Abstract

At the Universidade Federal de São Paulo, the discipline of Didactic-Pedagogical Formation in Health has been offered since 1996 by the Center for Development of Higher Education in Health (Cedess/ Unifesp) for students of the graduate program. The objective of this research is to analyze limits and possibilities of this discipline from the graduate student’s perspective. The methodology used involved the quantitative and qualitative analysis of questionnaires. The obtained data indicated student satisfaction and encouragement for reflection, participation and exchange of experiences. Initially, students revealed their expectations regarding the technical dimension of teaching, but they gradually became aware of its political and social dimensions as well. This discipline provides an opportunity for reflection on the teacher’s role in higher education, considering the country’s social context and its public policies for education and health.
