ABSTRACTThis is a descriptive exploratory study that aimed to identify how students attending a practical nurse course at a vocational school in the city of São Paulo evaluate the teaching strategy of direct study applied to the course Health of Adults.The population was comprised by seventeen students and the sample by fourteen of them. Students had a basic professional training as nursing assistants, and had finished the practical nurse course by the time the evaluation of direct study was carried out. A questionnaire with twelve questions was used as the tool to collect data. It was applied once after the authorization of the Ethics Committee of the entity that supports the school and the school management team. Ethical concepts with regards to the subjects were followed. Different methodology was applied to study the results based on the type of questions: quantified in simple percentages or content analysis, according to what was proposed by Laurence Bardin (1977). Results are presented in charts, tables and graphs. Result analysis was performed according to Freire (2000). Students rated the strategy used as good (86%) and excellent (14%).Eighty-three (100%) semantic units were identified to examine the answers that justified the rates. The units were separated in cathegories: advantages, 44 (53%); not "nice", 13 (16%); difficulties, 6 (7%); feelings, 10 (12%), and suggestions, 10 (12%).Subjects graded the didatic educational proposals from 1 to 4, in crescent order of acceptance regarding directed study as proposed by Nérici (1992); the educational proposals that received higher rates were those that allowed the development of xii issues that interest the student, that increases the pleasure in studying, and that encourage the student to be the subject of his learning process. Considering that directed study was used in a progressive materialist dialectical interactive educational style, we conclude that the students justify the concept given to directed study in a competent and responsible manner, contributing to the improvement of results of learning-teaching process in the classroom, and raising important thoughts on teacher regarding development of skills and competences to use directed study.Key words: Nursing education, directed study, learning and learning process, teaching in vocational education.
