ABSTRACT:
This study deals with how it has been occurring, to professors with experience in the face-to-face university teaching, the learning of the teaching practice in the online classroom in a distance education program of a higher education institution. It aims to investigate the learning of these professors to teach when, from the face-to-face modality, they started working as online tutors conducting the pedagogical mediation in the virtual environment of distance undergraduate courses. It uses as methodology the thematic oral history, for which semi-structured interviews were fulfilled with five university teachers with the profile defined by the study. It highlights that the learning of the teaching in distance undergraduate courses represents a new signification of what these university teachers commonly did in the face-to-face context due to the time and space specificities of the online classroom regarding the relationship with the student body, the knowledge construction and the teaching work.
