PIVETTA, Hedioneia Maria Foletto et al. Ensino, pesquisa e extensão universitária: em busca de uma integração efetiva. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.31, pp.377-390. ISSN 1981-0431.

Taking an innovating and transforming attitude of the social reality implies expanding and strengthening the integration between teaching, research and extension as a systemic learning process. This paper is meant to reflect and discuss the integration between teaching, research and extension in the training of health professionals, by means of a case study that demonstrates how this process has been performed. The qualitative approach was performed through participating observation technique. Thus, considering the universe and the complexity of human development, the need to facilitate meaningful learning, produced from the acquisition of socially contextualized knowledge, is implied. This training makes it possible for the professional to intervene in and about the reality, through interventions made with autonomy and competence, generating new knowledge and new practices enabled by the integration of teaching, research and extension.

Keywords : Higher Education; Integration of Teaching; Research and University Extension; Interdisciplinarity; Social Responsibility.
