Educação corporativa: uma formação ao longo da vida

Abstract

The present study has the objective of investigating how the management of an information technology company located in the city of Recife acts and encourages its collaborators in a continuous education and to investigate the presence of the pedagogue in this company. To do so, we have analyzed books, periodicals, articles, electronic materials, dissertations and thesis. Then we performed a selective, analytical, interpretative and critic reading, where we defined which researched materials would be interesting for the work, and taken into account on the proposed objectives. Therefore, this study is theoretically based on: Education, Work, and Pedagogue Formation; Corporate Education; And Education and Lifelong Learning. We have the theoretical support on some authors such as Castells (2003), Eboli (2004), Marx (1844), Saviani (1994), among others. This study also includes a semi- structured questionnaire applied with the education area of the enterprise. The study showed that the corporate education implanted on the business is not developed linked with a lifelong education. It is noted that the company understands the concept of corporate education, but in practice uses the punctual training methodology to develop competencies and abilities in which the employees should consider for the development of the company. In addition, even though the company does not understand the need of the pedagogue in its institution, it is clear that the professional from another background does not understand the teaching and learning methods and processes that must be committed to the lifelong learning of the subject.
