ANALYSIS OF AN INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE MODEL FOR TRAINING HIGH PERFORMANCE PROFESSIONALS

Abstract

This research presents a proposal for applying concepts of Information Organization, Information Architecture, Informational Spaces, Multimodality, Relevance Theory and Gamification to meet the informational needs of high-performance professionals. The proposition of this research is that an Information Architecture model, supported by Multimodality, can significantly help in the training of high-performance professionals, when associated with the concepts of Information Organization and Gamification. Information Architecture can provide an effective flow of information in informational environments. Multimodality, in turn, contributes to the diversity of semiotic learning objects arranged in informational spaces. As an applied exploratory research methodology, many questionnaires were submitted to students (the proposed model’s users) and to their immediate managers, who evaluated their performance. Evaluations show that the model has been well accepted. Despite the limited sample, the research is representative since it includes several professionals.
