The Contribution of Paulo Freir’s Pedagogy to Nursing Education

Abstract

Nursing education has undergone transformations over time, with the dissociation of theory from practice being favored. Paulo Freire's thinking is in line with the construction of a reflective education, an experience of solidarity, with human and social relations. In nursing education, it is possible to apply active methodology involving student participation and commitment to the learning process. However, methodologies based on Paulo Freire's theoretical principle value "knowing how to be" and not just "knowing how to do", which is considered relevant to the education of future nurses. In this way, the main purpose of nursing education should be care: human, professional, ecological and social. The purpose of this article is to discuss the articulation of some concepts worked on by Paulo Freire in teaching, mentioning significant reflections for the construction of transformative knowledge in nursing students.
