Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The selection of students for participation in the course will be subject to prior disclosure with 30 days in advance, through posters and communication in classrooms by the researcher, with guidelines for the application process. May participate students from first to seventh period of the course (did not have first aid content). For selection and availability of vacancies, disclosure was made for a total of 260 students. 104 subscribers will be informed and enlightened about the research and participate after signing the Informed Consent and Informed (IC). The allocation of classes, control and experiment, occur randomly by randomization. We will use statistical software R (version 3.0.2) to give away 52 individuals from the total of 104 study participants to compose the experimental group, keeping the ratio of men and women and among individuals with less or more than 22 years in the experimental groups and control. Using the sample function and the pseudo random algorithm Marsenne-twister, the subjects were assigned to one group or the other.

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome 1: Development of Critical Thinking. To check the outcome psychometric tests will be used (CCTDI C TST), and the parameters presented by descriptive statistics (frequency, standard deviation) and analytical statistics (T-Student test, analysis of covariance).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Students who participated in the educational intervention focused on providing primary health care, based on the PBL guided by MEAPC will get better results in the test California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTID) and test California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST), which students participate in educational intervention focused on first aid care, based on the PBL, but not being guided by MEAPC. To check the outcome psychometric tests will be used (CCTDI C TST), and the parameters presented by descriptive statistics (frequency, standard deviation) and analytical statistics (T-Student test, analysis of covariance). ;Older students (aged less than 22 years) will have better results in critical thinking tests. To check the outcome psychometric tests will be used (CCTDI C TST), and the parameters presented by descriptive statistics (frequency, standard deviation) and analytical statistics (T-Student test, analysis of covariance).
