The aim of this paper is to present notes to discuss the constitution of “being a teacher” in Distance Education from the reference of Critical Theory of Society. The Distance Education is a teaching method that increased the most in Brazil in the recent years and has been used by public policies to promote the expansion and internalization of Higher Education offer. In this modality, teachers are called upon to acquire different “skills” – cognitive, technical, communicational and pedagogical – to perform multiple functions assigned to them. To discuss these matters, through a bibliographic research, we have structured this work in three parts. In the first part, based on the legal definitions of the Distance Education, we conducted a survey of studies that brings us closer to the research on this teaching method. In the second part, we present Brazilians’ researchers discussions on the teaching job in Distance Education to highlight the identified characteristics as necessary for the teachers who work in this educational modality. In the third part, we tried to question the teaching in Distance Education through the contributions of the Critical Theory of Society studies. With this work, therefore, it is expected to contribute to a discussion that is needed on the constitution of the teacher identity in Distance Education.

Keywords : DISTANCE EDUCATION; TEACHERS FUNCTIONS; FOUNDATIONS OF EDUCATION.
