As trocas informacionais e a produção de conhecimento: um estudo sobre as interações no ambiente das ONG's

Abstract

The present dissertation investigates the possibility of internalization of knowledge for the social transformation by the established informational exchange in the scope of the projects developed by Non-governmental organizations. The research was fulfilled from a study of case in the Projeto Maternidade Saudável, developed in the north zone of Rio de Janeiro City, with the purpose to guide adolescents and young people on the care with pregnancy and the just-been born one, beyond making possible the understanding and acceptance of the lived reality. It was searched to understand the factors that had contributed for a better assimilation of shared knowledge between the educators and the participants of the project, taking as a presupposition a social approach of the information, in which the informational element is not perceived as an apparatus of automatic transmission of new knowledge, but as a possibility of sense, that is concretized by the social interactions. The results of the research had demonstrated that besides aspects related to the individual other basic factors exist, namely: the social insertion; the access to the varied sources of information; and the capacity of connecting past, present and future.
