Open-access CHALLENGES IN OFFERING DISTANCE COURSES IN A BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT PROGRAM IN MOZAMBIQUE

The educational practices of the “Program to Support the Expansion of Distance Higher Education in the Republic of Mozambique” promoted South-South Cooperation and involved the Open University of Brazil, two public universities in Mozambique, and four public universities in Brazil. Based on this experience, a research question arises: what narratives did Brazilian and Mozambican managers develop regarding the experience in building a “model” of quality distance education? To this end, this research aims to analyze the narratives regarding their implementation and implementation process, pointing out elements that would lEaD to quality in student training and teaching work. From a methodological standpoint, the research is qualitative with a “narrative approach,” based on written and oral material produced by the Program between 2010 and 2019. The study highlighted the challenges encountered in establishing a “distance education model” that ensured quality in the education of those involved. There was a perceived clash of expectations and practices around the distance education models of the participating institutions, generating challenges for the program, which are expressed in the research as “stones encountered on the journey” and which provoke lessons learned in the pursuit of quality.
