Ensino-aprendizagem em educação a distância: um estudo de caso no ensino superior

Abstract

The present article was prepared from the studies carried out on teaching-learning in distance education. Research was done through the analysis of qualitative and quantitative questionnaires answered by students and teachers of teaching degree courses at Unijuí - Universidade Regional do Noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. The results presented and discussed in this article bring an opportunity for the knowledge concerning the experience in college education, the understanding and the analysis of teachers and students’ powers and practices in the process of teaching and learning in this modality and the identification of positive and defective aspects of the process. Although the technologies provide quality in the communication between students and teachers, they are not decisive to ensure efficiency in the process of teaching-learning. The difficulties noticed in the distance education are similar to those of the presential one. Distance education demands from students as well as from teachers a different attitude, more independent, more organized.
