A contribuição da pedagogia hospitalar para continuidade da escolarização durante a hospitalização

Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to understand the role of Hospital Pedagogy in the educational inclusion of students undergoing prolonged medical treatment. Among the specific objectives, it seeks to identify the challenges faced by hospital educators and analyze the pedagogical strategies used in this environment. Methodology: This is a qualitative research, with a bibliographic review of books, academic articles, and official documents on the subject. Publications from 2008 to 2024 that address practices and policies focused on education in hospital environments were analyzed. Results: Children and adolescents who undergo extensive or repetitive periods of hospitalization and medical treatment need to interrupt their studies. To ensure the continuity of learning for this population, hospital classes are established as a resource of fundamental importance. Conclusion: The hospital pedagogue is the professional who materializes the right to education for children and adolescents in situations of hospitalization or prolonged health treatment. Their role goes far beyond teaching; it is a complex activity that integrates education, health, and humanization.
