Entre o ideal e o real no ensino a distância: uma análise do PPC de Licenciatura em Pedagogia da UFC

Abstract

This text had as purpose to analyze the Pedagogical Project of the distanceeducation pedagogy course offered by the Federal University of Ceará in partnership with the Open University of Brazil and its impacts on the academic formation of the students, mostly workers. In addition, we seek to analyze distance education policies in Brazil within the context of capitalist production and the extent to which there is an effective democratization of higher education. Initially, we carried out a brief historical review of teacher training in Brazil. Subsequently, we discussed the pedagogical bases that guide teaching practices today, in order to understand how these contribute to the theoretical emptying of training. Finally, we seek to identify the limits and contradictions of the current Pedagogical Project of the course and its impacts on the academic training of students and workers. To this end, using bibliographic study, as well as document analysis and experience reporting. The analysis carried out during this work led us to conclude that the Pedagogical Project of the distance learning course at UFC presents several contradictions, to the extent that it does not guarantee possibilities for the intellectual elevation of its students through the teaching, research and extension tripod, as proposed in its text. On the contrary, its guiding principles lead to a theoretical emptying, which can reflect negatively on teaching practice and on the reproduction of the ideas of the hegemonic bourgeois class.
