Abstract

The search for meaningful learning promotes a rethinking of the approach adopted by teachers and students to take into account innovative methodologies based on previous experience of learning objectives. This article therefore describes the fundamentals of collaborative learning and the use of concept maps with different individuals in a hospital setting to promote learning about the complexity of their particular situation and in turn achieve higher levels of quality of life for school children receiving hospital treatment. The study also aimed to involve health professionals and health educators in this process and thus gather information to develop a Learning Object.
