Keywords:
Distance education, Educational practices, University educationAbstract
The educational process has undergone changes in recent years, advancing exponentially, especially in higher education at a distance, resulting in the need to change the way pedagogical practices are conducted. Faced with this situation, the research aimed to conduct a critical analysis of the role of the tutor in distance education at a Higher Education Institution in the final stages of implementing this modality. Specifically, the following objectives were pursued as well: (i) conduct a literature review on the implementation of distance education in Higher Education Institutions; (ii) gain insights into the role of tutoring based on dimensional indicators of the INEP/MEC Course Evaluation Instrument; (iii) analyze the strategies defined by the coordination for the full functioning of distance education; and (iv) compare the functions directed at tutoring in the educational institution under study with the literary provisions. The results of the case study demonstrate that the educational institution has invested in the distance education (EaD) methodology with the aim of offering quality education to a broader audience, contributing to the dissemination of higher education. The success of the project is the result of efficient management and shared commitment among the stakeholders. Technological infrastructure is highlighted by management as fundamental to the success of EaD, with investments in digital platforms, while instructional materials are produced and adapted by tutors to meet the specific needs of students. In addition to content production, analysis, and review, students play an essential role in EaD management by handling technologies, designing pedagogical activities, collaborating with teachers and coordinators, and providing support to fellow students.
