Contribuições do aporte teórico de Davydov para o ensino do conceito território da saúde

Abstract

Currently, the use of certain active methodologies of a pragmatic nature predominates in the training of health professionals, if not the traditional method of teaching, which represents a major limitation to the promotion of theoreticaldialectical thinking for future health professionals. Health territory is a fundamental concept in the training of health professionals, representing an essential intellectual tool for the production of care based on the epidemiological profile and existing social equipment, especially when there are areas and micro-areas at risk for social, physical vulnerability and biological. It is a concept formulated in the dialectical perspective that, however, in undergraduate courses has been taught through methods that are disconnected from this character. In the conception of Davydov theory of developmental teaching, to appropriate a theoretical concept, the student uses the dialectical method, realizing the rise of thought from the abstract to the concrete, understanding the object in its constitution and development is based upon social and historical needs. Based upon the assumption that this theory contributes to the teaching of the territory of health concept within the dialectical materialist perspective, this research was carried out using these questions: how can the teaching of the territory of health concept be organized from the perspective of contribution of Davydov theory of developmental teaching? How does one insert the student of an undergraduate course in the health area in the investigative movement of the concept of health territory using the method of rising from abstract to concrete thinking? What contributions can be highlighted from Davydov theoretical contribution to the teaching of the concept of health territory? The objective was to analyze the contribution of Davydov theory, pointing out its contributions to give a dialectical character to the teaching of the concept of health territory in graduate courses in the health area. From a methodological perspective, it was carried out in two stages, the first being the literature review and the second, the bibliographical research. The results showed that teaching the territory of health concept guided by pedagogical and didactic principles of Davydov theory of developmental teaching materialized in the structure of the study activity which contributed to advancing the training of future health professionals to work with the territory of health concept as an intellectual and practical tool that allowed health care to be carried out in a more fairer and democratic way
