SUMMARY:

The objective of this work is to analyze the feminization process in the distance tutoring activity of the Open University of Brazil (UAB) system, instituted by Decree No. 5,800, on June 8, 2006, of the Ministry of Education (MEC), being the most evident and substantial public policy for distance higher education in the country (FERREIRA; CARNEIRO, 2015), which aims to promote the democratization and internalization of higher education in the country, with priority for the training of teachers in the basic network of the states, municipalities and the Federal District, based on the assumption that the so-called activity is a teaching activity, that
the composition of the enlisted workforce is composed of a significant part of teachers, in particular, by teachers from the basic public education network and, to a lesser extent, by teachers from the public education network, foundation of private education. To fulfill this purpose, data from the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) database, SisUAB, were used, through a request via Law No. 12,527/2011, the Access to Information Act, in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 13,709/2018, General Law for the Protection of Personal Data, whose data refer to the years 2006 to 2021, corresponding to more than 96,639 links only of tutors and distance tutors, with 62,615 female links and 34,024 male links, confirming thus the thesis of the feminization of labor activity. A research questionnaire was also applied via Google Docs to professionals who were working or who had already worked in distance tutoring in previous years, reaching 2,210 respondents. The objective of the two research techniques employed were: to trace the socio-professional profile of this labor contingent, with emphasis on their sexual composition and the presence of teachers,
and, above all, teachers from the basic education network. The results extracted from SisUAB data and the applied questionnaire allowed us to achieve success in our propositions, since the work activity proved to be mostly feminized, made up of about 40% of teachers in the basic education network, its gender composition reaches 69.88% of teachers and 30.12% of teachers, as well as presenting the main socio-professional characteristics of this expressive laborcontingent and the conditions under which the work is carried out. We theoretically refer to the object of investigation from the configuration of feminization in the world of work, with emphasis on teaching work, using the sociology of work and gender, from the classic contributions to the theme in Engels and Marx, tracing the course of institutionalization of studies on women by sociology in Brazil, analyzing the implications of gender beyond the gender composition of the teaching category of tutoring, since the use of the gender concept, as an explanatory category of analysis, enables the understanding of the elements traditionally associated with the asymmetries that define the female condition in the world of work. We resorted to Marxian historical and dialectical materialism, since dialectics provides the bases for a dynamic and totalizing interpretation of reality, since for Marx, reality is a dynamic and contradictory process inseparable from praxis, since this perspective allows analyzing the relations of classes and sex relations or gender relations as coextensive, since both are structuring and fundamental relations of capitalist society.
