Assistência ao estudante na Universidade Federal do Ceará: Contribuições Teóricas e Práticas

Abstract

This work results from an exploratory study involving bibliographic and documental data collection, which was proceeded through analysis of statements written by scholar students linked to the Student Cells in Cooperative Learning Program (PACCE), from the Training and Learning Cooperative Coordinating Body (COFAC), the Dean of Graduate Studies (PROGRAD), of the Federal University of Ceara (UFC), in 2011.1. The content addressed involve assistance to the students - performed in federal educational institutions in Brazil (IFES), dictated by socioeconomic worldwide panorama - and the work done by scholars of PACCE, which use principles of cooperative learning, observing the UFC instance . We aimed to investigate the potential of the program as a way of assistance, starting with the support in the perception of that scholarship student, embodied in written expression on his experience after a semester of activities. Not wishing to generalize the findings, the survey data show that the program has several factors that make it a potential form of assistance and more comprehensive because it works not only academic content but also general training that enables the college student in personal and professional ways.
