CORPORATE PEDAGOGY: THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE PEDAGOGUE TO COOPERATIVE EDUCATION AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

This article examines the contributions and limits of pedagogues' work in corporate education and human development within organizations. It assumes that education is a social practice that extends beyond schools and takes place in different learning situations, including the workplace. The guiding question concerns how pedagogical knowledge can support the planning, mediation, and evaluation of educational initiatives in business settings. This qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive bibliographic study draws on books, scholarly articles, and a normative document addressing pedagogy, education outside schools, organizational learning, and people management. The thematic analysis indicates that the distinctive contribution of pedagogues lies in educational intentionality, the identification of learning needs, the design of educational pathways, and the assessment of learning processes. It also identifies tensions between organizational productivity goals and workers' comprehensive development, calling for a critical, ethical, and interdisciplinary approach. The study concludes that business pedagogy is a possible field of educational practice whose effectiveness depends on institutional conditions, dialogue with other professional areas, and recognition of workers as active subjects of learning.
