VIDEO CLASSES AS A COMPLEMENTARY TOOL FOR LEARNING IN HEALTH: REFLECTIONS ON THE DISCOURSE OF HEALTH STUDENTS

Abstract

The video lesson is an educational resource that combines text, animations, images, among other means to make the information more dynamic, in the same way that it democratizes the interlocution of knowledge, thus enhancing the various abilities of the students. The objective of this research is to reflect on the use of video-classes in the out-of-class learning of health students, with the problem: 'How do physiotherapists and health students perceive the video-class tool in complementary learning in this area? The methodology used was qualitative and quantitative, with the application of a questionnaire with open and closed questions. For the open questions, the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DSC) technique was used and the subjects were physiotherapists attending graduate courses in several health areas, in a city in the south region of Brazil. The results were seven surveyed subjects, which originated eight collective speeches. The collective speeches expressed the video class as a tool that provides practicality in terms of time and space and a complement for learning due to the audiovisual resources, although both the video class and the traditional class are still required, depending on everyday situations.
