Novos desafios na formação continuada de professores via EAD: Programa Formação pela Escola

Abstract

In the current context of the incorporation of information and communication technologies (ICT) to educational processes, distance education programs have proven to be an alternative to meet the improvement of the teacher. In this sense, this paper aimed to examine some of the challenges of the distance continuing education of teachers, specifically the difficulties of the participants in the Programa Nacional de Formação Continuada a Distância nas Ações do FNDE – Formação pela Escola, in the town of São Pedro da Aldeia, which led to evasion. This program aims to train teachers to act as agents in government actions and deal with the technologies in the educational context. Teacher’s answers to a questionnaire made possible to identify some difficulties that led to withdrawal of the course for some students. This paper made a brief foray on the subject of teacher’s continuous training in Distance Education (EAD) and confirms that we must give the teacher opportunities to develop knowledge about how ICT can be integrated into teaching practice and their own continuing education.
