The work processes and subjectivity of professors in distance education courses

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between work processes and subjective processes in the activity of teaching school of distance education (DE). We chose to perform a qualitative exploratory study, which had a policy of the single case study and as instruments observation, documentary research, questionnaire and semistructured interview. The results revealed that teachers realize the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as inherent in all spheres of their lives, occurring also an intensification of the workload and the need for them to discipline themselves. The organization of work in distance education requires a new way of structuring, in which there is increased control, which restricts the teaching autonomy; socio-professional relations mediated by ICTs make the work of distance education teachers lonelier but at the same time, require a multidisciplinary team to execute the teaching.
