Ética e gestão na educação superior à distância: o uso do compliance como dispositivo de controle de riscos

Abstract

The new information and communication technologies, which drive social transformations, have significantly modified the relationships in the educational environment. This context, especially social, contextualizes the subject of the present research, ethics and management in distance higher education, which approached management perspectives in the educational process with a view to the ethical problems or risks observed in its current dynamics. In the scenario of expansion of educational modalities at a distance, the concern arising from the presuppositions of contemporary ethics emerges permeated by facts that point to the risks and probable damages derived from the massification of education, leveraged by a new form of social interaction, ruled, then, by the renewable technologies of information and communication, a problematic reinforced by the prevalence of a private institutional organization over a public institutional organization. To do so, the research approach sought to analyze pragmatic aspects of management that could inhibit more effectively, efficiently and with greater accountability the ethical deviations in the administration of higher education courses in the distance modality. All this through a basic research, with a qualitative treatment, with explanatory character, predominated by bibliographic and documentary research techniques. Therefore, from the fateful existence to the hypothesis of the incidence of problems in the management of higher e-learning courses, irregularities generally observed in the conduct of the expansion of institutions, delimited by ethical deviations linked to conflicts of interest, the main consideration of the present investigation concentrated its focus on the indication of the use of a management of a more pragmatic nature through what is known as compliance.
