Abstract

Extension actions (EA) share teaching-learning between community and University. They build dialogues and provoke decisive and inclusive transformations. This study aimed to understand the perceptions of teachers working in an Children's Educational Center (CEC) about strengths and potential of EA carried out in this institution. Data were collected through open, recorded and transcribed interviews with fourteen teachers, after approval of the research project “Perceptions of teachers from Children's Educational Center on extension activities” by the Research Ethics Committee (CAAE 67725123.3.0000.5231). It was found that intelligible communication during EA is fundamental for the assimilation of content by children. By understanding aspects related to self-care, they can promote health in their families. Joint planning by EA is essential to understand the school’s needs. EA were considered synergistic instruments for the activities developed by the CEI and important for the training of students, as long as there is openness to teaching and learning.

Keywords: qualitative research; child education; social integration; health education; higher education.
