SENAI methodology for vocational training based on competence: a case study on the implementation of this method in the regional department of SENAI Santa Catarina

Abstract

This article aims to identify which strategies, resulting from the implementation of the SENAI training methodology based on competences, contribute significantly to the process of teaching and learning for students at SENAI/SC. In this sense, the main strategies employed by the institution, the results achieved from the implementation of the most relevant strategies, and contributions to teaching and learning were identified. The study consists of a survey whose approach is descriptive and qualitative in the form of case study. It was found that the institution takes actions to implement the methodology since 1999 and that many corporate programs are a result of this implementation, such as: Connection Program, Program on Education in Movement, and Senai Academy. Also it is noteworthy that a significant number of events and trainings for employees are offered by the institution. Therefore, it is concluded that the implementation of the SENAI training methodology based on competences involves the development of actions that aimed at creating a culture focused on developing competences for the entire institution.
