Abstract

This study presents the topic of distance education (EAD) and its challenges, a teaching model that is evolving in the contemporary era. It aims to describe distance learning and its challenges, as well as the improvements that can be applied. As a research question: What are the challenges and improvements of distance learning? The objective of this bibliographic study is to present the challenges faced by distance learning in Mozambique, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and how to overcome the difficulties faced by individuals who wish to receive a quality education. To improve this teaching method, the professionals involved must develop skills and abilities to overcome difficulties and adapt their teaching practices to the real world of students. Another very important factor for the effectiveness of distance learning in Brazil is the participation of the State and society in the teaching process. Comparing the results in a framework allows us to understand that the use of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) facilitates the transformation of learning. An important part of this change has to do with the use of these technologies in distance education (DE), as tools to reach new audiences and develop new teaching methods, alternatives to face-to-face teaching, or explicitly, complementary or integral. parts of teaching. Our main conclusion is that distance education itself brings a revolution in the current educational paradigm, as it offers multiple opportunities for educational institutions at the elementary, secondary and higher education levels to integrate and enrich teaching and learning material. Furthermore, it provides a new way of interaction and communication between teachers and students. To develop the use of ICTs in distance learning in Mozambique, it is necessary to work together to rationalize, plan and continuously work on the available ICT resources.
