Acessibilidade na formação de professores a distância: um estudo de caso das dimensões técnica e pedagógica

Resumo

Three elements can be mentioned especially regarding the characterization of contemporary education: the increasing integration of digital technologies in educational environments, the rise of the distance education mode and the inclusion of people with diverse needs in regular institutions. While these elements can alone be considered as new challenges, the combination of them all requires a set of technical and methodological efforts that allow the quality of the experience and the permanence of all subjects in the educational training system. From this perceptive, this study presents the perception of people with and without diverse needs, who are involved in a distance teacher education course, in relation to the contribution of two kinds of strategies: technical and pedagogical. The technical strategy focuses on the promotion of accessibility, and pedagogical one addresses the adaptations of the course program. The results suggest that these actions are valid, but also indicate some weaknesses in the learning virtual environment which was used.
