Tecnologias convencionais e não convencionais: análise de práticas organizacionais do Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa Darci Barbosa

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to understand the organizational processes of the Darci Barbosa Teaching and Research Institute (IEP-MG) aimed at generating, systematizing and sharing knowledge, characterizing its main attributes according to parameters of conventional or nonconventional technology. The object is of great relevance as it is a teaching and research institute aimed at in-depth studies on people with disabilities, their support network and their social inclusion. To gather empirical evidence, in-depth interviews were carried out with members of the organization and documentary research was carried out. It is concluded that the organizational processes of IEP-MG express parameters, in a more dense way, of conventional technology – while maintaining the focus on collective and democratic learning essential for organizations whose beneficiaries are people in situations of social vulnerability and, often economical. And, in cases where these processes express foundations of non-conventional technology, they are close to social technology (and not solidary technoscience). This study addresses objectives 4, 9, 10 and 16 of the UN Agenda 2030.
