Description
Summary:Aim: reflection upon Freire’s theory about the importance of health teacher’s self-knowledge. Method: theoretical reflective study. Results: granting educators the development of motivation, interaction and sensitivity enables a reflection and transformation of the teacher’s self and of the environment in which the lecturer is. Selfknowledge is also essential to deepen interdisciplinarity, supporting transformation in graduation courses on health area. Pedagogically, self-knowledge awakens, besides the teacher’s sensitivity, the feeling of love, essential to mediate the educational process. Conclusion: it is important that the teacher proceeds with a reflection - action-reflection about him or herself. It might help in the process of recognizing and transforming oneself, which collaborates with a differentiated training of future health professionals
