Um olhar discursivo sobre a extensão e a formação omnilateral de estudantes do IFPE -Campus Palmares

Abstract

This research aimed to understand, from the students' discourse, the importance of Extension for human formation in an omnilateral perspective. The specific objectives were: to identify in the students' speeches how they understand the Extension; to analyze how the Extension contributed to the formation of students, from the point of view of omnilaterality and, finally, to elaborate an educational product (video) that favors the understanding of the Extension and collaborates for an education in the perspective described above. It is a qualitative research that was developed using the theoretical-methodological procedures of French Discourse Analysis, affiliated with the thought of Michel Pêcheux and with theoretical and methodological developments in Brazil, based on studies by Eni Orlandi. It was carried out with students from IFPE - Campus Palmares who were extensionists of the Institutional Program for Granting Extension Scholarships - PIBEX during the years 2018 and 2019. The selection criterion was related to the condition of scholarship student of the mentioned program in the mentioned period. For the construction of the corpus, semi-structured interviews were used. The result showed that the students' statements, in relation to Extension, are ideologically marked with the interests of the current capitalist system. However, they also demonstrated, through their sayings, that there was a development in their capacities and significant changes in their attitudes, from their involvement with the Extension, which dialogue with human formation in an omnilateral perspective. As a result of the research, an audiovisual resource (video) was produced, which was named 'Students' Discourses on Extension'. This Educational Product was evaluated and accepted by the students. Finally, we understand that despite the historical-social conditions imposed by capitalism, education in general, and in this study, Extension in particular, has contributed to a training that has as its horizon the omnilateral development of man.
