Abstract
Objective: To report an educational practice based on problematization from the Charles Maguerez Arch. Experience report: a descriptive, experience report study involving three master's students and ten students from a multiprofessional residency in mental health developed in a Psychosocial Care Center, conducted from May to June 2018. Initially, the residents were explained the strategy Maguerez Arch and then the residents split into two groups with five members each to begin the five stages of the Arch. Residents knew in the application of the Maguerez Arch an important strategy in the formative process. The use of this active method of teaching promoted the stimulation, the autonomy of residents and the responsibility for the construction of collective knowledge. Discussion: the activity was collectively evaluated by participants, emphasizing the importance of using active methodologies to problematize a reality experienced by students and build possibilities for the transformation of reality. Final considerations: The problematizing method of the Maguerez Arch enables a network to be created between the acquired knowledge, thus favoring a directed and articulated learning, composed of meanings and mediated by new concepts, by bringing the student closer to the study of a new situation.
