RESUMO

This study broaches the development of abilities for the teaching following lecturer’s experiences with a nursing graduating study. It seeks to know when and how lecturers of nursing graduating colleges develop their teaching abilities; to identify the knowledge and the skills developed by the lecturers in the process of building abilities for Nursing teaching and identify how to interfere in this process, through the reflection over the profession of a teacher. Accomplished with the research-action methodology, this social research, intends to corroborate three initial hypothesis proposed by the researcher, yet intending to confirm if the present profile of a teacher emphasizes the personal qualities that brake in the process of building teaching abilities; if this profile is under the influence of the society’s present values and if the structures of the Universities/Colleges (IES) do interfere and determine the professional path and training of the lecturer. In the view of the hypothesis and objectives, the research was made at two successive moments, starting with individual interviews of the teachers whose speech was analyzed through the method of subject analysis, following the technique of thematic analysis, that accordingly with Minayo (1996) consists in finding the signification cores that compose a communication. From this analysis came a synthetic report, adopted as base text for the following moment, which was to build a focal group composed by six lecturers from the teaching staff of a Nursing Graduating course, locus of the research. The data collected in the focal group was analyzed accordingly with the methodology of dialectic hermeneutic, following structural determinants, singular and particular, under the historic-dialectic materialism scope, allowing, thus, to collect the subject’s senses and concepts related to the research’s theme. The results countersign the previous hypothesis and point to the establishment of a new way of thinking and acting in the nursing educational context, intending to improve the assistance to social demands, referring to the process of building ethic-social abilities, involving the capacity of collaboration and cooperation with others (students, users, lecturers and other professionals), establishing constructive and participative human relations, taking the responsibility of being an agent of social transformation, supported by ethics, specially ethics related to the care, respecting the autonomy, the diversity and the responsibility in the relations with others. These relations allowed the development of abilities under the social-educational scope, involving the communication, intellectual autonomy, self reflective and self critical capabilities. The conditions of the educational facility allowed the development of technical-scientific abilities, related to the acquisition, assembling and control of the knowledge needed for the accomplishment of the activities of the nursing educational and practical field. The teaching abilities were not built in a specific temporal moment, but instead, they were built in the course of personal and professional paths, over the teachers daily work, expanding to beyond their formal educational area, trespassing the social fields of interpersonal relations, as much in society , as in the teaching facilities (IES). The speeches recorded have shown great tuning on the direction of a conjunct of intervenient factors, showing the influence of the historical process and the social determinants, those that shape the educational facilities’ structures, establishing the relations with the abilities. As for the abilities, those related to interpersonal relations and teacher-student interaction were developed; also, action planning and those related to using new teaching strategies and methodologies that allowed the improvement of the educational view, and those related to building an intellectual autonomy, as much for the student, as for the teacher himself. For a new conformation of the teaching-learning process, we have concluded that it is necessary for the new nurse-teacher, as much as for the present and those yet to come, to develop abilities that allow them to think and act ethically, and with audacity.
