Playing-didactic sequence for training in the food industry the learning of cassava compote production

Abstract

Training is an effective method to expand the skills and knowledge of employees, and is also essential in the food industry, as it ensures the correct training regarding food sanitary quality, good hygiene practices, food handling and correct operation of the activity. In this bias, it is possible to implement a set of didactic tools to assist in the qualification of employees. These alternative methodologies can be used in different sectors and to aid in the learning of different processes, such as the steps involved in the processing of a food product. Therefore, the present work aimed to approach and develop playful-didactic strategies that can be used in the training of employees in the food industry regarding the production of cassava compote. To this end, six alternative tools were developed, which are: flowchart, video, folder, comic book, string and parody. All tools were developed by the team via digital platforms, taking into account the particular characteristics of each methodology. Thus, the use of resources based on dynamic and multidirectional learning can contribute more effectively to the training of employees, as they are more attractive to individuals than traditional methodologies. In view of this facilitating potential, it is proposed that the presentation of materials be done in a practical and coordinated order that allows employees to grasp the concepts from practices that allow integration between those involved. Therefore, playful strategies are potent tools that can be applied in the food industry as a way of helping the process of production orientation based on training.
