Extension material to contribute to teaching activity in Higher Education

Abstract

The current practice of university extension perpetuates oriented towards artistic, sports and literary culture, minimizing its place in the comprehensive general training of students and teachers. The following article aims to design extension material to support teaching activity in Higher Education, aimed at students and teachers to contribute to extension training and integration between the organizational components of the teaching-learning process. It started with a thorough documentary review, thus providing the necessary information on the current state of the object of investigation. Various authors who have worked on the subject and its results were considered; as well as the analysis of the antecedents and tendencies of the university extension. Guided by a dialectical-materialist approach, theoretical and empirical methods such as document analysis, interview and survey were used; as well as the mathematical statistical method for the processing and analysis of the data, which allowed us to verify the need for bibliographic material. Among the main results, it is evident that the extension process continues to be only associated with artistic manifestations and its formative function as a transversal axis in the teaching-learning process is renounced.
