Política afirmativa de cotas em um curso de Enfermagem: análise à luz da Perspectiva dos Funcionamentos

Abstract

The present study is aimed to discuss historical aspects and evaluatethe reality ofquota students in the Nursing course at the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ), using Maria Clara Dias' Functionings Approach (PdF), as a criterion of Justice. It is expected that this work will achieve the objectives of identifying which Functionings are related to the university experience of the quota student, taking into account his admission and permanence in the institution; analyze the achievement points - or not - of this set of identified Functionings; besides verifying the real possibilities of reaching this goal of achievement. Qualitative research was divided into three sections that addressed topics that will make us understand how the student sees himself in this context, how he develops personally and professionally and what kind of transformation higher education causes in his life. The interviews were conducted with approximately 13 (thirteen) quota students from the Nursing course at UERJ, selected through the Snowball method. The meetings took place in a virtual environment - due to the COVID -19 pandemic - and followeda previously established script. The answers were evaluated according to the theory of justice and through the method of content analysis by Bardin (2016).
