O Ensino de Conceitos de Gestão da Qualidade com a Utilização de Filmes como Possibilidade de Aprendizagem Significativa

Abstract

The present work aimed to verify the possibility of meaningful learning in the teaching of quality management concepts through the use of films as a learning resource. For this purpose, the research was carried out with two classes from the 2nd period of the Subsequent Technical Course in Administration at IFAC, Campus Rio Branco. This work was structured in four articles that enable the reader to understand the process of construction, application and analysis of a potentially significant teaching unit for Quality Management concepts. Thus, the first article presents the perception of professors working in the technical course of Administration at IFAC about the use of films in teaching, through a bibliographic review on the list of films and teaching and through data obtained through a questionnaire applied to teachers. The second article presents the process of planning and building a UEPS, based on the steps presented by Moreira (2011), built from situations related to the possibilities of approaching the possible quality concepts. For this construction, bibliographic research on meaningful learning and UEPS was carried out, and the elaboration of potentially significant activities according to Moreira (2011b). The third article reported how UEPS was applied in practice, observing the involvement and interest in the proposed theme, especially in activities resulting from the exhibition of films. In the last article, an analysis was made of the results obtained from the execution of the UEPS with students, by observing the occurrence of significant learning signs. The data obtained through the activities proposed and observations carried out by the researcher indicated that it is a proposal for a viable teaching unit. The use of films and active methodologies produced evidence of significant learning, mainly because it presents possibilities for active participation through questions and reflections from their experiences, contributing to the formation of a critical and participative citizen. As a result, an educational product was produced entitled “Potentially Significant Teaching Unit for teaching quality approaches with the use of films” to contribute to teachers who wish to use films in their teaching practice, as well as to know activities that can provide the meaningful learning.
