Ensino e educação para além da sala de aula: o papel do tripé educacional - ensino, pesquisa e extensão – para o público indígena no IFMA – campus Barra do Corda/MA

Abstract

This research was developed with the Postgraduate Program in Education and Technology - PROFET/IFPI, and has as its starting point a concern: what are the inclusion actions, based on the Teaching, Research and Extension tripod, the Federal Institute of Science and Technology of Maranhão - Barra do Corda campus, developed with the indigenous communities of the municipal territory, in the period 2020-2023. This question instigates the need to recognize that the practices of inserting students, in teaching and learning contexts in vocational schools, go beyond participation in classes, but through inclusion actions that envision not only professional training, but also above all critical and scientific development, especially of audiences external to the institution, such as indigenous people and their associated communities. Despite numerous ministerial initiatives and the National Education Council and the Institutes of Science and Technology through the institutionalization of NEABIs, for example, there are still few studies dedicated to investigating how knowledge production occurs, through the teaching-research- extension tripod, in federal institutes of education; an opportunity that moves us in an effort of this nature. Given the aforementioned problem, the work aimed to learn about the inclusion actions, based on the teaching- research-extension tripod that IFMA develops with indigenous communities in the municipality of Barra do Corda/MA. The proposal in question was developed at IFMA – Barra do Corda campus, in the form of a descriptive and analytical case study, with a qualitative approach. It consists of a collection of research and extension works with indigenous themes at the institute from 2020 to 2023, as well as their records and reports, identifying inclusion activities and contributions to academic and social development. Fourteen research and extension projects developed during this period were identified, in which it was possible to observe the participation of 5 indigenous students. Despite the relatively low number of indigenous students participating, all projects had a large contribution from local communities. Based on the results of the work, an Educational Product was created, a memorialistic and informative guide, prepared from photos, reports and illustrations, as well as the regulations on indigenous education, divided into three chapters: research actions; extension actions; with transcription to Word and didactic construction on the Canva platform. This document will be able to guide on the important aspects for the development of teaching, research and extension practices within the indigenous theme. It will also constitute a historical document with the activities already developed on the campus during the training period
