Socio-Integratory Educational and Transformative Project

PROJECT: based on the social inclusion of people with disabilities. Prioritize

labor inclusion

PSIET Objective: I Path / III Path

Preparation of the diagnosis and design of the action plan , presentation of the results
and transformative proposal
Moment 1 – Management: brief description of the aspects to be addressed

Phase I Diagnose: Search for information and identification of the problem

1. Preliminary data : relevant basic information
Community, home and family data (ASIS):

a. geographic location
b. Community life history
c. Community organization
d. Elements of social determination
e. Dispensarization
f. Organizations linked to the project

Phase II Design: includes the formulation of the plan, objectives and goals,
models and techniques for practice, schedule of activities and the approach

1. Purpose: describes what you want to achieve based on the Comprehensive

Health Care Model and establish the relationship with the curricular units

2. Identify weaknesses and strengths found: This should include a meeting

with community members applying a SWOT matrix

3. Models of practice and specific techniques : at this point the discourse

should focus on the theoretical models of the profession and the reference
frameworks guiding the transformation process of the community, groups of
people or organizations.
4. Objective and specific objectives: the first step is to determine the objectives
(general and specific) that will guide the action plan; they must be focused on
the theoretical model of the profession.

5. Activity schedule: make the action plan in which you must respond with
a. Gantt diagram
b. Analysis of activities
6. Approach: according to the objectives of the basic health team in relation to
the components of comprehensive care: Promotion, prevention, diagnosis and
timely treatment, rehabilitation - habilitation and social and inclusion.

Moment 2 – Execution - Systematization of experience: brief description of the

aspects to be addressed

Phase III Design execution: describes the implementation of the plan, one
must be carried out for each path

 Orderly reconstruction of the experience (rely on the field notebook)

1. Chronological account of activities
2. Identification and description of the context in which the activities were
developed
 3. Identification and description of key actors
 Critical analysis and interpretation of experience: reflective and critical
action of experience, relationship between theory and experience (approaches,
theories, paradigms, concepts, methods)
 Preparation of transformative proposals: prepared from the learning
obtained

 Learning report
Moment 3 – Results – Learning: brief description of the aspects to be addressed
Phase IV Assessment of the results: describes the learning obtained in the
research: what did I learn in relation to the curricular units and the theories of the
profession
