Evasão na educação a distância: uma análise conceitual para o aprimoramento das causas

Abstract

This paper presents a literature review about evasion, a recurring problem that has reached both the public and private education institutions. The analysis was made based on a Distance Education course (DE) and to do so it was presented a history of the development of this kind of course in the world and in Brazil, approaching correspondence courses, satellite courses with the use of televisions and finally reaching the age of online interaction activities with the use of the Internet. From this analysis it was observed, more specifically, a course of technology in the distance education mode of a Public Educational Institution pointing out the possible causes of that school evasion. In addition, it was made a reflection concerning the importance of using the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), the use of interaction tools between teacher and student and also the constant need to update and study, something that all of those who are involved in this teaching process will have to face, since this is the only way it will be possible to surf the virtual education in a compromised, pleasant and lasting form.
