Abstract

Linked to online research: Theories of Education and Pedagogical Process, the aim of this thesis was to identify the needs and demands on the teacher caused from the use of Virtual Learning Environments from the point of view of the teacher. In the initial chapters are presented basic features of Distance Education (EAD) as a teaching method that is expanding. For this, we marked out by authors such as Kenski (2007), Moore (2002) and Peters (2003). Regarding the characterization of the virtual learning environment we present about the potential of educational practices that are becoming increasingly important tools for information exchange, communication, interaction and availability of study materials, such as support in education face, which is the main focus this research. We rely on this step by authors such as Almeida (2003); Battetini (1996), Levy (1994), Gonzales (2005), Moraes (2002), Prado, Valente (2002), Salmon (2002) among others. The literature review is part of research studies and reference books on the teaching practice and the relationship between technology and education, especially with the use of AVA. The empirical research, a qualitative, part of the analysis and interpretation of data obtained from an individual analysis of each interview and later, a thematic analysis allowed identification of some categories that are the basis for some conclusions.
