FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES NA EDUCAÇÃO A DISTÂNCIA: UM ESTUDO SOBRE A MODALIDADE

Abstract

This dissertation aims to develop a reflection on Distance Education (EaD), discussing the current legislation and the conditions of offer of the Degree in Pedagogy. With the intention of unveiling the intentions of this modality of teaching in the formation and didactics of the teachers. The methodology will focus on a qualitative and quantitative research, performing an articulation of instrumental and practical aspects with theoretical foundations, employing a literature review, document analysis and empirical research, with a view to understanding the research universe in order to meet the essence of this type of teaching. The distrust DL comes from doubts regarding the proposals of the National Education Plan (PNE), which has focused on expanding and expanding, in order to issue diplomas lightened form, meeting the objectives of international organizations, reducing processes of didactic mediation to purely instrumental procedures. The critical reflection around these problems leads to questions about the processes of teacher mediation that occur in the practices of teacher training in Distance Education. Thus, the initial formation of the teacher is light, pragmatic, instrumental, geared to school needs in the strict sense and based on skills and abilities. Thus, it is necessary to consider Distance Education as an effective strategy to improve the quality of higher education, with a critical and contextualized formation, based on the same assumptions of face-to-face education, in which teacher training (author and tutor), as well as such as creativity, planning, mediation, and cooperation are fundamental for learning to take place. As a theoretical reference, the foundation of the relationship between human emancipation processes and forms of educational organization in the perspective of Historical-Cultural Theory is supported by Vygotsky (2001, 2007), Davydov (1988, 1999) and Libâneo (2004, 2012, 2018). Such as education reference the distance beyond the access democratization was used as Toschi reference (2012, 2013), Alonso (2010, 2013), Preti (2000, 2002, 2003, 2005), the Evangelist (2013, 2017) and Mandeli (2014). Slow training practices by "companies" should be extinguished from training policies, in order to have the possibility of a critical and social inclusion of those who use them. From the research, it is clear that a quality education distance is possible since the pedagogical factors are ahead of economic, because then we will have a teaching and learning process focused on the development of the student from the teacher mediation. With the potential of media and information and communication technologies some "educational companies" will come in distance education a niche market, and the unbridled expansion of private institutions, which was encouraged and protected by the government, making education a "well-mercadejável".
