SUMMARY:

Extension brings in its essence the concern to maintain a bond with society. At the moment in which public policy proposes the mandatory inclusion of extension activities in 10% of undergraduate curricula, spaces emerge to debate about the conceptions of extension practices that were valid until then; would those practices be related to a well-fare policy, to mercantilism or aligned to society demands? Paulo Freire proposes to reflect upon those practices, understanding the term communication as exchange of knowledge between subjects, once it echoes outside school walls what is done out there and brings inside popular knowledge. Our goal is to investigate and evaluate the understanding and engagement of professors of the Federal Center of Technological Education of Minas Gerais – CEFET-MG, who work in Professional and Technological Education (EPT) about extension from their conceptions of communication and the proposal of Freire’s popular education. This is a qualitative research, using in-depth semi-structured interview. The analysis was made based on Content Analysis by themes method, defined after the interviews were conducted with a questionnaire made for five coordinators and ten professors of undergraduate courses on campus I of CEFET-MG. The results showed that both coordinators and teachers understand the extension as one the tripods of education that takes to society the knowledge being developed in academy, showing, however, that some of them perceive extension as a well-fare policy and market driven. Some professors were aligned to Freire’s proposal of a knowledge exchange between society and academy, establishing a dialog between them. This research intended to contribute with the debate regarding the mandatory extension curricula in CEFET-MG and, therefore, there was the creation of an almanac as an educational product, whose goal is to inspire multiple people to develop projects based on Freire’s conception of education. In conclusion, extension practices focused on critical thinking, communication, dialog and knowledge exchange between the society and the academy are proposed.
