DIALOGICAL INTERACTION IN THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS OF DISTANCE COURSES
Abstract
This article presents partial results from the research “Digital Technologies and Education Observatory” conducted at the State University of Montes Claros (Unimontes), that aimed to analyze the dialogical interaction in the virtual environments of a distance graduation course. We analyzed 285 messages posted at the Virtual Learning Environment Discussion Forum, considering the following categories: communication, participation and collaboration. The data were collected and analyzed based on a historical-dialectical approach and they indicate that despite the advances of the Open and Distance Education, the practices are still conventional and monological, centered in the teacher. Thus, there is a tendency to reproduce, in the virtual environment, with a new design, conventional and outdated practices, centered in the active role of the teacher.
