NUNES, João Batista Carvalho  y  SALES, Viviani Maria Barbosa. Formação de professores de licenciatura a distância: o caso do curso de pedagogia da UAB/UECE. Educ. Pesqui. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.03, pp.757-773. ISSN 1517-9702.

This work starts from the consideration that distance education (DE), in view of its flexible nature, has gained increasing space within the Brazilian educational scenario. An example of the expansion of this mode of teaching is the creation in 2006 by the federal government of the Open University of Brazil (Universidade Aberta do Brasil - UAB) system in response to at least two serious problems faced by the country: low teacher qualification, and the difficulties faced by the population to gain access to higher education. Having these two needs of Brazilian education in mind, a research was carried out seeking to answer the following question: considering the DE in the pedagogy licentiateship courses at the UAB system of the State University of Ceará (UAB/UECE), how does teacher education contribute to the exercise of the teaching profession? The work has as an objective to identify what is the education background of teachers working at the pedagogy licentiateship at UAB/UECE. For that, the methodology adopted the survey as a research method. The instrument used was an online questionnaire sent by electronic mail and created through the use of a free piece of software called LimeSurvey. The research sample was taken randomly and was composed of 47 teachers out of a population of 90 teachers. The results show that there is a still a large number of teachers without specific training in DE to work in the course. Also, the DE training offered by UAB/UECE does not cater fully for the formative needs of the teachers.
