IV and V editions of the National Seminar on Occupational Therapy Research: memories registers, futures-present

Abstract

The report presents the last two editions of the National Seminar of Occupational Therapy Research (2016 and 2018), and the discussions and referrals resulting from its conferences, working groups, and plenary sessions. The schedules were similar and dedicated to promoting dialogue with key representatives of research support agencies at the national and state levels, as well as the creation of collective strategies aimed at strengthening the occupational therapy area and its subareas. Both events took place during two days, following the National Meeting of Occupational Therapy Professors, being the IV edition held at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (2016) and the V edition at the Federal University of São Paulo, Baixada Santista Campus (2018). The meetings had 166 and 172 participants, respectively, among professors, researchers, professionals/preceptors, and postgraduate students, promoting a space for the understanding of the productions and research in the different areas of occupational therapy and exchange of experiences and knowledge. Thus, it was possible to encourage shared reflections and elaboration of proposals about postgraduate teaching in occupational therapy, its implication for graduation, and the academic strengthening of the area. The challenge is related to the implementation of proposals that have been recurring and with little effectiveness in the time between editions, demonstrating the need for the professional category to review their forms of organization and accountability in the collective referrals.
