Reflexões sobre ensino, pesquisa, extensão e administrativo de docentes em cursos de engenharia de três universidades federais

Abstract

Among the duties and rights provided for in the laws that govern higher education, one of the most important is the inseparability of the teaching, research and outreach triad, which is directly listed in the Brazilian Federal Constitution. In addition to these planned activities, federal higher education professors also dedicate time to the administrative activities of the institutions in which they work. Through the analysis of data from the curricula available on the CNPq Lattes platform, a comparative quantitative study of the faculty of engineering courses from three federal universities, was carried out. The distribution of professors' activities between teaching, research, extension and administrative activities among the three institutions was examined. From the results obtained in this work, it became clear the discrepancy that Brazil presents in its universities, for not having a system that determines the ideal way to distribute the teaching activities, as well as for not offering the necessary conditions for their adequate and satisfactory development.
