DE SORDI, Mara Regina Lemes; SANTOS, Marcos Henrique Almeida dos  and  SALVADOR, Maria Aparecida Tenório. Unicamp's Teaching and Learning (EA)² Support Space as an activator of changes in undergraduate education: the challenge of sustainability in its multiple dimensions. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2024, vol.34, n.67, e38.  Epub Sep 05, 2024. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.18675/1981-8106.v34.n.67.s17945.

The objective of this article is to discuss the relevance of proposing institutional spaces aimed at the qualification of undergraduate teaching within universities recognized for their excellence in the field of scientific research. The experience under development at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp) in the Teaching and Learning (EA)2 Support Space is taken as a pretext to understand the motivations that favored initiatives focused on improving undergraduate teaching since the inseparability between research,teaching and extension seems to be a construct accepted as a consensual beacon for the construction of quality in public universities. It is intended to historically recover the ideas of (EA)2 and highlight the logic of action that constituted it in the perspective of activating paradigmatic changes in undergraduate teaching, establishing strengths and weaknesses. The voices of institutional actors are triggered to promote reflection on the challenges that mark everyday life and that can affect the sustainability of programs in both the pedagogical, curricular and ethical-political dimensions. Finally, it is emphasized that actions to support the development of university teaching are a basilar condition in order for the human and professional education of graduates from undergraduate courses to be in line with the ethical-political imperatives of a society subjected to processes of accelerated change.
