This work, resulting from archival research and field, funded by the qualitative research approach, aims to identify and analyze the methodology proposed by skills training conducted by SENAI-PA, given their specific circumstances and objectives underlying ideologies, and their political dimension, since this organization makes such a proposal as an alternative to raising the level of training and qualification, training creative people and entrepreneurs to meet the demands of the industry. The investigation started from an exploratory research and theoretical literature review on the subject, allowing the understanding of the subject matter, and support the definition of research problem. We conducted the study on the establishment in question from the information contained in your web site, and research works dealing with the vocational training offered by this institution. In carrying out this investigation was first made a study of theoretical frameworks, especially the pedagogical theories that have guided the development of pedagogical practice in the Brazilian educational context, but also the educational and economic theories that have grounded the pedagogical practice of professional education. In light of these references, and procedures based on the content analysis, we examined data from the following topics: objectives, evaluation materials, methods and teaching techniques, the theory and practice, form and content, also based on the categories of analysis obtained from data collected: meaningful learning, effective teaching practice, training for work and citizenship. The research also identified utilitarianism in education, which manifested itself in the course of teaching practice through the dichotomous relationship between theory and practice, characterizing in this way, the proposed methodology of teaching this institution. We found that the current teaching methodology based on teaching skills, constitutes the perfection of old methodology, since both are grounded in conductivity, Pragmatism, Functionalism, and Constructivism. This improvement is linked to prior research skills to be acquired by the worker, the characterization of the skills profile of courses required by the market, the close relation of the constituent elements of teaching practice - content, methods and techniques of teaching and assessment of learning - the dictates of the marketplace. We have also shown that this improvement promotes the continuity of training guided by the precepts and demands of the market, which characterizes the development of vocational training for work and citizenship.
