ABSTRACT
Objective:
to implement a pedagogical strategy in the epidemiology course of a nursing school in a public university.
Method:
This is an interventional prospective study, with a critical epidemiological approach, based on the learner’s worldview for a theoretical conception about science. The development of the study started from a field recognition for the systematization of the teaching-learning strategy and ended with the evaluation of the course.
Results:
67 students participated in the study, 91% were female and 54% were between 20 and 29 years old. Prior knowledge was mostly clinical/biological, and the strategy used enhanced the knowledge of science in a critical, creative and reflective way, stimulating intersectionality and teamwork through the use of Information and Communication Technologies.
Final Consideration:
The pedagogical strategy provided a meaningful learning about the principles of epidemiology.
