Abstract
Objective
To identify how the teaching nurse of the technical level of nursing evaluates his/her andragogical skills as a facilitator of learning, for the exercise of teaching.
Method
A cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, developed with 73 teaching nurses, in 30 units of a technical nursing level institution in the State of São Paulo. The data was collected from September to December 2019. The Self-diagnostic Classification Scale of Competencies for the Educator of Adults Role was applied. Wilcoxon's test was used.
Results
A predominantly female sample (72.6%), with a mean age of 40.3 years (SD=7.4) and teaching time of 9.7 years (SD=6.3). The teachers considered that their current level of competence is in moderate knowledge for the development of each skill, while the level that they wanted to work with adults in teaching and learning processes should be in high knowledge.
Conclusions and implications for practice
The teachers considered themselves below the desired level, in all the items evaluated in the andragogical skills, as learning facilitators for the teaching exercise. The study presents great innovation relevance, because there is not available in the literature any study that evaluates the andragogical competences of the teachers of the technical nursing level.
