Concepções de curricularização da extensão : possíveis contribuições à educação profissional e tecnológica

Abstract

The National Education Plan - PNE foresees the implementation of extension actions in at least 10% (ten percent) of the total student curricular workload, initiating a national movement of extension curricularization. From this, this work seeks to understand how this curricularization process has been proposed and implemented in a Campus of the Instituto Federal Farroupilha, based on the concepts of extension, integral formation and integrated curriculum contained in its formal documents and in the analysis of projects of extension proposed in this institution, aiming to propose reflections on how the extension curricularization can contribute to the integral formation in professional and technological education. The research is linked to the line of Organizations and Memories of Pedagogical Spaces at EPT, of the Masters in Professional and Technological Education, offered on a national network at the IFFar pole - Campus Jaguari. Qualitative in nature, with the use of Discursive Textual Analysis in extension projects and in interviews with coordinators/coordinators of these projects, selected on the campus of Frederico Westphalen/RS. In the analysis carried out, it was evident that the extension curricularization process, although it was initially foreseen in the PNE 2010, is still incipient and needs an institutional commitment to dialogue, problematize and collectively build actions that converge to the realization of an integrated curriculum. and, consequently, a human formation. The extension curricularization process, as well as the materialization of the integrated curriculum, are processes that are under construction, collectively and gradually, and both have mutual contributions, as they evidence and are based on common precepts of dialogicity, interdisciplinarity, inseparability, innovation , social technology and social transformation. As a fundamental point for the implementation and materialization of this training there is the questioning and permanent and continuous training on extension, integrated curriculum and extension curricularization. In order to contribute to this training process, a website was built and publicized to the academic and external communities, systematizing and sharing reflections on the research developed.
