O uso da aprendizagem baseada em projetos e cultura maker em um curso técnico em segurança do trabalho

Abstract

The aim of the research was to analyze the development of project-based learning in a technical course in occupational safety, using digital technologies and maker culture. The research methodology was qualitative, of the intervention type. The students were divided into teams to explore and get to know locations, using the Google Earth platform, to identify issues related to occupational safety and health. After analyzing the context, the students defined the problem observed, which guided the project developed, outlining an action plan to create a prototype, using the maker culture. Several techniques were used to collect the data: observation, documentary analysis of the Trello records and a focus group to evaluate the process. For data analysis, the discursive textual analysis approach was used and, by crossing this with the theoretical framework, three thematic axes of analysis were created: collaborative learning, contextualized learning, and the creation of maker solutions, providing students with new learning experiences and the construction of an itinerary that could develop creativity, a collaborative attitude and innovation, demonstrating the importance of this protagonism in relation to their development.
