RESUMO

The global world requires much more prepared people. In this sense, education is being rethinked regarding to its methods and tools. In the industrial environment, this new level of knowledge is even more required. Factories need better prepared workers to face an increasing competition. In this work, the development of an expert system for industrial workers training is discussed. Jonas (Borges and Baranauskas, 1996, 1997 A, 1997B) is part of Enxuto environment (Borges et al., 1995; Baranauskas et al., 1997), which aims to help shopfloor workers to learn manufacturing concepts using a production line modeling and simulation process. Jonas system is inspired on the character Jonah, from "The Goal A Process of Ongoing Improvement" book (Goldratt and Cox, 1994). Jonah is a counselor who suggest industrial workers how to solve problems by themselves. In this way, the system intends to be a learning tool supported by the constructionist paradigm (Valente, 1993A). Jonas is an expert system, but uses its "intelligence" in a different way. It does not mimic a human, but intends to increase the user s potential. The system explores the computational media qualities, according to tire intelligence augmentation paradigm (Fischer, 1995). The purpose of the work is to build a system with an interface, which can be used by people with little computer knowledge, in an independent way. The system has a direct manipulation interface that makes it closer to the user mental models, according to the action theory. In order to build an interface with this characteristics, the process of Jonas design was user centered (Norman, 1986; Norman and Draper, 1986). This work describes the system design process and discuss its options, the implementation environments and the development methodology. The resulting prototype is presented, as well as continuity project proposals.
