The construction and validation of an instrument for the assessment of graduates of undergraduate nursing courses

“…The practice of the assessment of graduates in Brazilian national territory is, as yet, incipient, considering the accelerated and uncontrolled growth of courses and the offering of places on undergraduate Nursing courses, without the appropriate monitoring of their quality and the different sociodemographic contexts found in Brazil, in spite of the existence of relevant studies with graduates of Nursing courses which raised important evidence for the elaboration of other investigations regarding Education in Nursing. It is necessary to extend these in both public and private teaching institutions, so as to investigate sources of difficulty and what is done well, the coping mechanisms, and how the training contributes during this process; the specific characteristics of the process of training in Nursing in the different regions of Brazil so as to provide support for improvements which could improve the pedagogical practices in this trajectory, and the professional development of the Nurse 2 , 5 - 7 .…”

Students archetypes: the nursing professors’ viewpoint / Arquétipos discentes: percepções de docentes de enfermagem

The intersection of theory and practice must be exercised as one of the indispensable precepts of the education.…”

Rethinking the Health Care Model through the reorientation of training

“…The approximation of theory to practice seems to be closely related to change, which makes sense when one understands the improved practice from the theoretical statement, which is necessary for critical reflection, in order to be confused with it (practice) (9,16) . This movement comes to the encounter of health education as a possibility of construction (theoretical knowledge) and a profile of execution (practices), aiming to reorient teaching and work.…”

“…Based on the interaction with reality, intervention actions -in this case, in the health area -provoke transformation; and it is through the development of the ability to "learning by doing" that this interaction is consolidated (6,8) . However, the training process does not always meet the demands of the real health practice settings, because of its distance from reality, which causes a problem (9) together with the distance between teaching and care institutions.…”
