Professional qualification in the School Health Program from the perspective of Complexity Theory

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: To reflect on the qualification process of the professionals of the School Health Program through the Complexity Theory. Method: Edgar Morin's theoretical framework was used to defend the need to overcome the reductionist, disjunctive and limiting view of thought through the integration of knowledge. The recursive, dialogic and hologramatic principles and the concepts of order and disorder supported this process. Results: It was understood that the products and effects are included in the same process and if they are retroactive. The interaction and dialogue between the different professionals through the union of different ideas are necessary and become inseparable for the complexity of the capacities, when not only the parts are in the whole, but the whole is also identified in the parts. Conclusion and Implications for the Practice: It is necessary to integrate health and education professionals in the training of the School Health Program when considering their needs in the work processes, when counting on the contribution of the knowledge of other disciplines and sectors, as well as when sharing attributions in the execution of the activities proposed by the School Health Program.
