Abstract

This study came up from an uneasiness that deserved to be researched: how is the pedagogue’s job developed to follow up diseased children in the hospital environment? In face of that, the purpose of this monography is to comprehend how the educational service occurs in the hospital environment. For this reason, this issue developed into others that came to be specific purposes, which are to conceptualize the characteristics and terminologies of the terms used in the Hospital Pedagogy, to know the specific professional formation to this type of service and the pedagogue’s attribution in the hospital environment. This qualitative research was made effective through this study that occurred in a public hospital in Brasília-DF. By Ceccim (1999), Fontes (2008), Fonseca (2003), Matos and Mugiatti (2007), among other theorists, it was possible to analyze some relevant concepts about the studied theme and analyzes the researched data. The results indicate that the pedagogical work at a hospital is not an easy task, due to the lack of knowledge in the academic milieu and by the parents and responsible people. Other reflections and analysis are presented along this study and let us consider that the hospital pedagogue’s work with diseased children is extremely important to continue the studies and to the recovery of these students/patients’ health.
