RESUMEN
This work aims at presenting a reflection on the method of research in the health field. Some questions are presented which involve the use of the method of natural sciences and that of social sciences in an attempt at understanding some methodological problems concerning the former and the latter. Problems related to the methodological issues in the elaboration of investigation projects in this field and the need for continuous discussion are pointed out as to: the differentiation of the nature of the object of investigation; the context in which a determined problem is identified; the type of question which is asked when it is problematized; technical procedures, the theory and the interpretative scheme on which it is founded; the dichotomy concerning the subject/object of knowledge; the researcher's neutrality; the concept of casualty.

The study aims to describe teaching practices--in planning, execution and evaluation of the teaching-learning process--used by faculty of some courses in the health field in Brazil: Odontology, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Psychology, Nutrition, Social Work and Veterinary Medicine. The sample was made up by 29 faculties enrolled in a didactic subject course at graduate programs. They answered a questionnaire with semi-open questions. The answers obtained point to a "banking" education practice, according to Paulo Freire. This kind of education is characterized by: 1) emphasis on the transmission of information; 2) many hours of education; 3) little integration between courses and 4) lecture classes.

In this study, the authors have as a goal to discuss the care-investigation interface in the caring practice of Nursing in the hospital ambit, starting from their professional experiences. The bases of the discussion is the career/cared being. We surpass care as the object of research and the importance of investigation for the improvement of care quality. Interdisciplinarity is pointed out as one of the possible resources for the construction of integral care and of a therapeutical action that exceeds the biological, in a perspective of co-participation, as well as the need of promoting and stimulating the accomplishment of investigations in the units of hospital care. The meaning of the investigation about care goes beyond its internality, requiring technical competence, ethical compromise and coherence among the different areas of knowledge which involves it. We enlighten the need of overcoming the dichotomies of caring/investigating, researching while caring, and caring while researching. We stress out the importance of creating research groups in Universities; the stimulus to the accomplishment of graduation courses with leave-out time from work; the availability of financial resources; and the incentive to subscribe periodicals and to acquire books.

This study aims at understanding the view about the nursing leadership question, through critical analysis of the literature produced predominantly in Brazil on this theme, from 1930 to 1995, contributing to its "dismythification". From the assumption that nursing is a social practice, and therefore articulated with other health practices, we conducted the investigation under a historical-social approach. Empirical data were obtained from the discourses about the issue or related themes, contained in 14 periodicals, from which 12 were of nursing. Besides them, we used proceedings from nursing events, as well as research and researcher catalogs and 3 theses. We analysed data according to time delimitation, distributed in four historical periods, intending to maintain the similarity of the peculiar discourses of each period, according to the context in these moments. The study demonstrated that the nursing leadership question has been treated, in the profession, in an idealized, mythical and crystalized way, contributing, thus, to the maintenance of the status quo and nursing professional's alienation.

Report of experience in the use of a social-cultural approach during the development of a work done by graduate students of Ribeiräo Preto School of Nursing-USP. As a form of reference for the didactic strategy, it was used the scheme of arch proposed by Charles Maguerez and presented by BORDENAVE, in an attempt to systematize the communication teacher-student talking about "Aspects related to the Undergraduate Teaching Problems".

The authors approaches it in a broad manner and its historic evolution, going through a discussion inside the health care area, until the nursing related questions emerged, establishing relations between them. The questions and the doubts, much more than answers, are the focus of this study, whose main concern is to contribute to nurse's critical thought necessary to the effective practice of the profession.
