Abstract:
The guarantee of the right to quality education is a fundamental principle for policy and management
education. In addition to the organizational processes and regulation, as well as for citizenship, currently the
student satisfaction plays a key role for the adequacy of actual courses and the needs of the educational
community who depend on them. This way, interest on active methodologies has intensified with the
emergence of new strategies that may favour the autonomy of students. Active Learning (AL) becomes an
important strategy in healthcare to the extent that theory and practice go hand in hand in the training of
health experts. This paper proposes a conceptual framework (Anaís) for active learning in healthcare studies
and summarizes a qualitative research with healthcare experts and students on the feasibility and
applicability of Anaís and its potentially positive results. Statistical tests and descriptive analysis of the
collected data indicate Anaís could indeed bring a co
ntribution to the healthcare area in terms of benefits to
use it as an AL tool for professional training of physicians and other healthcare professionals and specialists.
