GUIA PROFISSIONAL DIGITAL: MAPAS CONCEITUAIS DAS PROFISSÕES ESCOLHIDAS PELOS ALUNOS DO ENSINO MÉDIO

This report aims to present the experience lived in the project "The School Pedro II in the Professional Decision of Secondary Education Students" aimed to promote professional student choice for the preparation of secondary to higher education, technical or job market with the integration of the areas of knowledge and ICT. Starting questions: How to awaken in students a vocation for academic life? How establish the connection between what students want to be in the future and to choose when isn’t a university course? How to take into account the factors that interfere in making professional student decision to build his own knowledge about your chosen profession? The experiment was performed at the State School of Elementary and Secondary Education D. Pedro II (Belem of Para State/Brazil), based on the view that knowledge must be represented in a format that requires coordination with the different forms of knowledge and the organization and use of technology. The results show that the tasks performed by students for professional choice provided information about themselves and the professional world. The conceptual map has contributed as a mediating tool of the teaching, learning and assessment and favored interest, autonomy and participation.

MOTIVATION AND SATISFACTION IN CONTEXT OF JOB TRAINING IN TOURIST ORGANIZATIONS

This research aims to determine the dimensions of motivation and satisfaction, acquired, through the perception in context of job training, by future technicians (students) in the hospitality and tourism industry, particularly by technical courses in the hotel and restaurant sector. The methodology comprises three distinct stages. First were recovered instruments (questionnaires), already validated by other authors of motivation and satisfaction, which had the intention to replicate studies conducted in other scientific knowledge fields, such as tourism. Those instruments were recovered from the reviewed literature conducted about other themes. On second place the measuring instruments were submitted to a pre-test, or rather, were subject of a pioneer study, in order to verify other assumptions such as semantic errors or see if there was the possibility of some prepared questions to be consider invalidated by poor formulation or interpretation. Finally, were applied in three educational institutions who agreed to cooperate on the research, with the reservation that the interviewed needed a mandatory pre-requirement that consisted in conducting a minimum training in work context (TWC). Then, proceed the statistical analysis to support all the empirical part. The results show that, in general, motivation and satisfaction were present during the period of training in work context. To some people it meant a very important period of personal and professional life, concerning the interactions, emotions and involvement with touristic organizations but also the personal and social relationships.
