Learning and Development

Introduction

The complexity and pressure the current context of change has led to organizations have different skills from those required of them in the age of privileged mechanistic organizations. Learning has become one of the key skills for survival and development of modern organizations. Some managerial models present themselves to improve the learning capabilities of organizations. Some address the structural issue, the other behavioural issue. One of these has been receiving special interest, due to its emphasis on the human element in organizations: the model of the Fifth Discipline, Peter M.

The purpose of this research was to identify, explain and analyze, the conceptions of development and learning that are present in the work of professionals working for a organisation, aiming at constructing the type of knowledgeable to transform educational practices. Besides the observation itinerary and class norms to consult the pedagogical project, in norms relation to interviews - to be applied to the teachers, the pedagogical coordinator and the principal were elaborated. The date was organized into categories, connecting the development and learning conceptions presented by the historical cultural theory to the theories, emerging in the data obtained in the analysis. It was verified that the work of those professionals is based, not only in one's development or learning theoretical conception. In fact, it was the coexistence observed of many theories, such as the ones conceived by Piaget. The results show that, the professional approaches are permeated by everyday life, and the invasion of the space for knowledge production is discussed based on actions and reflections related to everyday life.

As a result, this paper describes and analyzes the experience of light of the five disciplines, basic units of the model, giving special emphasis to the thought systemic, and describes and analyzes the experience in light of some variables, and processes key dimensions of the study of organizations that presented themselves within the relevant work.
