Abstract

Digital technologies currently contribute in order to facilitate people's daily lives, also considering the investments for the development of new TD's, from the access and expansion of the Internet, Distance Education (DE) is increasingly expanding as an option of study modality for many Brazilians. This work has as object of research the offer of Pedagogy Courses in the Distance Education modality, with the general objective of: Understanding the Pedagogical Project of Pedagogy Courses (PPC's) offered in the distance modality in the Northeast region, in federal universities . And the specific objectives were: To map the Pedagogy Courses offered in the distance modality, in the federal universities of the Northeast region; Search on the universities' websites the Pedagogical Projects of the Pedagogy Courses offered in the distance modality, in the federal universities of the Northeast cregion; To analyze in the Pedagogical Projects of the Courses the organization of the curricular and didactic proposals, teaching performance and student profile of the Pedagogy Courses offered in the distance modality, in the federal universities of the Northeast region; To reflect from the Pedagogical Projects of the Courses the Pedagogy Courses offered in the distance modality, in the federal universities in the Northeast region. The research was developed from a qualitative, documentary approach (LUDKE; ANDRÉ, 1986), by means of a survey of the PPCs of pedagogy courses offered in the distance modality, in the Federal Universities of the Northeast region of Brazil, and after an analysis of these documents was carried out. From the survey, which was carried out on the websites of each of the Federal Universities in the Northeast region, which according to data from the Public Ministry, this region has eighteen Federal Public Universities, we detected that of the eighteen universities, sixteen universities in the Northeast offer the Pedagogy course, fifteen offer the Pedagogy course in the face-to-face modality, only one does not offer the course in the face-to-face modality and in the distance modality, only nine offer the course. Of the nine universities that offer the Distance Pedagogy course, the PPCs of seven universities were analyzed, since only seven PPCs were available on the websites of these institutions. I conclude by emphasizing that this research was important for my training as a pedagogue, as it enabled me to have a new (critical and reflective) look at the offer of courses in the distance modality, by understanding all the complexity that requires the elaboration and organization of the structure of a course. by demanding this teaching format in distance education, innovative in its structural organization of distance courses, through Digital Technologies in order to train a quality professional, who is critical-reflective in the teaching and learning process.
