Strategies for continuing education of teachers in undergraduate health courses

Abstract

The advances of the current society influenced different areas of knowledge, including the scope of health. In view of this, the continuous training of teachers becomes relevant. Objective: This research aimed to analyze literary evidence on the forms and requirements used for the continuous training of teachers, with possible application in the undergraduate course in health. Method: This is an Integrative Literature Review, carried out from six stages: Research question, criteria of inclusion and exclusion, categorization, evaluation, interpretation and final writing. The databases used for the searches were MEDLINE, LILACS, CUMED, BDENF, SCOPUS, ERIC, SCIELO and Web of Science. Primary studies were included, with year of publication between 2014 and 2020, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, related to the proposed theme. Results: The search in the database resulted in the selection of 32 articles from which ten categories were extracted: Information and Communication Technology, Reflection of practice, Workshop, Pedagogical training courses, Problem-based learning, Skills development, Design Thinking, Distance education, Bloom's Taxonomy, and Personification. Conclusions: In the educational field, there is a wide diversity of forms and conditions necessary for teacher training, considering the specificities of the context, which can subsidize the qualification of teaching offered in educational spaces.
