A extensão universitária: olhares, perspectivas e possibilidades

Abstract

This research has as theme the university extension, glances, perspectives and possibilities in the Course of Pedagogy, from the Federal University of Fronteira Sul (UFFS), located on Chapecó campus, state of Santa Catarina. The study comes from indagations, experiences and practices of external and internal insertion that pervade the academic commitments implemented by the course in the first decade of its existence as well as the university. As general objective, we want to dialogue about the circularity/materiality of the university extension in the course of Pedagogy in its first decade in the UFFS, 2010-2019, in order to highlight the formative perspectives derived from them. Methodologically, this is a documental research, with bibliographic support, whose sources were the Curricular Pedagogical Project, versions 2010 and 2019, the catalogs and register system of the institutional extension, its projects and its descriptive reports. As result of this study, we highlight that the university extension in the course reveals potentialities, weakenesses, typical of a university under construction. Its proposals and executions come from individual actions, from small groups, sometimes articulated to curricular components, sometimes not; they meet specific demands of the external and internal community, they are based on challenges, necessities, demands of the course, of the institution, of schools, educational networks, among others. The formative movement due to the extension reveals glances, perspectives and possibilities, marked in the document of (re)view of the Curricular Pedagogical Project of the course, by the demands of the curricularization expressed in the National Policy on Extension, in the interface with the researchers of the area, showing the university extension as two-way street that strenghtens in the interlocution with the external and internal community, considering the sensivities that are constantly demanded.
