Objective: to assess the reaction and behavior of nurses after training on the use of educational tool to promote heathy nutrition to children. Method: pilot assessment study, of descriptive and quantitative approach, carried out in 2014 with eight nurses from the rural area of Ceará, Brazil, by observing a training workshop on the use of the serial album "Alimentos regionais: promovendo a segurança alimentar na promoção da alimentação infantil saudável" [Regional food: promoting food safety through child healthy feeding]. Results: the analysis of the reaction of nurses to the workshop showed that all of them (100%) were satisfied with the training. In behavior analysis, more than a half of the nurses have achieved the expected performance when implementing the illustrations of the serial album, seven of them (87.5%) being considered able to use the serial album. Conclusion: the training was considered effective, as all the participant nurses were satisfied and most of them considered capable of using the educational tool in promoting child healthy feeding.

“…Mas esse foco no olhar das competências limitado às experiências passadas e ao momento presente não é exclusividade dos dirigentes sindicais. Ferreira et al (2015) argumentam que o mapeamento de necessidades de capacitação com frequência é voltado para demandas tradicionais, com baixa identificação de competências direcionadas a cenários futuros.…”

“…Além disso, o levantamento de competências necessárias objetiva também contribuir para um desempenho melhor dos profissionais (Ferreira, Abbad, & Mourão, 2015), o que, no caso dos dirigentes sindicais, pode gerar efeitos para a organização e a mobilização das categorias representadas. Diante do exposto, o objetivo geral do estudo foi discutir o papel dos dirigentes sindicais a partir das competências essenciais para o exercício dessa atividade profissional.…”

ResumoMapear competências profissionais tem se tornado uma temática cada vez mais relevante. Este estudo objetivou discutir o papel dos dirigentes sindicais a partir do mapeamento das competências essenciais para o exercício dessa atividade profissional. O método incluiu análise documental, além de 12 entrevistas em profundidade com dirigentes sindicais, trabalhadores e empresários filiados a sindicatos. Para aumentar a robustez, a análise de conteúdo categorial foi feita por três juízes independentes com adoção de dois critérios para a inclusão de competências: consistência (dois terços de concordância entre juízes); e relevância (citação mínima por três entrevistados). Os resultados apontam 26 competências consideradas centrais para dirigentes sindicais, com destaque para: interação com a categoria, conhecimento do negócio sindical e atitude voltada para o aperfeiçoamento contínuo. Destaca-se a falta de alinhamento dos discursos com as reflexões recentes acerca do sindicalismo, o que pode comprometer uma atuação mais eficaz dos sindicatos nas relações de trabalho. Mapping of main competencies required for union leadership activitiesAbstract Knowing the competencies required of professionals has become an increasingly relevant topic. This study aimed to discuss the role of union leaders based on the mapping of essential competencies for these professionals. The method included document analysis, in addition to12 in depth interviews with union leaders and union-affiliated workers and business people. To increase robustness, categorical content analysis was done by three independent experts. Two criteria were adopted for the inclusion of competencies: consistency (agreement of at least two thirds of the judges); and relevance (citation by at least three interviewees). The results point to 26 competencies considered essential for union leaders, with emphasis on: interaction with the category represented, understanding of union business, and attitude towards continuous improvement. It is worth noting the discourses' lack of alignment with recent reflections on trade unionism, which may compromise more effective action by unions in labor relations.

“…attention when it comes to its bibliometrics characteristics. In LNA field is no different: recent studies have showed that literature reviews, especially those based on bibliometric data are virtually nonexistent (Aguinis & Kraiger, 2009;Ferreira, Abbad, & Mourão, 2014;Gould et al, 2004). "Learning needs" refers to skills gaps that workers need to know, understand, acquire, and apply for their performance to be effective in the organizational context, given the mission and organizational strategy.…”

“…This competency gap can be remedied through formal or informal learning actions in the workplace. On the other hand, learning needs assessment (LNA) refers to a systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and reporting data and results about the internal and external factors that imply changes and challenges for the organization and individuals, which skills the worker must learn, who these workers are, and when and how they will learn (Ferreira, Abbad, & Mourão, 2014).…”

The aim of this study was to describe and discuss the scientific production on Learning Needs Assessment at work (LNA) in the last five decades (1970 – 2019) through a bibliometric study. Bibliometric and longitudinal reviews on LNA are virtually nonexistent. Therefore, little is known about how LNA knowledge was in the past, is in the present and can be in the future. A survey of scientific articles was conducted in eight globally indexed databases between 2007 and 2019. Only blind review peer journals were utilized. After the application of sample selection criteria, 282 articles were considered valid for analysis. The three quantitative analysis dimensions were demographical, methodological and theoretical, and they were measured by twenty categorical and descriptive variables. In sum, results show that there is a substantial increment in the number of papers on LNA published in the last decade around the world, especially in Africa. Methodologically, it can be said that the studies have made important advances, mainly when it comes to learning needs processes and measures improvements, but there is still an extensive research agenda. On the other hand, it seems that the LNA still have made little conceptual progress since the 1960s. The predominant use of the term “training needs” to refer to skills gaps at work needs to be discussed and reviewed. In the near future, studies need to further investigate innovative theories and methods on LNA, as the application of multilevel modeling, alignment of needs and context/organizational strategy, the use of learning taxonomies, among others.
