BARTNIK, Fabiana Marques Pereira  y  SILVA, Itamar Mendes da. Avaliação da ação extensionista em universidades católicas e comunitárias. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.02, pp.453-469. ISSN 1414-4077.

The purpose of the present article is to understand and analyze how the Catholic and Communitarian Universities perform the evaluation of their extension activities. The authors believe that the evaluation of the social commitment of these activities constitutes an advance since it values and institutionalizes Extension. The results obtained show that, in the majority of the institutions, the evaluation of the extension activities is performed informally and is not conceived as a pedagogical instrument that should evaluate the effects of these actions upon society. Nevertheless, one can observe that the Extension activities are being transformed into an academic practice in connection with education and research, with aspects that characterize the institutions as catholic and communitarian.

Palabras clave : Evaluation of Extension Action; Extension University; Catholic and Communitarian University.
