CARVALHO, Wellington Mendes et al. Acceptance of the use of active methodologies during training sessions in the SUS by undergraduate and graduate Dental students. Rev. ABENO [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.1, pp. 88-98. ISSN 1679-5954.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the acceptance of the use of active teaching-learning methodologies during training sessions in the SUS (Brazilian National Health System) with quantitative and qualitative data analyses. Thirty undergraduate and 10 graduate students answered a questionnaire after their participation in activities using the methodology. The data showed that 67% of undergraduate and 70% of graduate students had never experienced active teaching-learning methodologies. Moreover, the students showed great satisfaction with the new method that was totally approved. The active methodologies were shown to be a feasible didactic and pedagogical alternative with acceptance among undergraduate and graduate students, in accordance with the National Guidelines for Dentistry Course Curricula in Brazil.
