PEDAGOGIA HOSPITALAR: a efetiva contribuição à continuidade da escolaridade do enfermo

Abstract

This study approaches Hospital Pedagogy and its effective contribution to the continuity of the infirm schooling. This approach is necessary, because the child and/or teenager that, for any reason, is hospitalized or unable to attend classes, has the right to have their education continued. The departure of the school conviviality may be prejudicial, so the disease cannot be considered as a factor of interruption of their educational process. The goal of this study is to discourse about the existence of the Hospital Pedagogy, seeking the right to guarantee the maintenance of quality education to the child and/or teenager that are hospitalized, treating them as a being that is in the middle of a learning process, and also to highlight the importance of the pedagogue’s actuation in hospital environments. This goal will be achieved through bibliographical research, in which several works will be utilized, as well as legislation, in order to get a satisfactory foundation to the present study. The study evidentiated the importance of the presence of specialized professionals on the hospital environment, where it is clarified how much needed is the education on a child and/or teenager’s life that are hospitalized.
