Desafios para implementação da avaliação institucional da política de extensão em uma universidade pública brasileira

Abstract

The evaluation of Higher Education goes through a process of evolution that aims to overcome the tax nature of its guidelines devoid of moments of analysis and discussions necessary in the complex and plural environment that characterize the organizations under debate. This work, attracted by the valuable perspective of making permanent the institutional evaluation of the extension policy as one of the evaluation parameters of the university itself, had the objective of analyzing the limits and possibilities for UFAL to implement the Brazilian Indicators of University Extension (IBEU) consolidated as basis of FORPROEX. In order to achieve this purpose, we chose to conduct an exploratory research of a descriptive nature. The data collection was done by the documentary analysis technique to locate, through a descriptive diagnosis, the guidelines and academic-administrative actions related to UFAL's extension policy in the last four years (2015-2018). The results were analyzed through the methodology of Bardin content analysis, systematized into five thematic categories: Management Policy, Infrastructure, Academic Plan, University / Society and Academic Production Relation. The results indicate that given the circumstances, UFAL has immediate conditions to implement 38 indicators of the IBEU baseline, possibilities derived mainly from the data systematization offered by the SIGAA / Extension Module. In view of the limitations identified as challenges to the effectiveness of other indicators, it is evident that the evaluation instruments themselves define the recording structure so that the evaluation is performed on a sequence of data collected in a systematic way throughout the The extension within the UFAL, from the implementation of performance indicators, may have instruments to insert and participate as more ownership of the discussions that define the institutional future, genuine motivation of any and all evaluation process, does not exist to only present static data, isolated from appreciation, but to be a driver of strengthening and a glimpse of new paths of action.
