Abstract:
The aim of this study is to analyze the perceptions of professionals working in a Regional Health Office in Health Education. This is a qualitative exploratory-descriptive study. Interviews were held with eight professionals from the state public sector, responsible for implementing public health policies. For analysis we used analyzing thematic content methodology. The results were discussed based on proposals of Paulo Freire. It was noted that health professionals have different perceptions regarding questions related to education and health education, and their educational practices are supported by the traditional system. The situation callsfor a change, which includes unifying concepts and building a new educational praxis, reviewing practices at all times and incorporating new knowledge to guide the construction of a new model of health.
