Abstract

The Community Health Agent (CHA) has a high importance for public health in Brazil, and training is essential to enable excellence in their performance, playing a key role in the implementation of policies aimed at adjusting the medical model since the creation of the SUS. From this perspective, this study aimed to analyze the use of the problematization methodology in the training process of the CHAs at ESP/MA and how the CHAs perceive the use of the problematization methodology during their training process. A descriptive-exploratory study was carried out, with a descriptive analytical method and a qualitative approach. The sample consisted of students and the facilitator from the municipality of São Benedito do Rio Preto-MA. Data collection took place from August to September 2020. The analyzed instruments consisted of a semi-structured questionnaire with open and closed questions and pedagogical instruments related to this class. The Content Analysis technique was used for data analysis with the aid of the EpiInfo ® software version 3.5.4. The results allowed us to conclude that the Problematization Methodology is used as a pedagogical strategy, which can promote new knowledge based on previous knowledge, stimulates curiosity and skills, making this professional have new, dynamic and complex, individual and collective decision-making, exercising praxis to form awareness of praxis. Therefore, this professional has become an important element in promoting changes in the care model and strengthening primary care. The results indicate that, from this agent's approach to the methodology, they manage to become more critical and reflective subjects in the context of action and protagonists of their teaching-learning process, always seeking to put into practice what they learned in the classroom.
