Alinhamento estratégico do PDI e os projetos de ensino, pesquisa e extensão: estudo nos colégios da UFSM

Abstract

This study has its origin in the known problems that involve the implementation of plans so that they become practical actions. IDP is the institutional development proposal of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), and its aim is guiding the university. Extending this statement, it is assumed that there should be a connection between the IDP and the actions executed by the education units of the Institution. Considering this context, the present study aims at identifying and describing in which way the education, research and extension projects that are developed by the schools connected to the UFSM (CTISM, Polytechnic School and CAFW) are aligned to the guiding lines of the IDP UFSM. In order to reach this goal, the study reanalyzes the concept and general notions of strategy, strategic planning in the public administration, Institutional Development Plan and Institutional Development Plan of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Through the exam of secondary data obtained with access to the SIE UFSM, crossings between the defined analysis categories and the registered projects were established. It was perceived that most of the projects are allied to the three main guide lines fixed by the IDP UFSM. The profile of the projects coordinator is of an employee with at least five years of work at the Institution, master or doctor and with interests in research. The projects developed by the coordinators of the basic, technic and technological education career are more allied than the ones developed by the coordinators of the higher education career. This study aimed at exploring a new perspective that may contribute to the debate regarding the process of planning and its implementation at the UFSM.
