Learning Platforms for Implementing Formative Interventions to Promote the Health and Safety of Workers in Brazil

Area of Science:

• Occupational Health
• Organizational Psychology
• Adult Learning Theory

Background:

• Formative intervention methodologies, such as the Change Laboratory (CL), are increasingly adopted in workplaces.
• The learning process for applying these interventions requires further investigation and can be enhanced by learning platforms.

Purpose of the Study:

• To examine the development of learning and training strategies for implementing formative interventions.
• To draw on the experiences of a research group focused on workers' health.

Main Methods:

• Analysis and interpretation of information from individuals involved in Change Laboratory (CL) formative activities.
• Application of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory and the theory of expansive learning.

Main Results:

• The learning process for implementing formative interventions is gradual, moving from abstract concepts to internalized mediation and concrete application.
• Four key interventionist training strategies were identified: promoting dialogue, creating continuous learning environments, facilitating experimentation, and using the double stimulation method.

Conclusions:

• Effective training for formative interventions requires a multi-faceted approach.
• Strategies should support the gradual internalization and practical application of interventionist concepts for collective learning.
