GONCALVES, Nadia Gaiofatto. Inseparability of Teaching, Research and Extension: a necessary principle. Perspectiva [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.3, pp.1229-1256. ISSN 2175-795X.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795X.2015v33n3p1229.

The aim of this work is to discuss contextually the principle of the inseparability of teaching, research and extension in Brazilian universities. To this end, the study addresses its discussion and insertion in Brazilian regulations, as well as how this process is appropriated and implemented, starting from the perspective of Pierre Bourdieu. The study focuses on universities and the academic, institutional and administrative fields and habitus that pervade this social space in order to discuss the paths that the process follows. The context in the wake of the Federal Constitution of 1988 is of particular importance. This was when this principle was formally established as a requirement for universities and also when the democratic reopening of the country contributed to the discussion of the role of higher education and universities before the society. New requirements were required for these institutions, including greater dialogue with different sectors of society, the production of socially relevant knowledge and academic education articulated with social and research requirements. The main result was that the model that has been consolidated in Brazil was based on three pillars: teaching, research and extension as the mission of the university. This did not necessarily constitute the implementation of the principle of inseparability in academic learning and in teaching and institutional actions.
