Public policies of teacher training for basic education: study on education by EaD

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the policies of teacher education of Basic Education in Brazil, with emphasis on the modality of teaching by Distance Education - Distance Education, reflecting on the teaching offered by private Higher Education Institutions - HEI, and its implications for the training of working-class children in the city and in the countryside. The discussion revolves around the current political conjuncture of the country, bringing to the debate the limits and challenges that government actions, carried out from 2016, represent to public education. The methodology used consists of a literature review. As a reference, we are based on theorists such as: Duarte (2010, 2004), Martins (2010), Saviani (1995, 2009 and 2011), among others, as well as data from the National Literacy Assessment - ANA (2016) and the Union of Maintainers of Higher Education - SEMESP (2015). In the context of societies organized from the capitalist mode of production, teacher education occurs through the development of public policies derived from neoliberal policies, influenced by the demands of the market and its training requirements. All this through meaningless pedagogical practices that can, in fact, favor an education capable of contributing to the overcoming of class society.
