A Curricularização da Extensão sob a ótica dos coordenadores do curso de Ciências Contábeis em uma Universidade Federal no Centro-oeste brasileiro

Abstract

The curricularization of extension was established in the National Education Plan - PNE 2014-2024 and is still in the initial phase of implementation and with many challenges to be faced for its implementation in higher education. Thus, the objective of the article is to analyze the curricularization of extension in the view of the coordinators of the undergraduate course in Accounting Sciences at a Federal University in the Brazilian Center-West. To achieve this objective, a semi-structured interview script was prepared and applied to the four coordinators of the course in question, who belonged to the campuses of: Três Lagoas (CPTL), Pantanal - Corumbá (CPAN), Campo Grande (ESAN) and Nova Andradina (CPNA), carried out in September 2023. To facilitate data analysis, the interview was divided into 8 blocks, so that difficulties were encountered related to the adaptability and transformation of the area of activity into an extension activity, in addition to the awareness of teachers to develop projects related to this topic. Regarding the challenges faced, there is a need to understand the relevance of extension on the part of academics and the engagement of teaching staff in the development of projects. This research contributes by providing more in-depth analyzes of the positive and negative impacts on the insertion of extension in universities, as well as highlighting the importance of extension actions and projects for the implementation of extension curricularization in higher education.
