Buenas Prácticas de Extensión y vinculación social: Confluencias teóricas entre la Extensión, aprendizaje – servicio y responsabilidad social

Abstract

Good practices of Extension and social linkage:
Theoretical confluence between extension, learning -
service and social responsibility, is related to university
extension and its articulation with the institutional,
state and company social sectors and has as objectives:
to assess the theoretical confluences between social
extension and the achievement of useful learning
for society, as part of the social responsibility of
the university and visualize how good practices of
extension and social linkage converge with the social
responsibility of the university in the dissemination
and conservation of culture.
The mission of universities is to prepare the citizens
of a country to meet the demands that society
needs through the conservation, development and
promotion of culture, science and social progress. In
this sense, the extension work, service-learning and
university social responsibility constitute processes
that have points of contact and are distinguished from
each other based on the fulfillment of said mission,
encompassing various scenarios and approaches when
expressing the links of the university with society and
the state.
This paper addresses, fundamentally, from pedagogical
theories, some theoretical reflections on University
Extension processes, followed by a tour of servicelearning and university social responsibility, through the
exemplification of extensionist practices of the Faculty
Multidisciplinary Regional of Chontales of the UNAN
Managua. The university extension and social link,
carried out from the FAREM Chontales, contributes to
the development of the country, through actions that
pay for responses to the SDGs, PNDH, Agenda 2030
and strategic lines of action of the UNAN-Managua.
The methodology of the work is close to socio-cultural
animation since all the experiences developed in
recent years are based on social intervention that tries
to modify the realities of groups of people, through
extensionist practices and actions.

In this sense, it is important to highlight that, through
sociocultural animation processes, specific actions
are developed as elements of extension and linkage,
roughly, to visualize in the communities, the actions
that modify their environment, for example, changes
of behavior, regarding family and social coexistence,
awareness of the need to care for the environment
and overcoming risk behaviors.
