Validação da aprendizagem não formal e informal dos técnicos administrativos da Unioeste

Abstract

Informal learning in the workplace has been attested as an effective way of acquiring skills by workers. The validation of this type of learning is a recent field of practice in which the European Union has excelled in developing procedures for the validation of informal learning with the aim of raising professional qualification and employability of workers, as well as increase the capacity of innovation and competitiveness of organizations. However, in public organizations, there is still little research on the validation of informal learning, in addition, some public functions do not require specific professionalization and cause a high turnover of servers, causing the server that has changed sectors to accumulate competences resulting from informal learning, which are not recognized or formally proven, but which have great professional value for the server and for the management of people in the public institution. This scientific work aims to provide subsidies to the public manager for the development and implementation of a validation method for the informal learning of public servants. This is a bibliographical and documentary research, in which it was investigated whether the server occupying the position of Técnico Administrativo of the Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná - Unioeste, can be evaluated in some procedure of validation of informal learning, considering the state and institutional legislation relevant to these servers and in accordance with national and international public policies directed towards Lifelong Learning. It was verified the existence of a Brazilian public policy of validation of informal learning called the Rede Nacional de Certificação Profissional e Formação Inicial e Continuada – Rede Certific, which can be used to legitimize professional competencies of servers and serve as the basis for the development of an Extension Project to be executed in Unioeste. The inclusion of procedures for the validation of informal learning in institutional policies for employee qualification, becomes a strategy for increasing efficiency and quality in services provided to society.
