A curricularização da extensão nos cursos de administração e gestão pública no IFFar campus SVS

Abstract

This work is part of line 2 – Organization and Memories of Pedagogical Spaces in Professional and Technological Education (EPT), of the Professional Master's Degree in Technological Education, linked to Macroproject 6 – Organization of Pedagogical Spaces in EPT. The research sought to understand how the inclusion of extension curricularization has been implemented in the Administration and Public Management courses at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology Farroupilha – São Vicente do Sul Campus (IFFar – SVS). The implementation of curricularization is determined by the National Education Plan (PNE 2014-2024), goal 12.7, which should be fulfilled by 2024. Its realization occurs through the inclusion, in the curricular matrix of undergraduate courses, of a minimum percentage of 10% of the credits allocated to extension activities. The overall objective of the research was to analyze how the curricularization of extension activities is being implemented in the Administration and Public Management courses at IFFar – SVS, within the context of the guidelines of the National Education Plan 2014-2024, goal 12.7. This is a qualitative research, characterized as a case study. The participants were coordinators and professors from the Administration and Public Management courses who were involved in the process of implementing the curricularization of extension activities. The data collection instrument used was an open and semi-structured questionnaire, whose results were analyzed using Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA). The research allowed us to identify the successes and challenges encountered in the implementation of the curricularization of extension activities in the Administration and Public Management courses at IFFar – SVS, as well as the articulation between teaching and research. The final product, developed in the form of a booklet, was constructed based on the legislation relevant to the topic and the regulations applied at IFFar – SVS, with the aim of contributing to future suggestions for improvements in this process. The research results highlight that participants understand extension as inseparable from teaching and research, recognizing that this tripod promotes a comprehensive human development and reinforces the principles of IFFar. Another element evidenced was the need to create spaces for discussion and training on the theme of curricularizing extension, aiming at improving extension methodologies and practices.
