Abstract

MUGNOL, Marcio. A educação a distância no Brasil: conceitos e fundamentos. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2009, vol.09, n.27, pp.335-349. ISSN 1981-416X.

This text aims to make an analysis of the Long Distance Learning (LDL) history in Brazil. It tries to focus on its principal moments along the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century. Its concepts and foundations are discussed, as well as its function in Brazil social reality. LDL is presented as a teaching modality that has been following the development of Brazilian educational system, and since 1966 has been receiving relevant support from the Federal Government that has encouraged its development through the Ministry of Education, both in public and private sphere. Initiatives like the creation of UAB (Universidade Aberta do Brasil - Brazil Open University) are considered as examples that demonstrate government interest in constituting LDL as a teaching modality capable of democratizing access to higher education.

Keywords : Distance Education; Teaching Institutions; Ministry of Education; LDL Foundations; Distance Learning.
