Projeto Jovem Doutor Bauru: capacitação de estudantes do ensino médio em saúde auditiva

Abstract

Purpose: to develop a training program for high school students on hearing health. Method: 14 high school students from two public schools participated in the training program. The program was divided into three stages: classroom activities, online tutoring and practical activity. During the 1 st stage, participants attended a lecture given by tutors. During the 2 nd stage the participants had access to a web-based electronic tutor, the 'Cybertutor'. During the 3 rd stage practical activities were prepared, providing construction and multiplication of learning for the students. To evaluate the educational online material participants answered an evaluation questionnaire about 'Cybertutor' at the end of the training program. Results: 100% of the participants performed the three stages of the training program. Following the proposal of the Young Doctor Project, the students were entitled "Young Doctors" and multiplied the knowledge gained about hearing health, through a fair exhibition in their respective schools. Data from the evaluation questionnaire on the 'Cybertutor' indicate that most participants showed a positive opinion, showing a high level of approval for the 'Cybertutor'. Conclusion: this training program on hearing health promotes learning in this theme on the proposed population. Health education initiatives, such as the Young Doctor Project, besides providing the multiplication of knowledge, also made possible the integration of the students with the University and the University with the community, forming a network of collaborative learning.

Prevenção da perda auditiva no contexto escolar frente ao ruído de lazer

“…Some initiatives have already been developed for the purpose of promoting and protecting the auditory health of school students. In Brazil, educational actions promoting knowledge in schools are limited (21,23,24,25,26) . The "Young Doctor Project" stands out among them.…”

“…The "Young Doctor Project" stands out among them. This project focuses on the auditory health (24) and develops a training program via interactive distance learning. The program comprises in-person activities using audiovisual resources and 3D iconographic animations from the CD-ROM/Virtual Man: Hearing (27) , online tutorial (Cybertutor), and practical activities, such as workshops, group dynamics, and knowledge multiplication, creating an opportunity for the adolescent to transmit the knowledge to others.…”

Intervenção fonoaudiológica por meio da teleducação sobre a muda vocal e hábitos vocais

“…Originally, the project uses Cybertutor (9,19,20,(22)(23)(24) , but in this version of the project, we opted for the weblog due to the benefit of autonomy to researchers of different institutions, offering resources similar to the Cybertutor such as inserting information (posts) among texts, static images, videos, audios and links, and a comments section in which visitors make considerations, favoring interaction between owner-visitor and visitor-visitor (25,26) . The weblog has been used for the search of information about health on the internet, besides sharing feelings and experiences in situations of illness, allowing patients to feel safer and more confident during the treatment.…”

Estudos em saúde auditiva envolvendo educação à distância e presencial

“…Uma das formas mais eficientes para promover saúde, prevenindo alterações auditivas é a educação tanto para os profissionais com formação pedagógica 5,6,7 , como para pais/cuidadores e o próprio indivíduo deficiente auditivo 8,9 . Também, deve-se ressaltar a importância da educação da comunidade em geral, a fim de tornarem-se agentes multiplicadores do conhecimento e prevenir possíveis patologias audiológicas 10 .…”
