Abstract

The University as a social institution has three   substantive functions: teaching, research and   extension. These pillars allow articulating the academic   and institutional work to achieve the completion of   the philosophy that justifies its reason for being. In   the case of the Open University for Adults, in addition   to the three previous functions, management is also   considered, which is conceived as the set of actions   developed by academic and administrative staff   to guarantee the quality of educational processes.   Despite the declaration of substantive functions as an   inherent part, the practices that support the university   model represent a great challenge to develop specific   actions that give account for the articulation between   teaching and extension.

Based on this concern, a plan has been conceived to   promote this duality from the teaching practice. It is of   great interest for academics to conceive activities that   allow merging the substantive functions of university   work through the planning and implementation of   teaching and learning strategies.

From this motivation arises the proposal to embrace   teaching and extension in a good didactic practice   during the development of the subject Professional   Ethics of Teachers, taken by the participants of the   degree in Education. The objective was direct to   share UAPA’s experience about social bonding and   community commitment with the participation of the   university community
