Avaliação das políticas públicas dos alunos na educação a distância - EAD

Abstract

Distance Education (EAD) has grown significantly in Brazil, and with that, the evaluation of students' public policies in this teaching modality becomes essential. The purpose of this text is to discuss the benefits and harms of evaluating public policies for students in Distance Education. The text was elaborated from a bibliographic research in reliable and current sources on the evaluation of public policies of students in Distance Education. The main aspects and debates related to the theme were considered, aiming to present a comprehensive analysis. The evaluation of students' public policies in Distance Education presents benefits and harms, being necessary to seek a balance between the need to guarantee the quality of the teaching offered in the distance modality and the promotion of a more meaningful and effective learning process. It is important to consider the particularities of distance learning and to promote inclusion and equity in access to education. Assessment can contribute to improving the quality of teaching, adjusting the offer of courses and improving the teaching process. On the other hand, it can generate excessive pressure on students and teachers, lead to a standardization of teaching and an excessive focus on measuring results. It is fundamental that the evaluation of the public policies of students in Distance Learning be carried out in a critical and reflective way, always seeking to improve the teaching process and value meaningful learning.
