Recibido 27 de julio de 2010 • Aceptado 31 de agosto de 2010 • Corregido 25 de noviembre de 2010  En el siglo XXI crece el interés por elevar la calidad de los sistemas educativos, lo que plantea la urgencia de profesionalizar el rol del docente, mientras se hace patente la necesidad de una superación apoyada en la autogestión del aprendizaje, por lo que se requiere que estas actividades constituyan modelos de la práctica pedagógica. Partiendo de los presupuestos que enfatizan el cambio hacia acciones de superación por consenso y no directivas, como generalmente se ha hecho, y desde el enfoque histórico cultural, es que se introduce un visón de la superación profesional del enfermero, el cual trasciende la trasmisión de conocimientos, hacia un desarrollo de sus necesidades educativas diagnosticadas.
