GLANCES ON ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
Keywords:
Distance Education, Institutionalization, Organizational culture, Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB) System, Public Institutions of Higher EducationAbstract
Among the most recent discussions that pervade the field of Distance Education (DE), the institutionalization of the modality is cited. It is a complex process, influenced by endogenous and exogenous elements, which is directly related to the quality and, therefore, to the continuity of the course proposals. In the case of Public Institutions of Higher Education, the object takes on other colors insofar as it has a fundamental intersection with the Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB) System, a policy of inducing the modality that, for more than a decade, has proved to be central in offering and maintaining distance learning experiences. That said, the aim of this article is to analyze the importance of organizational culture for the distance education institutionalization movement. The research is an excerpt from the doctoral thesis of the first author and had, as methodological procedures: document analysis, virtual focus group, semi-structured interview, Delphi technique and questionnaire. Study participants were managers, teacher-authors/content specialists, teacher-trainers/applicators, teacher-tutors (virtual and face-to-face), students and former students, all with experience in courses within the scope of the UAB System. The collected data were analyzed in the light of qualitative and quantitative approaches. With the study, we emphasize the importance of organizational culture as an element that connects groups of subjects and the institutional bureaucratic apparatus. Thus, we consider that any strategic actions, originating from managers that aim at institutionalization, should pay attention to the influences that can be exerted on the culture within the Public Institutions of Higher Education.
