Abstract

VARGAS, HUSTANA MARIA  and  ZUCCARELLI, CAROLINA. THE NEW FACE OF TEACHING: A PROPOSAL FOR A REVIEW OF THE CENSUS OF HIGHER EDUCATION. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.32, e08282.  Epub Dec 11, 2021. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v32.8282.

The study suggests an improvement of the Census of Higher Education based on the expansion of higher education, especially the distance learning modality, and on the debate about professional isolation. It discusses the latest information about teachers through the evaluation instruments of the Ministry of Education and presents hypotheses for the invisibility of the tutors in the Census. The results show little information about the conditions of teaching, especially for tutors, who mediate the teaching and learning process and constitute the main professional force in distance learning. It concludes that a more detailed analysis on the teaching work is an essential step to improve the quality of higher education.

Keywords : DISTANCE EDUCATION; CENSUS OF HIGHER EDUCATION; EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION; TUTOR.
