interacciones entre espacios y conocimientos en la universidad comunitaria

Resumen

The aim of this article is to problematize the use of space and knowledge within a community university for the provision of activities that make up the curriculum of full-time basic education schools. The research, with a qualitative approach, was conducted at a community university in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The participants were four university professors responsible for the development and implementation of a curricular proposal offered to students from municipal public schools. Data were produced through semi-structured interviews, whose analysis was based on the methodology of Meaning Cores, and the results include the organization of two groups: (1) Integral education at the university as a possibility for developing a critical and reflective perspective; and (2) From the creation to the implementation of Project Trilhas, between what was envisioned and what was accomplished. The analyses indicate that the spaces and knowledge of this university, with strong social engagement in the regional community, can offer the development of activities articulated with university extension projects, in dialogue with research and different areas of knowledge. However, the proposal investigated shows little articulation with the school curriculum, which compromises the pursuit of students’ integral education.
