What is not assessed in continuous training programs in companies? Two case-studies in Portugal
The referential systems we share, lead us to endorse the tradition of activity ergonomics, namely for the way as it has been articulated with the design of continuous professional training programs, with the purpose of serving both as a resource for working situations intervention as for the enrichment of its analysis. To assess, in this tradition, means a concern with the comprehension of questions, meanings and concrete situations related with the real working activity of workers and with the contribution of the assessment process to these same situations. It was with this theoretical framework that we advanced in the pursuit of understanding what is assessed in continuous training programs, analysing the practices developed in two Portuguese companies. What we ended up verifying on the analysis of these two case-studies was a consensus on considering the training assessment as essentially oriented towards a fulfilment of the procedure foreseen by the norm. Pronenessly, the training assessment seems more like an answer to an externally imposed normative requisite than a methodology attentive to the specificity of the action, of the trainees, of the knowledge at stake and of the development of working activities.
