REZENDE, Maria Aparecida. Digital media in the context of indigenous teachers’ training in the EAD-MT Pedagogy course: a problem to be discussed. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.60, pp.97-116.  Epub 04-Feb-2020. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.19.060.ds05.

This text aims to debate a problem in the Pedagogy Distance Education course, offered by the Education Institute of the Federal University of Mato Grosso/Brazilian Open University/Distance Education Center. The course focuses on training teachers from two ethnic groups: A’uwẽ (Xavante) and Boe (Bororo) from the state of Mato Grosso. Some questions foster this debate: the difficulties faced by the participants since in their communities the internet does not have the quality necessary to develop the activities of the Virtual Learning Environment; the lack of scholarship to cover expenses of participating in conferences and face-to-face classes in the city; the linguistic difficulties, since the activities of the course are done in Portuguese and the teachers speak two other languages, Portuguese being their second language. These questions outline ways, paths in the search for an open dialogue, a debate that will help to face the challenges the Course has come upon while seeking to meet the sociocultural diversity present in Mato Grosso. The information was obtained from visits to the villages, testimonies from academic advisors that monitor the academic stations and from reports given by the indigenous people. It is expected that this text will bring about a dialogue among professionals of the Distance Teaching area so that, together and through the digital media, alternatives can be found so the indigenous students in this teaching modality can remain in the course.
