This paper discusses how common sense knowledge can be used by teachers for planning Learning Activities on health care. Using common sense statements which were automatically collected, we are developing software that can be used to support the teaching and learning process, in a more contextualized form. When teachers consider the knowledge that learners already have, taking into account their common sense knowledge, they can devote their attention to correcting misconceptions, covering ignored topics and avoiding the obvious. Also teachers can consider the common sense knowledge from a group of interest, preparing learners to interact with this group by calling their attention to topics which might be discussed with the group. Through the experiment described here, we demonstrate that common sense can be useful to support the nursing education process, helping teachers to develop learning activities on the health care domain.
