Abstract

Analyzes School Library Nurse Zélia Maria Teixeira Cavalcante while didactic-pedagogical resource in the classroom of the professionalizing Education Center “Escola Técnica de Saúde Professora Valéria Hora (ETSAL)” of the State University of Health Sciences of Alagoas (UNCISAL). The Valéria Hora School offers courses levels at the elementary and high school levels (multipro fessional technical education in health), through the management bodies of the national and state health education policy in Alagoas. Initially the school's activities met the demands of the community through annual selection process, whose pedagogical proposal is made by subject. Discussions on the Health Education Policy in the state, made ETSAL a member of the Network of Technical Schools of the Unified Health System (RETSUS), created by the Ministry of Health. Its participation in the network modified the physical and administrative structure with the formative proposal for students / workers of the Unified Health System. The courses started to be offered in 102 municipalities in alagoanos (decentralized) and migrated from the traditional teaching methodology to learning active methodology the practice of teaching by problematization and case study and structure organized by an integrated curriculum. The objective of the study is to verify the nuances that involve the administrative sector and the library as an important element for the construction of the student's subjectivity. The methodological approach adopted as type of research the case study having as instrument for data collection direct participant observation. The results point to the lack of an effective dialogue between the actors involved in the school's pedagogical practices in order to insert the library into the school curriculum. In addition, it was possible to observe that the library's performance is minimal in the political-pedagogical project, the collection is inadequate, there are no technological resources and adequate infrastructure, the frequency of sporadic users and, still, there is no librarian. It concludes that within the scope of decentralized courses be necessary to work alsowith the Virtual Library in Permanent Education in Health and the inclusion of a bibliographic referential that refers to the physical, virtual or mixed collection to meet the informational demands of the courses in the teaching-learning practice in classroom. Finally, considers that the materials used by instructors and students should use sources of scientific research with quality criteria in the fields of integration teaching-work-community integration, making the School Library Nurse Zélia Maria Teixeira Cavalcante   one more pedagogical important tool in the acquisition and dissemination of information.
