A inserção social como proposta de programa das faculdades de odontologia das universidades federais brasileiras: um estudo investigativo em 2019

Abstract

The aim of this study was to find out about the item social insertion present as a program proposal from the dental schools of federal universities in Brazil described in the Sucupira Platform. A consultation was carried out on the e-MEC database and on the Sucupira platform to find out how many federal public dental schools were in the country and to select the proposals for the social insertion of each of them within the Program Proposal item. Based on this study, it was possible to analyze the measures adopted in other public colleges in the country and discover new strategies for improving the interaction between lay society, undergraduate and graduate students at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF) in order to raise the level of education assessment in our higher education institution (IES) by CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel). From the present study of measures implemented at the Faculty of Dentistry of UFJF and other universities, we can elaborate the state of the art of social insertion, allowing for reflections and a panoramic construction of that state. It is worth highlighting the need for important extension projects and research oriented so that the measures of social insertion elaborated by each faculty reach the full execution of their proposals described in the sucupira platform and later recognition by CAPES. University extension is a space that effectively enables the integration between teaching and research, being extremely conducive to the development of activities that allow social insertion. Being in constant contact with social inequality, through the actions promoted by extension workers and their respective strategies to reduce them is of great value.
