A Metodologia de implementação da curricularização da extensão no Instituto Federal Sul-rio-grandense

Resumen

This article presents in detail the methodology for implementing the extension curricularization policy in undergraduate courses at Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia Sul-rio-grandense. From a Freirean perspective, it both points out the challenges and specificities experienced along the extension curricularization process and announces a theoretical and practical reflection on possible paths and strategies for implementing curricularization in the Institution's undergraduate courses. It highlights the importance of the curricularization of extension, which, besides being mandatory, represents an opportunity to resignify the academic work, by bringing the real context and the curricular components closer together, assigning new meanings both for students and for us, educators, qualifying reflections and practices, and establishing a new relationship of recognition. This qualitative study is part of a master's thesis in which, to construct the corpus of analysis, semi-structured interviews were carried out with nine employees who participate in the central committee in charge of planning the implementation of extension curricularization at Instituto Federal Sul-rio-grandense. In a dialogue with the committee participants, we were able to understand the chosen methodology and create paths that can help to implement a truly transformative curricularization, by affirming the importance of this policy for student education, since students are the protagonists of the extension curricularization, and the construction of a sensitive kind of education, thus collaborating with the critical and broad education of all those involved in this praxis.
