Perfil e competências do professor no ensino superior na educação a distância: avanços e perspectivas para discussões

Abstract

The objective of this work is to identify the profile for the teacher 's performance in Higher Education, in the light of the existing legal provisions and the policy proposals in the Quality Indicators indicators, highlighting the competencies required. It was based on the theoretical-methodological perspective of Sociology of critical education. It consists of a qualitative research, of a bibliographic character, using the Technique of Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA). It is argued that training in this field is in undergraduate degree, because it is characterized as teaching work. It is evident that the need for higher education institutions in initial teacher training courses re-evaluated this situation. Considering that teachers can act in the role of teacher and tutor, this study proposes re-significances regarding the differentiation in the performance of the teacher and tutor in order to avoid the precariousness of the teaching profession.
