LAGE, Ramayana Heringer et al. Teaching and Learning in Dentistry: Analysis of Individuals and Practices. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2017, vol.41, n.1, pp.22-29. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v41n1RB20150155.

This pedagogical study aimed to investigate the training process in dentistry, from the perspective of managers, teachers and students of a dentistry course at a Higher Education Institution (HEI) – the Fluminense Federal University (CNF-UFF) Dental School – Nova Friburgo Campus. A non-probabilistic sample was comprised of 98 subjects (8 managers, 28 teachers and 62 students) who completed questionnaires. The analysis was performed using the Collective Subject Discourse technique (DCS) and social representations. The results showed that 49% and 76.5% of the professors and students of HEI, respectively, do not know about the NCGs (National Curricular Guidelines). The suggestions for improvement included the provision of teacher training courses, including subjects for discussions such as NCGs, improvements in campus infrastructure and a more compatible student-teacher ratio. Therefore, the study showed some shortcomings in the practices and attitudes perceived by managers, teachers and students. However, some people seem to be duly concerned about the alignment of the Pedagogical Political Project (PPP) with the NCGs.
