Abstract

This paper discusses the educational processes during the continued teacher training in the Lato Sensu course of Specialization in Gender and Diversity in School (the GDE), offered by the Education Department of Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA), through the Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB) system, therefore, through the Distance Learning (ODL) modality. The study constitutes of a qualitative research which uses documental and thematic analyses methodologically in order to identify knowledge produced and recorded in pedagogical situations and in the GDE Course. The problematization of the empirical material will be given considering the post-structuralist studies, Cultural Studies and the Foucault conceptual tools. The speeches represent excerpts which refer to 'learning inflections' of/from the participating teachers, which allows us to observe and point out that the teaching/learning processes constituent of the ODL, permits the identification of learning moments and redirect this learning, since inflection is a concept which may be understood as an inner movement which results in change and, consequently, in 'new knowledge'. Thus, the main objective of this research is to recognize that there was significant, experiential and reflective learning, resulting in the construction of 'new knowledge', in the context of a quality and daring ODL in its structure and functioning.
