To achieve this proposition, five interviews were realized with Extension or Communitarian Action directors, from Catholic and Communitarian Universities located in the Province and in the Coastal region of S?o Paulo with tradition in extensionist actions.

Para este prop?sito, realizamos entrevistas com cinco Pr?- Reitores de Extens?o ou A??o Comunit?ria, de Universidades Cat?licas e Comunit?rias localizadas no interior e litoral de S?o Paulo, com tradi??o em a??es extensionistas. A investiga??o deste tema leva-nos a entender que a avalia??o do compromisso social da A??o Extensionista constitui um avan?o na medida em que propicia a valoriza??o e institucionaliza??o da Extens?o por meio do ensino e da pesquisa. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que em sua maioria, a avalia??o da a??o extensionista ? realizada de maneira informal e n?o concebida como um instrumento pedag?gico que deveria avaliar os efeitos e resultados concretos dessas a??es que se estendem a sociedade. Apesar disso, observa-se uma Extens?o transformando-se em pr?tica acad?mica interligada ao ensino e ? pesquisa, significadas de aspectos espec?ficos de identidade enquanto Cat?lica e Comunit?ria.
