EaD, Teacher training, Distance education.
The approaches on the subject of teacher education through the EaD become relevant today, in view of the social barriers to acceptability that still exist, mainly due to the superficial knowledge of the subject matter. This work was produced with the objective of analyzing the process of teacher training in the distance modality at UFRN, emphasizing the Degree in Geography, for this, the study outlined the trajectory of teacher training in EaD in the national context and in the UFRN. The methodology used in this research covered two technical procedures: documentary research and bibliographical research and the data were analyzed in a qualitauantitative perspective. The temporal cut of the research at UFRN covered the period from 2007 to 2017, which marks, respectively, the years of entry of the first and last students in the degree course in distance geography. From the results obtained from the research, it can be seen that, although it has made great progress in structuring the offer of undergraduate courses in distance geography, through the creation of SEDIS among other important activities adopted by the university, UFRN still needs to correct specific problems that are not exclusive to it but affect the effectiveness of student training, such as: high dropout rates and insufficient enrollment.
