RESUMO

This Doctorate Thesis has as subject the inquiry of quality in distance courses. This paper has as basis the referentials of quality for MEC distance courses (1998) and the elaborated indicators by NEA/Blackboard (2000), trying to verify the adoption of these indicators by a Higher Education Institution (HEI). For this, it was intended to investigate the coordinators and teachers? perception in relation to the quality of semi-presential course for managers from São Paulo state teaching system, offered by UNICAMP in partnership with the State Secretary of Education. This research, placed in 2006, with an ongoing course yet, is divided into two steps: a quantitative research accomplished through a questionnaire which was applied to course?s teachers, and a qualitative research, through interviews, with a pre-structured script, accomplished with the coordinators and supervisors of the units which compose the course. The qualitative analysis about the coordinators and supervisors? perception in relation to the management and constitution process of Manager?s course has showed up that these ones have considered the experience as positive, have learned with the vicissitudes and have attempted to fit themselves to the short terms and to the large amount of students (6000 students in one year period), recognizing as main structural problems the lack of adjustment of the course to the profiles and features but also restrictions of the target public and the employee outsourcing. According to the coordinators, it is fundamental that a critical evaluation of this first experience of the Institution must be done so that the same mistakes cannot be committed in future courses to be offered in a semi-presential modality. The teachers?s perception about to quality of teaching-learning process mediated by the actions in TELEDUC was positive, mainly the teachers after the age of 41 years old, who have demonstrated satisfied to the environment working, believing that this one has provided the interaction, the exchanges of experience and the collaboration between all the course participants.
