A construção reversa e as trilhas de aprendizagem de múltiplos desfechos como metodologias ativas e contextuais na Educação a Distância em Saúde

Abstract

Aim: To describe multiple outcomes learning trails as methodological strategies for the "Neurological Disorders in Primary Health Care" course construction by the Ouro Preto’s Federal University, commissioned by the Executive Secretariat of the Unified Health System Open University (SEUNASUS). Methods: reverse construction as technical pedagogical conception, under Action Mapping instructional design, “action objectives” built with Ministry of Health and SEUNASUS agreement. Multiple outcomes learning trails were designed as the educational strategy, under the contextual interactionism pedagogical conception. Results: Seven units about consultation needs in neurological disorders knowledge area were developed, with 2 to 3 decision levels in each of them, and feedbacks for all the alternatives constructed, allowing the student to make decisions that lead to consequences and possibly to pedagogical error. From this, the student will make new decisions that can correct the route, or lead to more negative outcomes and to contextual learning in any of these scenarios. Conclusion: The multiple-outcome learning paths strategy demands problem situations construction with greater material production, which will not always be used by the student, but makes learning contextual, approaching the course to his real-world.
