Resumo
It was analyzed in this work the evaluation process of distance tutoring in a postgraduate
course, with reflections about conduct changes occurred. This is a case study for the
postgraduate course in Informatics in Education of CEAD/Ifes. An evaluation process was
built in this context and can be adapted to other realities. Our focus was the distance tutor, an
important actor in the students learning process. Bibliographic and documentary researchs and
the participation of students and the course team contributed to generate four versions of the
evaluation process. We analyzed the instruments created, which allowed the evaluation of
distance tutors for different looks (students, teachers, presential tutors and self-assessment), as
well as other monitoring methods: through virtual resources (especially by the Moodle
learning environment) and face meetings (individual, discipline and team). The evaluation
process aimed to help the distance tutors to better understand their role in the course and
identify gaps in their work, seeking improvements and favoring thus awakenings and the
constitution of a reflexive tutor. We analyze, in a quantitative and qualitative manner, the
performance of distance tutors in the course disciplines, the impact of the evaluation process
in their activities, the difficulties and problems encountered during their journey, conduct
changes observed, resistances and advances. We used content analysis, triangulation and
statistical method. Interviews were also conducted with a selected group of tutors. For
construction of the evaluative process and to perform the analyzes we used, especially, the
theories related to the constructivist and socio-historical conception of education. We
achieved results that show that the evaluation process has contributed in improving the
performance of distance tutors of the course, as: in the constitution of the tutor, in forming a
reflective tutor, in the students monitoring, in supporting the knowledge construction of
students, in communication with these and with team members, among others. Moreover, this
work opens new perspectives for future study.
