PESQUISA E EXTENSÃO NO IF GOIANO - CAMPUS POSSE: PRIMEIROS PASSOS

Abstract

Research and Extension are the arms and legs of every educational institution, since, through them, knowledge is produced and put into practice. Through them, problems of society come to academic community that tries to solve them. The institutions become spaces where teaching is based on the interaction of students, professors and researchers, as well as making the institutions more dynamic and careful with the community reality. The Instituto Federal Goiano has Education, Science and Technology as its foundations since its origin, leading scientific research and technological extension by the State. Internal scholarships feed that action, generating several projects with relevant results that need to be publicized, mainly in regions few noticed, such as Posse and neighboring cities. Research websites reveal that the Posse region is still poorly attended or has scarcely published academic production. In general, the available scientific/academic works are some monographs by institutions from other localities that address different subjects. In other words, some local problems still are unsolved or the solution is weakly developed. Support to produce or new ways to publicize the local academic production are needed. The good attainability of those academic works already concluded is a great incentive to new ones. It's a vicious cycle since attainability increases production which increases attainability. In this way, every academic action in the region becomes important for the benefits of research and extension are available to more people and contribute to the development of all society. So, the aim of the present book was to group some of the research and extension projects developed at IF Goiano - Campus Posse, during the years 2017 to 2019. We seek to contemplate various areas of knowledge and describe the region through different points of view and issues. Thus, we hope to fill knowledge gaps, provide a reliable source of information and support new academic works. We believe, seeing all the chapters together, that we can inspire others one to support future projects of IF Goiano, in Posse, and, perhaps, of other institutions in the region.
