A temática da violência contra a mulher idosa num curso técnico em enfermagem: o que revelam os documentos e a práxis pedagógica docente?

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze documents and teaching pedagogical practices developed in the Subsequent Nursing Technical Course at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of the State of Pernambuco, Campus Abreu e Lima, in order to understand whether violence against elderly women is covered as a didactic phenomenon. The main objective was to analyze how this topic is approached in the documents and in the teaching and learning process in the aforementioned course. The research is qualitative in nature using documentary analysis and application of questionnaires. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP), under number 64297722.5.0000.0127. Three teachers participated in the study. Data analysis was carried out based on the “cores of meaning” methodology of Aguiar and Ozella (2013). The research results show that in the Course Pedagogical Project, integral human formation is emphasized and present throughout the document, permeating the curricular components through the transversality of themes related to the appreciation of the human being. It is identified that the approach to violence against elderly people, specifically against women, has a guaranteed space in the curriculum through legislation inserted in the course's curricular components. However, it is necessary that the educational process involves the expanded concept of health and care in its multiple dimensions, and it is also essential that in addition to teachers, other professionals such as directors, advisors, etc. have contact with the theme of aging and violence against the elderly, in educational processes to deconstruct preconceptions and stereotypes, based on a methodology that promotes awareness, information and training, including the theme of gender and its intersectionalities, considering that the task of educating requires a constant movement of learning. A vision must be considered that is not limited to the training of professionals, but that points to a culture of peace. Therefore, during vocational technical education, activities must be developed that can promote awareness of respect for individual and collective rights and an understanding of the damage caused by violence in different life cycles and especially in old age.
