KLAFKE, Teresinha Eduardes; ARAUJO, Bruna Rocha de  and  CARDOSO, Carine Guterres. Health education and student action: the study group and work group in collective health. Psicol. Ensino & Form. [online]. 2013, vol.4, n.1, pp. 3-19. ISSN 2177-2061.

This paper discusses health education and focuses on students' protagonist role in the education process. It describes the experience of the Study Group and Work Group in Collective Health at the Santa Cruz do Sul University (Universidade Santa Cruz do Sul), by examining the way it functions, as well as the theoretical assumptions that support the practices and strategies of action: education projects in the university, student representation at watchdog control levels, and the participation and construction of the student movement. The work developed by the students has been acknowledged by the institution as a powerful movement for a change in health education.

Keywords : Continuing education in health; Collective health; Student action; Health education.
