A curricularização da extensão universitária no ensino de química: um levantamento das produções em revistas de extensão

Abstract

The present research, entitled "The Curriculum of University Extension in Chemistry Teaching: A survey of productions in extension journals", aims to analyze and classify the articles found on the Forum of Extension Pro-Rectors of Public Institutions of Brazilian Higher Education (FORPROEX) that are associated with the teaching of chemistry and the Licentiate Degree in Chemistry and who can contribute to our investigation. This research proposal arose, due to the fact that the University Extension (EU) becomes mandatory in the higher education curriculum of Federal Institutions according to the National Education Plan (PNE), through Law No. 13.005/2014, that Brazilian higher education institutions must allocate at least ten percent of the curricular credits of undergraduate courses in university extension programs and projects by 2024. in journals intended for publications of extension projects, using the keyword “chemistry”, which is related to the topic to be analyzed. The research has the character of a bibliographic review, where a quantitative and later qualitative analysis of the publications found was carried out. The construction of this work made it possible to verify the wide variety of conceptions that extension activities have assumed over the years within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). When we started the research, we imagined that the results that would be achieved could serve as subsidies and even support in the process of implementing the EU in the Licentiate Degree in Chemistry, however, the results obtained were not satisfactory. Thus, we can conclude that, the main challenge for the extension to be included in the curricula is centered on the process of awareness and standardization of the true concept of I.
