Resumo
The research with graduates has proved to be an important tool for educational institutions. Mostly, its use is motivated by the need of obtaining information to establish a connection between the institution and its academic clients. This knowledge about graduates, as well as its evidences, allows the development of improvements in the quality of the courses offered, when one considers information about where students get their jobs, how the labor market welcomed them, their personal satisfaction or even how they assess their own education. This research sought to describe the process of education, with regard to the educational path of e-learning students from UFES and the consequence of this experience in their personal and professional lives. Three aspects of analysis were used to guide this work: the perspective of taking part in the labor market, the motivation of the choice for e-learning and the identity of student/professor in e-learning. Thus, the objective was to understand the social representations of students from the e-learning courses of Physics and Management at UFES, who graduated between the first semester of 2010 and the first semester of 2014, concerning their higher education. The methodology was qualitative and was accomplished through face-to-face interviews with graduates. Data analysis was done with lexical analysis and content analysis, using the software IRaMuTeQ. Theoretical support for this work was the Theory of Social Representations (TSR) from Moscovici and the Central Core Theory (CCT) from Abric. Results indicate that students' choices for a specific course, as well as the e-learning type of education, were done taking into account their own skills and very specific needs, resulting in a great feeling of personal and professional accomplishment. Finally, some perceptions were noticed, which indicate that it is necessary for UFES to improve some pedagogical and administrative aspects, in order to promote quality and to decrease the existing prejudice related to this type of education
