Life narratives as a teaching-learning strategy in health education.
Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.66, pp.929-938. Epub 05-Abr-2018. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-57622017.0168.
The written production of narratives has been used as a teaching-learning strategy in health education in the Baixada Santista campus of the Federal University of Sao Paulo. In the present study, the authors discuss how students explore this activity and how professors establish criteria to evaluate the material, which replaces conventional tests. Three experiences are presented: memorial, a biography about playing, and life history of users of a psychosocial care center. The method was based on the choice of excerpts from texts written by students of the class of 2014 and a posterior analysis grounded on the ideas of authors who discuss storytelling. The data points to the importance of considering the creative process when drafting a text, the transience between the verticality of a singular history and the horizontality of culture and the reflection on the subjective constitution in the encounter with difference.
Key words: Life history narrative; Subjectivity production processes; Health education.
