Description
The aim of this research was to contribute to developmento of guidelines for training people within business context for BIM implementation. This objective was based on the premise that continuit of BIM implementation is related to people’s competence to deal with technologies and processes. Tuthermore, given the scenario of constant and rapid changes, it was identified that it was necessary to create an environment of continuous learning.The mixed research method was used as a methodological strategy, whereby action research was conducted as the main method and document research and questionnaire as complementary methods. The three methods interacted in four cycles, allowing the research problem to mature and inducing results from action research. The first cycle began with documentary research that interacted with the first phase of action research. The second cycle was the first phase of action research, with basic learning of BIM and partial application to a real project, whose completion was not achieved by the team. The third cycle was the second phase of action research in the same company, with the completion of a second real project. The fourth cycle included a questionnaire to explore the existence of a correlation between people's training and interruption or discontinuity in the BIM implementation. The questionnaire was the result of the lack of literature on the issue of BIM discontinuity, which was identified in the action research. In this last cycle, the evaluation of the results of the action research was also concluded through a focus group with the team of the company participating in the research.
The collected data were analyzed using the main method of action research supported by the results and discussions of complementary methods of documentary research and the questionnaire. In the documentary research, based on content analysis, it was observed that the collaborative learning strategy allowed a micro company to implement BIM over a five-year period. The result of the questionnaire indicated that there is a correlation between people's training and discontinuity of BIM implementation. Finally, in the action research, through the analysis of activity systems, it was possible to understand how the collaborative learning strategy in the business environment can lead to the appropriation of knowledge, autonomy gain and the consequent continuity of the BIM implementation.
