Active methodology in continuing education to address ethics and bioethics

Abstract

This qualitative research, based on the discourse of the collective subject, analyzes distance education as an active methodology in the continuing education of a nursing team at a university hospital in Minas Gerais. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire and a focus group, and organized according to three central ideas that emerged in the meetings. Research participants see distance education as an active teaching methodology that enables interventions at work, provided that there is necessary infrastructure for developing the work process and implementing training in the work environment. The analysis also emphasizes the importance of nursing workers being an active subject in their teaching-learning process, using continuing health education to provide integral, ethical, and safe care to the Unified Health System users.
