RESUMO

This research focuses on improving teacher skills for distance education (DE). To treat this issue teachers basic competences have been identified for his/her suitable performance in this relative new teaching modality. Once we accept that it is always possible to improve teachers teaching capacity, a framework has been created to systematize the qualification process for distance teaching. This framework provides guidelines that indicate what must be done so that the identified competences could be treated in a systematic way. Checklands Soft Systems Methodology - SSM has been used as a reference model providing reliability and support for the process of the framework creation. The conception of the framework also considered some concepts related to analytic and systemic approaches, as well as synergy, efficacy and efficiency. In addition, the conceptualized model has been inspired on ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) certification/orientation process. As a result of the model application to a real situation, improvements have been indicated to teachers qualification process of a college. These improvements demonstrate the feasibility and utility of the created framework. The contributions of this thesis are related to the desirable skills and competences that warranty mastery to the teachers involved in DE and to the flexibility of the framework which could be used in different situations.
