O perfil profissional do químico frente às novas realidades das organizações industriais

Abstract

Recebido em 19/4/99; aceito em 28/9/00 THE PROFESSIONAL PROFILE OF CHEMISTS AND THE NEW REALITY OF INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS. The objective of this paper is to reflect about the professional profile required of chemists by the chemical industry employing new management practices. This paper includes: a) historical synthesis of the appropriation of chemical knowledge by the industrial sector, b) a discussion of today's industrial organization and a comparison between the professional profile of chemists as expected by the taylorist and fordist standards of production and that expected in the context of flexibilization and globalization of production.

A formação profissional do técnico em química: caracterização das origens e necessidades atuais

“…Na pesquisa realizada no Brasil sobre indústrias do setor de química fina de capital nacional, Mercado Suarez aponta como obstáculos ao desenvolvimento dessas indústrias três fatores principais: a falta de qualificação de pessoal, a capacidade gerencial e a questão de mercado; sendo que o principal obstáculo é em relação à inadequação da formação dos profissionais 16 .…”

Students Building Didactic Experiments as a Tool for Teaching Unit Operations and Process Control for Chemistry Technicians

“…Such contents are often difficult to assimilate in the learning process for most of the secondary students of the technician chemistry course due to the fact that unit operations and their basic principles involved, as well as the control strategies and instrumentation used, are somewhat distant subjects from the daily high school academic life. 4,5 At the same time, these lessons contents are challenges to the teachers for explaining and discussing in class such diverse and complicated processes due to the level of education. 6 New teaching strategies seek to build upon student curriculum progression through skill development, the role of the teacher as a learning guide, active student participation, encouraging self-learning and using smaller groups, allowing for more direct interaction in student-teacher and student-student levels.…”
