Resumo
Resumo: Este artigo descreve os resultados de uma pesquisa com tutores a distância da Universidade Aberta do Brasil na Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Nesse modelo de educação a distância os tutores têm principalmente a função de apoiar os docentes nos ambientes virtuais de ensino e aprendizagem, especialmente nas questões de comunicação com os estudantes. Para verificar até que ponto os tutores estão ou não realizando estas e outras funções, aplicamos um questionário respondido de forma impressa e virtual com tutores das licenciaturas e bacharelados da instituição. Resultados mostraram que eles têm a seu encargo praticamente o andamento do curso online e se ressentem da inadequação dessas atividades, da qualificação como estagiários e dos baixos salários.
Abstract: This article describes the results of a survey with distance tutors at the Open University of Brazil at the Federal University of Santa Catarina. The main task of tutors in this model of distance education is primarily helping teachers in virtual environments for teaching and learning, especially in matters of communication with students. To check the extent to which tutors are doing or not these and other functions it was applied a printed and virtual questionnaire with tutors's of bachelors and licenciate degrees at the institution's courses. Results showed that they have responsibilities much more related to the progress of the online course and resent the inadequacy of these activities, the qualification as a trainee and their low wages.
