Resumo
The current thesis dissertation is associated with the thematic area of “State, Policies and History of
Education” of the Postgraduate Research Program in Education at the Faculty of Education of the Federal
University of Goiás. It comprises research inquiry conducted by the Research and Study Group in Technology
and Online Distance Education. Its general aim was the comprehension of the repercussions of contemporary
institutionalized capitalist advances over working conditions for undergraduate program teachers at the
Brazilian Open University in the context of the Federal University of Tocantins. With the intent of weaving
a reflection and analytical course as well as the expositive and compositive approach for the sections, the
following specific objectives were selected: to discuss the concept of human work in its universal meaning
and contextualize it, given its history, in the industrial capitalist and flexible-financial-neoliberal capital
society; to highlight conceptual and historical details of the teaching profession work in the realm of flexiblefinancial-neoliberal capitalist and industrial capitalist accumulation regimes; to indicate the facts undergoing
online distance education systematization in the country and worldwide, drawing attention to the specific and
peculiar features of the Brazilian case that established the grounds for the Brazilian Open University System;
to understand the developing structure of the Open University System between 2005 and 2020 by means of
data and policies provided by CAPES (Coordination for Higher Education Staff Qualification), through the
Online Distance Education Board of Directors; to analyze the empirical evidences of working conditions for
teachers in the Federal University of Tocantins’ Open University System. As for the methodological approach,
a dialectical and historical materialism perspective was adopted since the research thread follows along the
set of historical, dynamic, diverse, contradictory, complex and multifaceted processes of a capitalist mode of
production society. A case study procedure was selected in keeping with its appropriateness for exploratory,
bibliographical, documentary and field research by means of analytical/descriptive analysis and questionnaire
data gathering. Results made clear that teaching professionals in the Open University System at the Federal
University of Tocantins were snared by the flexible-financial-neoliberal capital system, which characterizes
the new face of work in the Brazilian public Higher Education teaching profession. This means that the
teaching staff is hired in disagreement with legal work and pension requirements, depriving professionals of
the shelter of social warrant and rights, of appropriate material working conditions and leaving them with
lowered payment policies, without any clear planning of working schedules. As a result, barriers are imposed
to union organization initiatives and to the feeling of group membership and belonging to a professional class,
which leads to more intensive workdays and thereon to teachers’ physical and mental illness. Yet, evidence
shows that even worse consequences impact face-to-face and online tutors at the Open University in the
Federal University of Tocantins, who experience high rates of work conditions precariousness.
