Diferentes percepções a respeito dos níveis de interação entre atores sociais e instituições cooperativas e o curso de tecnólogo em gestão de cooperativas da uft.

Abstract

Due to the lack of knowledge of a large part of the people about the formation of the Cooperative Management course, this article seeks to show the levels of interaction between the course of the Federal University of Tocantins and the social actors and cooperative institutions of the local community, in which it is inserted. It also seeks to examine how the community knows about the existence of higher education in the area of cooperativism and its importance, considering the institutions and social actors of the municipality of Araguaína - TO. It is an exploratory research that, in order to meet the proposed objectives, was divided into two phases: documentary research and data collection, using the Venn Diagram technique, questionnaires and semi-structured scripts. The main results show that there is interaction of the course of the Federal University of Tocantins with institutions and local social actors, but that the partnerships made are not formalized. It is also noted that the Technologist course in Cooperative Management still has little visibility, but it proves itself important for the society and economy. It is also noted that the need of the Pedagogical Project of the Course needs to go through some updates to meet the demands of the current context.
