THE IMPORTANCE OF EXTENSION AND THE IMPACT IT HAS ON THE FORMATIVE PROCESS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

This work deals with a bibliographic and documentary survey on the university extension and its importance as a tool that builds a relationship between the student and the community to which he is inserted. It has been discussed about interdisciplinarity and intersectoriality for a long time, how to insert this cultural dynamic within these extension spaces. With the objective of transforming academic knowledge, ratifying its mission and vision of producing and disseminating the practice of what was disseminated in the classroom, this is the main function of university extension research. The National Extension Policy (PNE) is agreed by the Public Institutions of Higher Education (IPES), having as reference document the National Extension Plan (1999, 2001 and 2012), the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education No. 9,394, of December 20, 1996, and Practice of Extension of Resolution 7 of 2018 of the MEC. In this sense, university education provides the construction of the academic so that he knows how to disseminate and contribute to the dissemination of knowledge discovering its potential and facing the challenges, and with the university extension this is possible in a real way.
