ANÁLISE DOS PROJETOS DE EXTENSÃO DO IF GOIANO - CAMPUS RIO VERDE: UM ESTUDO SOBRE AS POSSIBILIDADES DE REPLICAÇÃO

Abstract

Extension practice, like teaching and research, plays a significant role in building a comprehensive and transformative education. Developing socially relevant extension projects is a teacher challenge, requiring creativity and sensitivity to identify actions that promote student development while also benefiting society. This study analyzes extension projects developed at IF Goiano, Campus Rio Verde, with the goal of identifying proposals that can be replicated at other institutions, contributing to the dissemination of already successful initiatives. A total of 179 completed projects were analyzed, obtained from the Unified Public Administration System (SUAP). The research was conducted through content analysis, with interpretation and categorization of qualitative data. Among the results, a list of extension initiatives with potential for replicability stands out. The study allowed us to infer that extension projects can contribute significantly to the stakeholders involved, both to the external community and to student development. Evidence indicates, however, that investments are still insufficient to expand the number of initiatives, often limiting the implementation of new projects. These limitations involve structural, budgetary, and institutional factors that affect the continuity and scalability of these initiatives. The document thus contributes to the development of a repertoire of extension initiatives with a greater likelihood of success, encouraging systematization and partnerships that strengthen the relationship between schools, communities, and the market.
