| Summary: | Hospital classes were created to ensure continuity of learning for children and adolescents, making it easier for them to return to the school environment after their recovery. Through sessions of direct observation of teacher-student interactions in the hospital classroom, it was possible to note that the teacher’s most frequent activities were in explanation of assignments and asking the questions of the students, with virtually no occurrences of behaviors towards prioritizing the particularities of each of these activities. With respect to the students, it was possible to note a high rate of academic behavior, regardless of the number of observations and the clinical condition of each student. Finally, a discussion is provided on the teacher’s behavior which, due to an inability or lack of training, proceeded as if in a regular school, without consideration of the differences present in the hospital environment.
Keywords: children in hospital; hospital class; teacher-student interaction.
