TÉTRADE ACADÊMICA (EPEI): EXPERIÊNCIAS E DESAFIOS NA JORNADA DE FORMAÇÃO EM LICENCIATURA EM FÍSICA

Abstract

This memorial presents an experience of the Academic Tetrad EPEI (Teaching, Research, Extension, and Innovation) developed at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Acre (IFAC), Sena Madureira Campus. The report aims to analyze how the Academic Tetrad contributes to the comprehensive education of students and to institutional development, considering its educational, scientific, and social impacts. In this context, the study sought to describe the actions carried out within the scope of EPEI, identifying their contributions to learning and to the motivation for student protagonism, as well as evaluating the results arising from the integration among the four academic dimensions. This memorial is characterized as a qualitative, descriptive study, grounded in the formative experience lived, articulated with bibliographic references that supported the textual construction. For the analysis, institutional records, activity reports, implemented projects, and evidence of student and faculty participation in actions related to EPEI were considered, which made it possible to understand the implementation process and its effects in the educational context. The results show that the integration among teaching, research, extension, and innovation enhances the learning process, stimulates the development of technical and socio-emotional competencies, and strengthens the relationship between the institution, students, teachers, and the community. Increased motivation for student participation in projects was observed, along with improvements in scientific production and the expansion of actions aimed at local realities, indicating that the integrated approach fosters a more critical, collaborative, and contextualized education. It is concluded that the Academic Tetrad represents an effective strategy for promoting quality education, regional development, and social innovation, and may serve as a reference for other institutions within the Federal Network of Professional, Scientific, and Technological Education.
