This experience report discusses the use of seminars as a teaching strategy in the discipline of Nursing Administration II, in the Undergraduate Nursing Program at the University of São Paulo. For planning, development and evaluation of the seminars, we adopted a dialectic methodology that conceives of the construction of knowledge in three stages: development of themes, analysis and synthesis, in which the task of teachers is to mediate the phases of mobilization, construction and knowledge synthesis. Key assumptions for adult education were met: motivation for learning, analysis of their experiences and the possibility of autonomy in the construction of knowledge through questioning, the use of creativity and proposal of solutions, enabling constructive, significant situations, and competency development. The discussion of themes proposed possible approximation of reality through reflection and discussion of how services are included in the health system.
