Educação para a sustentabilidade: a construção de caminhos no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS)

Los Institutos Federales de Educacion, Ciencia y Tecnologia (IFs) fueron recientemente creados en Brasil con el objetivo de suplir la demanda de mano de obra tecnica calificada, que ha aumentado en el pais, y agregar calidad a los curriculos, integrando conocimientos basicos y tecnicos, para preparar los estudiantes para la vida, calificarlos para la ciudadania. Estas instituciones muestran en sus documentos que tienen una preocupacion con cuestiones relacionadas a la sostenibilidad. Algunos estudios han apuntado la importancia de la insercion de debates sobre la educacion para la sostenibilidad en las instituciones de ensenanza y tambien en los cursos del area de gestion. Por lo tanto, el presente estudio tiene por objetivo identificar como cuestiones relacionadas a este tema estan siendo tratadas en los IFs brasilenos, especialmente en el Instituto Federal de Educacion, Ciencia y Tecnologia del Rio Grande del Sur (IFRS). Para tanto, fue realizada una investigacion de caracter exploratorio, delineado por un alcance descriptivo, para verificar como el tema sostenibilidad ha sido abordado en los cursos del IFRS relacionados al eje tecnologico Gestion y Negocios, presentes en el Catalogo Nacional de Cursos Superiores en Tecnologia y en el Catalogo Nacional de Cursos Tecnicos del Ministerio de la Educacion. Se observo que, a pesar del IFRS presentar en sus documentos una preocupacion con temas relacionados a la sostenibilidad, no hay una politica institucional que integre las acciones relativas a la sostenibilidad en la institucion como uno todo, siendo que la insercion del tema en los cursos ocurre de formas diversas, por iniciativa de determinados profesores. Pero, algunos proyectos que buscan la insercion de la sostenibilidad en cursos del area de gestion y negocios ya pueden ser verificados, como los que estan siendo desarrollados en los Campus Canoas y Osorio, que tambien son presentados en el presente trabajo. Es importante destacar que los proyectos se encuentran en fase de implementacion, lo que todavia no posibilita una evaluacion con relacion a sus resultados. Sin embargo, estos pueden servir de base para acciones a nivel institucional y de modelo para otros niveles e instituciones de ensenanza.The Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (IF) were recently created in Brazil with the purpose of supplying the demand for qualified technical manpower, which has increased in the country. They aggregate quality to the curriculum, integrating technical and basic knowledge and aiming at preparing students for life and qualify them for citizenship. Such institutions demonstrate a concern with sustainability issues in their documents. Some studies have pointed out the importance of the inclusion of discussions on education for sustainability in educational institutions and also in management courses. Thus, the present study aims at identifying how the issues related to this topic are being addressed in Brazilian Federal Institutes, especially at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS). In order to accomplish this, an exploratory survey was conducted, outlined by a descriptive scope, to verify how the sustainability issue has been addressed in the IFRS technological courses in Business and Management axis, according to the National Catalogue of Technological Higher Education Courses and to the Ministry of Educations National Catalogue of Technical Courses. It was observed that, despite IFRS shows a concern with the sustainability issues in their documents, there is not an institutional policy that integrates the actions related to sustainability in the institution at a whole, whereas the inclusion of the theme in the courses occurs in different ways, by the initiative of some teachers. However, some projects that aim at inserting sustainability in Business and Management courses can be verified already, such as the projects being developed at Campus Canoas e Osorio - which are also presented in this study. It is important to emphasize that the projects are under implementation, which still does not allow an evaluation regarding their results. Nevertheless, these could provide the basis for actions in an institutional level and a pattern for other levels and educational institutions.

Inovação e parcerias estratégicas: o caso da fazenda Redomão-RS

A inovacao em processos, produtos e servicos esta sendo considerada, nos ultimos anos, uma das forcas propulsoras da competitividade, tanto nas organizacoes quanto nos paises, quer seja no ingresso em novos mercados, quer seja na permanencia sustentada nos mercados existentes. Seguindo essa perspectiva, o presente estudo objetiva apresentar a inovacao baseada em parcerias estrategicas. Para ilustrar, toma-se como caso a atividade bubalina da Fazenda Redomao, em Guaiba, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Pode-se observar que a estrategia fundamentada em parcerias possibilitou que o caso estudado tivesse acesso a informacoes, conhecimentos e capacidades para inovar, tornando-se um centro de referencia para a atividade e proporcionando a ampliacao dessa rede de parcerias ao longo dos anos.
