Abstract

This study aims at reporting the experience of nursing undergraduate students who are part of the Programa de Educação Tutorial (Program of Tutorial Education), regarding the planning and development of mini-courses as extracurricular activities. It sought to describe how these activities are elaborated in a public university, and had as its theoretical and methodological framework the Theory of Meaningful Learning, proposed by David Ausubel. This theory highlights two conditions for learning to be meaningful. The first is related to the integration between the new knowledge and the previous knowledge of the student, and the second relates to the need for the content being presented to be logical and psychologically meaningful. Thus, there are many reasons that lead students to seek extracurricular activities, such as mini-courses, and this requires them to have autonomy and responsibility, which, therefore, also has a connection to the search for new and coherent knowledge.
