Trabalho educativo em espaço não escolar: ação docente no hospital universitário lauro wanderley/UFPB

Abstract

This work is located in the field of non-school education studies. More precisely, it deals with teaching work in the hospital space. Its general aim is to investigate how teaching work is carried out at the Lauro Wanderley University Hospital (HULW)/UFPB with children who are hospitalized. Methodologically, it was a qualitative research, which was developed through participant observation, documentary analysis and biographical interviews. From the point of view of the theoretical-analytical framework, the guiding categories were, for example, teaching work, hospital classes and pedagogy as a science of education. Regarding the results, the following was found, for example: 1) teaching work at HULW contributes to the reception of hospitalized children; 2) teaching work in such an institution is successful in ensuring the continuity of studies of hospitalized children, being a bridge for their return to school after being discharged; 3) at the HULW, there is a need to structure and consolidate the ambience more properly demanded by the hospital classroom.
