Pedagogy of learning: a praxis of industrial safety

Abstract

This research analyzes the teaching-learning process of the industrial safety training of the Basic Platform Safety Course, developed by the training company Sampling Planning and Industrial Safety Advisory. The course is compulsory for offshore activities in the oil and gas industry in Brazil. When dealing with safety at sea, it is important to start from the premise that navigation imposes an associated danger, derived from the fact that it develops in an environment not conducive to human life, therefore, this theme is of extreme importance. The objective of the research is to evaluate how the learning pedagogy is related to the safety praxis in the offshore work environment. The type of research was based on a case study developed through observation and on-site interview questionnaires. As a data collection instrument, we used document analysis from theoretical tests, practical exercise sheets, grade maps, frequency controls and evaluation questionnaire, provided from the institution. Consolidated data demonstrate that the selected target audience knows and applies industrial safety standards and that the concepts acquired during the course are important in preventing accident risks. It is concluded that education is characterized by being an instrument of theoretical-practical association through information that can intervene in the reality and promote changes in everyday attitudes, leading to new practices for the construction of citizenship.
