The objective of the research is to analyze, in the light of self-management precepts, the incubationsolidarity economy based on empirical experiences of group Organization of Learning and Knowledge in Solidarity Initiatives and Studies in the Third Sector (Oasis / UFRN). The OASIS group develops integrated teaching, research and extension activities aimed at strengthening collective initiatives among young people and adults, based on principles of solidarity economy, both through voluntary social projects and the purpose of generating work and income. The methodological course of the dissertation began with a search for articles dealing with the incubation of Solidarity Economy projects in the Capes Portal and for theses and dissertations in the Institutional Repository of UFRN. Then the self-management literature was mapped and the categories of analysis used were selected. In order to meet the research objective, the study adopted a qualitative approach through a case study strategy. The data were collected through documents, semi-structured interviews and participant observation with undergraduate students of the OASIS group, and later processed through the basic lexicographic analysis supported by the IRAMUTEQ software. IRAMUTEQ generated six analytical classes for the textual corpus from the data collection: a) contributions; b) experience; c) self-management; d) incubator; e) activity and) enterprise. These categories generated by the software were compared to the categories of analysis of the self - management organization of Carvalho (1983) and Oliveira (1996), organized by Toledo (2008), which are: decision making, division and participation in work, on self-management and solidarity economy, division of labor between planning and execution, personal relations, hierarchy and education.
Finally, it appears as true theoretical statement of this research that says there is social and pedagogical relevance of the type of work done by graduate students both as a contribution to the projects and in terms of pedagogical feedback process. It was verified that the skills that undergraduate students learn in the context of the work they carry out in the context of the solidarity economy, are related to professional training in a perspective of attending to public different from what is studied in the undergraduate course;and that although undergraduates do not precisely define the concept of self-management, in their activities of incubation of solidarity economic enterprises are applied principles of self-management and solidarity economy.
