A extensão universitária no processo de formação profissional: experiência da TECA

Abstract

This work deals with university extension in the professional formation’s process, based on TECA’s experience, which works through free play in a teaching and care hospital’ playroom in Maceió / AL. I aimed to understand university extension’s participation in the professional formation’s process. Specifically, I discuss the meanings produced about university-service-community interactions in the a university hospital’s context; approach play in academic education; and reflect on social context that runs through the TECA extension. To this, I resort to the use, as a methodological basis, Discursive Practices Analysis and Meaning Production, to promote the analysis, through dialogic maps, of linguistic repertoires found in a workshop produced. The analytical map pointed to four predominant repertoires: Dehospitalization; Play, Affections and Extension. We could reflect on: health conceptions involved in the dehospitalization process, especially the notion of expanded clinic; the relation of ludic and professional formation; the affections developed in extension, these being TECA's own method; and regarding the social crossings in the extension’s context, concerning students' socioeconomic conditions and the extension’s curricularization. The TECA, using free play, makes sense of allowing flow to the subjectivities that cross it. And through affections, it fosters the strengthening of bonds and horizontal relationships. At this very point, the extension experience touches and sensitizes its participants.
