SUMMARY:

“Health education is an important tool to promote self-care and strengthen autonomy, stimulating critical thinking in health decision-making and ways of leading life. Especially in relation to oral health, education is a powerful ally in the fight against dental caries in the child population, which is still a high prevalence problem today. This dissertation comprised two studies: a scoping review and a qualitative investigation. The scoping review aimed to map the pedagogical methods used in oral health promotion among children. Conducted according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, the review included studies that described educational approaches aimed at children aged 6 to 12 years, including applied pedagogical methods and models. The searches were carried out in six main databases and in grey literature, without time or language restrictions. In total, 76 articles were selected, recording a significant number of participants and considerable variation in the size of samples. It was observed that the studies prioritized the effectiveness, impact and innovative potential of educational interventions. Several methods were reported, such as the use of audiovisual resources, printed materials and dental models, implemented through classes, lectures, discussion groups and games. The qualitative research involved students from a public school in the Federal District, aged between 6 and 12 years. The study aimed to evaluate the potential of an oral health pedagogical action from the participants' experiences. For this, the Transcreation Workshops (OsT) were used as a teaching strategy, recognizing them as pedagogical spaces that favor the creation and production of new thinking. Two OSTs were carried out: Between stories, smiles, and encounters and Pieces of thread and traces of paint. During these activities, the students produced their compositions, the recorded dialogues were transcribed, and the artworks were photographed. With the texts in hand, they were analyzed qualitatively using the Otobiographic method, which involves listening to the experiences in the writings. The students shared their understandings of the etiology and control of dental caries, reflected on the educational approaches adopted at school, and demonstrated an emotional connection with the smile. The use of Transcreation Workshops, which has not yet become a widespread practice in dentistry, has proven to be a powerful tool for health education. Listening to lived experiences enabled the production of sensitive and in-depth data about the reality of the studied population. In the mapped literature, a variety of pedagogical methods were identified, bringing with them a multiplicity of ways to perceive and approach the same content. Therefore, there is no intention to establish a single, hegemonic protocol for action in health education ”
