It was developed based on a group of teachers (tutors) experiences on the Nursing Graduation Course of UNIFESO (Teresópolis, RJ).

Among the discussed subjects, we highlighted the valorization of previous experiences brought by students, the work on spaces of professional practice and the concept of meaningful learning.
