Avaliação da extensão universitária: algumas considerações sobre indicadores de avaliação das ações curriculares de extensão na UFT

Abstract

The present research report investigates the evaluation of university extension at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT), focusing on the indicators used to measure its quality and impact. The research is based on the mandatory curricularization of extension, highlighting challenges in defining objective evaluation criteria. The objective is to identify and analyze the evaluation indicators of curricular extension activities at UFT, proposing guidelines for their improvement. A qualitative approach is adopted, based on document analysis and bibliographic review, to understand how the institution conducts this process and what gaps still need to be addressed. The results highlight the absence of a structured evaluation system, the need for standardization of criteria, and the importance of training those involved. The analysis of Consepe Resolution No. 14/2020 and the Extension Credit Guide at UFT demonstrates institutional advances but also reveals challenges in implementing and ensuring the effectiveness of the proposed guidelines. As a contribution, the present research report proposes a set of indicators that consider both the academic and social impact of extension activities, reinforcing the need for integration between teaching, research, and extension. It is concluded that consolidating extension evaluation at UFT depends on improving institutional processes, developing a more structured evaluation model, and valuing extension as a fundamental dimension of higher education.
