Abstract

The Institute of Education of the Federal University of Mato Grosso (Brazil) since 1988 has started to re-formulate its course of Pedagogy by directing the students’ education towards acting mainly in primary school, and since 1993 only for his purpose. As part of this new policy of compromise with public school in 1994 the Undergraduate Programme on Primary School (1st to 4th degrees)  through Distance Education in order to obtain the qualification of more than 10,000 teachers who work at primary school level in Mato Grosso Amazon Region. In the system designed for supporting the students’ teaching-learning process, after the first year of the course implementation, two aspects were evaluated as essential for the experience “success”:  the studying materials developed and the tutorial system adopted. In this text we propose initially to approach the course we have run through in order to produce the  studying materials  and to design a tutorial system  that is different from those ones which have been acclaimed by institutions with consolidated work on Distance Education. Secondly, we intend to identify and evaluate the elements, which have been pointed out as  “responsible” for this initial  “success”.
