Saberes,vivências e práticas: tecendo olhares sobre a extensão universitária no Centro de Artes, Humanidades e Letras da Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia, no período de 2011 a 2015

Abstract

The university extension, a constituent part of the public university, is a dimension of knowledge that sometimes it is still relegated to a marginalized role, principalemente when compared to the survey. Thus, to grasp the dynamics of its implementation means uncovering the causes of marginalization. It takes place from the extension practice, which university is being built. There is no separate extension and political project. The extension has a central role to build bridges between the university and society, in order to provide dialogically gains for both. A micro level, this study was aimed to weave a look at the extension practice at the Arts Center, Humanities and Letters (CAHL), the Federal University of Bahia Reconcavo (UFRB), thus mobilizing more looks to this dimension of knowledge and thus contribute to the consolidation of university extension. This exploratory research and quantitative and qualitative approach carried out a quantification of all extension actions in CAHL, registered in the Dean of Extension (PROEXT); up existing regulatory frameworks Extension Policy adopted at the university and conducted a survey on self-evaluation reports of the Institutional UFRB. This study generated data extremely important as the realization of extension practice in CAHL, pointing to its potential and challenges; and germinated new questions and research opportunities.
