RESUMO

This work has been developed in the Work - Health - Education line of research and is linked to the A3EN Group - Group of Support, Improvement and Update in Nutrition Education. Historically in Nutrition courses, there is an over valuation of technical aspects comparing to social and human aspects. Literature recommends modifications in pedagogical projects to make possible students understanding about their roles as educators and not only mere knowledge transmitters or technical tasks executers. Nutrition Education represents one of the most relevant subjects to Nutrition graduation. The research objective was to describe the developing dynamics of the Nutrition Education subject at Nutrition courses to subsidize the future nutritionists formation improvement. Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed. The first one is used in the initial part of the research, as a questionnaire sent to the Nutrition s coordinators of all Superior Teaching Institutions of the State of São Paulo in a total of 62 of which 23 answered it. The second part was done at the Superior Teaching Institutions that have been registered at the Education Ministry until 1999, when the interviews with the subject s professors were made in a total of 10 institutions and 11 interviews, because in one of them there were two professors. The results analyses of the first part were qualitative - descriptive and of the second part qualitative, using the hermeneutic - dialectic technique, that searches the interpretation of the speech of the professors within their social reality and the text comprehension in a context socialcultural. It were obtained data about the courses (recognition, administrative category, vacancies availability, number of egresses and working periods), about the subject (objectives, timetable, bibliography used, evaluation ways proposed and different ways of thoughts of the professors about the subject approaching through the theory-practice and the professor-student s relationship apart from the complementary formation of the professors. We concluded that there isn t theory delimitation to the subject Nutrition Education, besides it seems to be a germinal of theory construction around Paulo Freire s pedagogical thoughts.
