Transdisciplinaridade como metodologia de ensino médico acadêmico: uma experiência na liga de geriatria e gerontologia na Universidade Federal do Tocantins

Abstract

Transdisciplinarity is a pluralistic and holistic approach to knowledge, which seeks, through the articulation between the countless faces of understanding the world, to achieve the unification of knowledge by going through and beyond disciplinarity, with the objective of offering practical and assertive proposals in problem solving. This is an unprecedented qualitative study using the Likert scale applied to students in the multidisciplinary academic league of Geriatrics and Gerontology at the Federal University of Tocantins, through experimental classes (Transdisciplinary Scenes) that sought to identify and understand how this active teaching methodology academic can contribute to medical learning, and, what is the knowledge and appreciation that medical students have about this teaching tool, as well as proposing the validation of a Transdisciplinary Teaching Mask to be incorporated into the academic curriculum. The need for teamwork is real in health care, and has been increasingly required in graduate courses, but these are still little valued in academic education, hence the importance of offering undergraduate students the respective experience in your learning. As a result, the students reported that the opportunity to learn in graduate school with multidisciplinary classes, with the exchange of knowledge capable of reducing tensions and stress, with humanization and a globalized approach to patients, is extremely relevant, thus sharing knowledge with other areas of health: nursing, physiotherapy, psychology, nutrition and law. The Transdisciplinary methodology is concerned with offering solutions applicable to the problems, respecting the regional differences and limitations of the patient and the health system, making the binomial teaching / learning in undergraduate courses more pleasant and multiplying.
