O sucateamento do ensino superior através da educação a distância

Abstract

In Brazil, the distance learning modality (DLM) have been expanding in the past years, with the proposal of providing a more flexible schedule with low cost and to make possible the access to college for those who have a busy routine. Consequently this modality has attracted many students that dream with the college degree, resulting in the increasement of vacancies and enrollments in the teaching’s network. Based on this, mechanisms have been created to facilitate the access to such modality that diminishes its quality in a way that marginalizes and downgrades the learning system. Therefore, this article aims to address how distance education has become a key to the educational market, generating profit and devaluing education in the country, and even more specifically with the hiring of professionals that uncritically maintains the common-sense and absence of a teacher-student relationship.
