Abstract

Considering dynamic and meaningful learning, the present study aimed to analyze the use of Storytelling applied remotely as a teaching activity for students of an undergraduate nursing course who participate in an academic association. A cross-sectional analytical and qualitative study was carried out, whose participants were students linked to an academic association at a federal public university, in the city of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil (BR). Data collection was carried out through an electronic form and remote focus group, demonstrated by descriptive statistics and analysis of the thematic content by category, with the Significance Units identified by colorimetry from the meaning of each Record Unit that gave rise to two categories: 1) Storytelling during the teaching-learning process and 2) Storytelling perceived by students. The stories demonstrate the students’ perception in relation to the planning and teaching-learning experience, regarding the use of Storytelling and the collective construction of the story presented, based on the challenges and contributions that this process brought to their training. It was observed that Storytelling can be used as a strategy to mobilize emotions and feelings, dynamic and meaningful, adaptable to the digital format and positively accepted among undergraduate students. Its use is suggested in the teaching-learning process and in research to measure its effectiveness and efficiency.
