results highlight that the answers in the interview were not accurate enough to characterize the actual extent of professors' pedagogical medical update.
