Active Methodology; Problem-Based Learning; Humanitarian Training;
The training of human resources has been deficient in different educational spaces. This is evident from the growing prevalence of prevalent, but avoidable, worldwide adverse events. In Brazil, the increase in cases of dropout in higher education, especially in the courses of Exact and Technological Sciences, such as Engineering, Design and Information Technology, launches to education professionals the challenge of thinking about training that is part, in the midst of a set of actions, an effective action in the face of evasion and the promotion of a formative and humanitarian process in programming, contextualized, multidisciplinary and engaging to learning. In this sense, the Laboratory of Technological Innovation in Health - LAIS, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, has progressively developed actions that go beyond the frontiers of knowledge in education, emphasizing health education, programming teaching, seeking an active methodology innovative teaching that enables humanitarian training, combining concepts, techniques and also mobilizing the feelings and emotions of learners. All this, with the objective of enabling the understanding and reflection on practical and effective actions at work. Thus, inspired by the participatory culture, this work combines concepts from the area of pedagogy, neuroscience, learning styles and problem-based learning, as a methodology for monitoring human training and programming, of students from the different Engineering, Design and Biomedicine and researchers of the Laboratory of Technological Innovation in Health.
