Profile of speech, language and hearing sciences undergraduate courses in Brazil

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

Purpose

to describe the profile of undergraduate courses in Speech, language and hearing sciences in Brazil.

Research strategy

descriptive and exploratory study developed through documental survey between October/2019 to March/2020. The researchers performed a manual search on the Ministry of Education website and on all available websites of higher education institutions. The data were inserted in a contingency table and analyzed using descriptive statistics.

Selection criteria

active and in-class courses.

Results

134 registered courses were found. After analyzing the data and applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 83 institutions were considered. More than a third of the active courses are located in the Southeast. Most of these courses last eight semesters and are private. Admission is semiannual and through entrance exams. The courses are coordinated by speech therapists and Final Paper has a scientific article format. The course load varies from 3030 to 3360 hours. The supervised internship has between 520 to 684 hours; between 100 to 450 hours for complementary activities. These courses scored an average of three in the student and course performance exams in the last evaluation.

Conclusion

Speech, language and hearing sciences courses in Brazil are similar with regard to the number of semesters and performance concepts, but differ in hours. Courses should strive to follow the National Curriculum Guidelines and value the complete learning of the student, so that the profile of the graduate is consistent with what is in the course planning.
