Avaliação para as aprendizagens em ações de extensão universitária: um estudo exploratório

Abstract

The objective of this work was to identify the processes of follow-up/guidance and evaluation of students in Extension programs/projects. A qualitative exploratory study of the records of the Extension Information System (SIEX) was carried out. Exhaustive reading of the fields “fellow-up and guidance plan and student assessment process” followed by categorization according to the principles of formative assessment and the National Policy for University Extension (PNEU). Eight active Extension projects/programs were analyzed. The most cited means of guidance and monitoring was the regular meeting with students. Self-assessment was observed in half of the activities. Preparation of reports, discussion of clinical cases, seminars and discussion groupswere the most cited assessment tools. Peer view was not observed. Results indicate that student assessment process is heterogeneous and presents elements consistent with the principles of formative assessment and the PNEU guidelines. However, it was revealed that the qualityof the pedagogical proposal of the Extension activities can be improved.
