Workshops for teachers mark working Saturday in Brotas

The teachers of the Physiotherapy course participated, last Saturday (16), in the Academic Unit Brotas, from the last day of the workshop to deepen the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method, an initiative that integrates the actions of the Institutional Program for Teacher Development (PROIDD). The first meeting took place on March 2nd. The workshop was given by the professors of the Nursing course, Cláudia Santana and Jorge Clarêncio Souza de Andrade.

The morning was also marked by an in-depth workshop for the Candeal Program, bringing together monitors who participated in psychodramatic activities coordinated by psychotherapist Georges Curi Salim.

PROIDD is a continuing education and permanent education program, the result of a collective effort that integrates the direction of Bahiana, the coordinators of the undergraduate and graduate courses, the People Development coordination, the Pedagogical Supervisions, the NAPP, the Human Resources area and the institution's professors. Its objective is to promote the personal and professional development of teachers, providing conditions for a theoretical-methodological reflection on the teaching and learning process.

On the occasion, the professors of the Physiotherapy course attended the presentation of the Institutional Development Program – PDI, carried out by the manager of the Research and Institutional Monitoring Center, Gêisa Arlete. The manager of the Human Resources Department, Telma Bastos also participated in the meeting, presenting the Plan for Positions, Careers and Remuneration-PCCR.

ABP workshop
 “In these meetings, we worked a lot on the role of the tutor in the ABP method, the method of building cases and solving problems. It is an active methodology work, in which the problem is created by the teacher with the objective of reaching certain pre-established contents in the curricular component”, explains Prof. Cláudia Santana.

According to the coordinator of the Physiotherapy course, Prof. Roseny Ferreira, the realization of this workshop came from a request made by the teachers themselves. "First, a workshop was held for all teachers at the Bahiana, during the Pedagogical Forum. So, professor Ana Lúcia Barbosa Góes had participated in this first moment and suggested that we organize this meeting for all the professors of the course”.

After participating in the first day of the workshop, Professor Everton Carvalho has already felt the difference. “After I started working with the ABP, I saw that I managed to go much deeper into the contents with the students. When we speak, we are forced to participate, we become more active. Now that I've done the workshop, even in matters that aren't ABP, I follow the methodology. It changed my way of teaching a lot”.

For the curricular internship teacher, João Amaro Coelho Neto, students arrive at the clinic better prepared than before. “Before, the students arrived and wanted us to give the answers. They were waiting for the teacher's answer. Today, they seek more, seek more, their reasoning is much more used. They ask more, but manage to understand more. Despite having more discussions, we have less work in making the student understand the subject”. Prof. João tells that he had already had experience with the method, when he studied Physiotherapy in the Netherlands. “We had to be in constant study. If we were at home, we were thinking about the patient, always analyzing everything”, he says.

Workshop Program Candeal
With the participation of 16 professors from the Candeal Program, the workshop is the first in 2013. “The Candeal Program is entering its seventh year. And because of that, he has a different atmosphere. The first seven years were to establish the program. We started at Candeal, then expanded to Cabula, always with health education work that started with 13 groups and now has 22”, declares Ubton Nascimento, professor of the Psychology course.

The workshop was a moment of deepening for each teacher, in the sense of reflection on what each one has been doing within the program. “We are trying to bring together the complexity of each teacher's training to deal with the complexity of the community that the program serves”, explains Prof. Ubton.
Among the positive points highlighted by him is the transdisciplinary character, a hallmark of the program, in which students from all courses work together and learn to deal with unexpected situations. “It is a very good opportunity for our students to experience in practice what books do not bring, most of the time, not to mention that it is in line with what the World Health Organization advocates, which is multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary work”.
