Abstract

In the most recent conception for the university, teaching, research and extension need to be linked, according to the National Plan for University Extension. However, the extension must not be understood only as an assistance activity. The goal of this article is to show the importance of extension activities – their function besides the research and university teaching – to promote the formation of critical citizens. From a bibliographic research about the issue, it was possible to reflect on the conditions and consequences of this interweaving of the three pillars of the university. In the extension, the relationship between professor and student becomes closer, because they admit themselves as partners in the process of knowledge generation. In this new conception of teaching, the truth is put to the test, considering the continuous construction and deconstruction of individual and collective knowledge.
