Integração entre a filosofia 5S e a dinâmica do conhecimento para a formação do cidadão produtivo: análise prospectiva da teoria e da prática visando à formação de uma proposta preliminar de ação

Abstract

This M.Sc. Thesis integrates 5S philosophy and the Knowledge Dynamics concepts with the aim of accelerating the formation of a productive citizen. Having the individual in the organization as a start point, it is expected that, if the proposal is practiced in large scale, itshould contribute to changings that are occurring at the national level. In a first instance, data were searched about the states in the world and in Brazil that would justify the efforts for changing of thoughts - development of appropriate senses- through a method: the dynamics of knowledge. Theoretical support was obtained in order to understand the concept of productive citizen, the 5S philosophy and the Dynamics of Knowledge; in addition the fundaments of education in the 21st century were also studied based on the programs established by the ministries of education of the countries with the highest HDI (Human Development Index). A case study was developed in a organization of the Third Sector named Salão do Encontro (Meeting Room). It has been proved, then, that the 5S philosophy and the Dynamics of Knowledge have their main elements present in environments where the leaderships havegood formal and familiar education, leading them to practice those concepts in a tacit way, even when they have not been formally learned. A preliminary proposal was then elaborated for integration and diffusion of the concepts. The proposal was submitted to leaders of several organizational hierarchical levels of the first, second and third sectors, which have approved it after suggestions for improvement. The proposal is believed to be ready to be tried in these three types of organizations and that, after successive corrections, it can be of help in the mobilization of the human potential to improve life conditions of the Brazilian people. It is worth to note that the proposal represents only an attempt to improve, simplify and elucidate what has been already practiced. Its originality relies on the integration of the form and content. The proposal assume educational practices that could allow the citizen to be a moreconscious artificer in the search for knowledge and creation of solution for local problems, as it is preconized by the movement for local and sustainable development proposed by the United Nations.
