Boas práticas de fabricação (BPF) no abate e processamento de carne suína: análise da aplicação de diferentes estratégias de ensino – aprendizagem.

Abstract

The educational work does not involve only the transmission of the knowledge, but the pedagogic and political competence, where learning ove rlaps teaching and the student is the learning agent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reflexes of the application of different teaching methodologies and educational games in the appropriation of the knowledge in relation to the contents: Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOP), worked in the Agricultural Technical Course through swine slaughtering practical classes, carried at the Federal Technological University of Paraná (UTFPR). The evaluation instrument was a multiple choice questionnaire, applied in classroom at four different moments: a) Diagnosis; b) intervention I (traditional theoretical and practical lessons); c) intervention II (“innovative” slaughtering, with GMP); d) intervention III (educational game application). Along the development of the intervention processes the pupils were getting conscious about cares within slaughtering. The results of the microbiological and physical-chemical analysis of meat, hands of the manipulators and instruments surfaces sampled during the traditional (T1) and the correct mode of slaughtering (T2) were compared. The first one (T1) proved to be inadequate and does not attend the minimum requirements for safety assurance. The significance of the differences in the numbers of correct answers between the different moments of application of the questionnaire were evaluated by t-Students test, as paired data, and presented as boxplot graphs, in lines and index numbers. A significant at 5% (p<0,05) increment was observed at all stages of the educative process. The percentage of correct answers at the third evaluation was more than 70% as compared to the diagnosis moment, confirming that all the stages had been important in the knowledge achievement ; especially through real data evidenced by the pupils.
