Abstract

This dissertation presents two distinct parts regarding scientific research. At the beginning performance indicators are identified and strategic environment is set up, using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a methodological tool, with a theoretical foundation in Kaplan and Norton (1997) and, in particular, Figueiredo (2002). Among the new adaptations it is highlighted the implementation of new perspectives: Organizational – strategic politics and management; Pedagogical – teaching, research and extension linking; Social Responsibility – university and society relationship and Scientific Production – scientific and technological publication and the definition of the strategic planning environment in the context of institutional self-assessment within the teaching, research and extension interface, through documental and camping research. In the second part, the university extension activities are assessed as an aim of third degree education, expressing your academic, political and social importance. The research was applied by sampling; teachers and students of third degree education from several professional areas, when the first institutional assessment happened in the school year of 2006, based on the guidelines of SINAES – Third Degree Education Assessment National System at Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica do Ceará. The application of questionnaires to teachers and students (trainees, college program workers, volunteers), semi-structured interviews, research to the database on the extension actions between September of 2008 and February of 2009, among others, were the instruments used for this work, and mainly as a base, the analysis of strategic planning for the extension established in the institutional development plan for the period 2005/2009. Considered the four perspectives defined in the process of identification of strategically pointers, as objective generality of this work, the resulted ones evidence that the teaching and learning classroom clearly has unfamiliarity of the politician-pedagogical planning for the interface education, research and extension, although the efforts of the high administration of the searched institution; not obstante, the positive impact in the translation of the pupil and the effective is distinguished contribution for the social inclusion of the taken care of clientele, by means of the activities of extension; also, perceives the great teaching development in scientific publication and technological, whereas, the learning group little has participation in activities of scientific initiation. In the general context, one concludes that, these social actors - professors and students, have insignificant participation in the elaboration of politics and the strategically planning for the university extension, although, adequately affirmed in the plan of institutional development, as demonstrated in the results of the applied research.
