Objetivo: O estudo buscou descrever a experiência da utilização da metodologia da problematização no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de acadêmicas inseridas em um projeto de extensão. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, realizada com acadêmicas do curso de Terapia Ocupacional. Para a coletas dos dados, foram realizados grupos focais, uma vez por semana, por um período de 12 semanas, com duração média de 1hora. Para a condução dos grupos, as docentes-mediadoras seguiam a proposta do Esquema do Arco de Charles Maguerez. Resultados: A metodologia adotada permitiu, a partir de situações reais, identificar situações-problemas relacionadas ao processo de inclusão digital, em que destaca os níveis diversificados de conhecimentos e a insegurança para desempenhar o papel de monitora.

Objective: The study aimed to describe the experience of using the methodology of the problem-solving in the teachinglearning process of academics inserted in an extension project. Methods: This is a qualitative research, carried out with students of the Occupational Therapy course who conducted a digital inclusion workshop. The data collection was performed through the analysis of the reflexive field diaries that were constructed and the transcripts of the focus groups held after the digital inclusion extension project for adults and older people meetings. For the conduction of the groups, the mediator-teachers followed the proposal of the Scheme of the Arch of Charles Maguerez. Results: The adopted methodology allowed, from the observation of reality, to identify situations-problems related to the development of the extensionist action, which were listed and theorized, allowing the planning and selection of strategies to solve them. This allowed to broaden the knowledge of the subject worked on the extension and to favor the personal maturation, as well as to promote the development of competences for the professional pratice. Conclusion: The problematization methodology proved to be an interesting strategy for the academic maturity and the development of professional competences, since it made the students active and critical throughout the development process of the Arch.Keywords:  Learning; Methodology; Occupational Therapy; Teaching.

For those who are connected digitally, the digital health revolution is an enormous opportunity for patient empowerment. However, half the world’s population are not online. Those who are least likely to be online are exactly those who experience the greatest burden of ill health. As information about health and illness is increasingly (and often exclusively) available in digital form, we face a new public health challenge – digital health inequality. Libraries are ideally placed to reach these population groups who may be hardest to reach. The IFLA (2017) Statement on Digital Literacy recognises that with libraries’ mission to help all their users access and apply the information they need for personal and community development, digital inclusion is an important part of the practice of librarianship. Successful interventions to improve digital inclusion involve targeting connecting, and transforming lives. This article focuses on initiatives to combat digital exclusion in England and Wales.
