Lâmpada para os meus pés: o ensino de história da enfermagem, práticas educativas curriculares e identidades profissionais no curso de enfermagem da URNe (1974-1988).

Abstract

During the 19th century, care practices for body care, developed by nurse Florence Nightingale, favored the emergence of a scientific field and a profession: nursing. Thus, from the institutionalization of the profession, the teaching of nursing history became part of the curricular structures of undergraduate courses in several countries. Thus, this research aims to investigate the teaching of Nursing History and the formation of professional identity in the Nursing course at the Regional University of the Northeast - URNe, from 1974 to 1988. The choice for the institution is due to the fact of the URNe be a pioneer in providing the course in the city of Campina Grande-PB. For that, as research sources we use political pedagogical projects; curricular plans; course ordinances, newspapers from Diário da Borborema and interviews with teachers and students of the period. As a theoretical-methodological contribution, we use the concepts of reading, appropriation and representation postulated by Roger Chartier (2002), of the curriculum exposed by Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2002) and of school culture presented by Juliá (2001), as well as we seek to problematize the construction professional identity dialoguing with Stuart Hall (2006). The analysis of the sources was carried out through the Discourse Analysis method presented by Foucault (2008).
