METODOLOGIA HUMANATIVA EM AÇÕES DE PESQUISA E EXTENSÃO: UMA REVISÃO TEÓRICA COM FOCO NA EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E TECNOLÓGICA (EPT)

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the theoretical and methodological foundations of the Humanative Methodology in research and extension actions, with a particular focus on Professional and Technological Education (PTE). The study is grounded in a critical perspective on technicism and positivist approaches that have historically shaped scientific production and educational practices in this field, often detached from integral human formation. Methodologically, a qualitative, descriptive, and interpretative literature review was conducted, based on the analysis of theoretical works addressing humanization, subjectivity, intersubjectivity, qualitative methodologies, and the inseparability of teaching, research, and extension. The analysis reveals that the Humanative Methodology emerges as a framework capable of repositioning the human subject at the center of knowledge production, valuing narratives, lived experiences, and dialogical practices. The results indicate that, within PTE, this approach helps to challenge the dichotomy between technical training and human education, while also offering contributions to addressing issues such as student dropout and the limited adoption of inclusive pedagogical methodologies. It is concluded that the Humanative Methodology aligns with a Humanistic Education perspective, strengthening the ethical, social, and formative commitment of academic actions and presenting itself as a promising theoretical-methodological alternative for enhancing research, extension, and educational practices in Professional and Technological Education.
