The space of Hospital Pedagogy formation in Pedagogy Courses at Public Universities of Paraná

Abstract

This article has the subject of hospital pedagogy as a field of action for the pedagogue. Therefore, we list the following question as problematic: what formation have professionals offered to support the growing and development of the professional field? Having as general objective the identification of this formation in the context of the Teaching Degree courses in Pedagogy in the Public Universities of the State of Paraná, we analyzed the curricular matrices of the four pedagogy courses in seven State Universities in search of curricular spaces that address this specific formation. We obtained the following results: seven universities do not have it, six have it only as a possibility and only one explicitly mentions the formation of the hospital educator. We emphasize the need for universities to be more concerned with their formation.
